THIS year’s Eid el Kabir celebration was one with a difference for members of Rotary International District 9110, Nigeria, as the District Governor, Remi Bello, FCA hosted members to a sallah celebration party.
The high-point of the event was when Rotary Club of Ojodu was declared the highest bidder of the auction and they were presented with a ram.
It was indeed an evening of fun, dining and entertainment as Rotarians and Rotaractors came from across Lagos and Ogun states to the Rotary Centre in GRA, Ikeja, Lagos with their families and friends to celebrate with the change-maker District Governor and his wife, Nike.
DG Bello in his address, outlined the relevance of the sallah celebration to Rotary as an organisation and to the Rotary spirit.
According to him, “It is about three things: It is about making sacrifices, it is about being obedient, and it is about being charitable”
The sallah celebration party organised by Evening With DG and We Care Committees is the first of its kind to be celebrated by any District 9110 Governor and it was enjoyed by all members who thanked Bello for the gesture.
Apart from food and drinks, everyone was entertained by the Versatile Band (products of the Rotary International District 9110 Vocational Centre, Ikorodu) and a deejay, who thrilled guests till well into the night.
Rotary International is a service organisation of professional and business leaders who come together to provide humanitarian services, building goodwill and peace around the world. District 9110 covers all Rotary clubs in Lagos and Ogun states.
