Dear visiting Rotarians and guests,

Due to Corona restrictions you are advised to contact the club before visiting any meeting.

Happy Easter

Fellowship at Muse

We had our first fellowship and we all enjoyed it very much at Muse, Paphos. As one of our members commented: 'The venue was perfect, food amazing & how wonderful to socialize with our fellow club members, especially new members we have not had an opportunity to meet in person till now. So nice to have a little bit of normality back in our lives.' We all had a good time and felt safe.

Zoom Dinner from Robin's kitchen

For this meeting we decided to support Robin's kitchen. Our members ordered lasagna and tiramisu from Robin's kitchen and collected it but we ate all together our meals via Zoom.

It was a very nice meal and good fun.

Imagine every commercial kitchen in your City donating a meal for every sale they make... no one in your City will ever go hungry!

You might think is impossible and yet, a well run kitchen can produce an extra meal for every sale and still manage to cover all the associated costs, as long as the owners don't keep the profit to themselves.

Robin's kitchen is a non-profit kitchen with a unique selling proposition:

“For every meal you buy, we donate one to people in need.”

Happy Women's Day

Power of Goodness Video Competition

A big thanks to George who organized it all for us, from the design to the installation. Well done !

Happy Birthday Rotary

Grassroots at the core, Rotary links 1.2 million members to form an organization of international scope. It started with the vision of one man — Paul Harris. The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23 February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas, form meaningful, lifelong friendships, and give back to their communities.

Support Paphos families in need with Avgerinos

Since the beginning of the Covid pandemic, Paphos-Aphrodite Rotary Club members have worked hard to support local families in need with food and other essentials.

Due to a public collection and further donations, we have been able to donate €800 euros worth of food and baby supplies to Avgerinos. This charity will distribute these to families who still need ongoing support at this time.

We would also like to thank Papantoniou Supermarkets for their kind offer of a discount on the items purchased which means the families will benefit even more.

As we would like to help more, therefore please help your fellow citizens in Paphos and donate now:
