Rotary Paris Grenelle
On Wednesday, June 24, 2020, we were all gathered for a very special occasion: the charter presentation of the Rotary Paris Grenelle, a club we sponsored.
Rotary Paris Grenelle is a club located in the 15th arrondissement. Its President and Founder, Sergueï Bavykine, is a former member of the Rotary Paris Agora, who sponsored the new club.
On this occasion, the new club receives its charter from the Governor, while the president of the sponsoring club presents the traditional bell.

Rotary Paris Agora turns 20!
To celebrate this anniversary, we organized a friendly and festive evening at the Cercle Suédois, our long-standing meeting place.
Guests wandered through the salons of the Cercle Suédois, stopping off at the desk of Alfred Nobel, once a member of the Cercle founded in 1891, and discover this peaceful setting in the center of Paris, brimming with stories and History.
