“We have already hit the ground running with the completion of the first phase of the paint job for the senior citizens centre.
“Today, we are also carrying out the maternal and child health support project which is in line with the Rotary theme for the month of July. To achieve these, we need the support of everyone, every kobo counts as we want to create hope in the world through the impactful projects.
“I’m appealing to all members of Rotary Club of Ibadan West for the usual support and cooperation extended to the presidents before me. As it’s our usual practice, it is our year and not the president’s year. Let’s brace up as we use our 3 T’s that is, ‘Our Time, Our Treasure and Our Talent’ to create hope in the world,” she said.
In his remarks, the outgoing president, Mr Johnson Ajayi, charged members of the club to take their activities beyond the shore of Ibadan West and District.
