Dear Rotary International Service Committee,
We hope this email finds all of you well. We are writing on behalf of our local Ukrainian community to share some wonderful news about our recent event, which took place on October 7th, 2023. Thanks to your generous support, this event was an overwhelming success.
First and foremost, we are delighted to report that the event saw close to 80 attendees, the vast majority of whom were recent Ukrainian newcomers displaced by the war in their home country. It was heartwarming to witness the connections and friendships that were forged throughout the day. Your contribution of $500 played a pivotal role in making this event a reality, and we are immensely grateful for your support.
We received a great deal of positive feedback from the event attendees, and we wanted to share some of their comments with you which I had translated for you from Ukrainian:
- "Thank you for a great event! Ukrainians, you are amazing!" - Victor, event attendee.
- "A huge thanks to everyone who organized, sponsored and attended this event! You have done so great! to see all the smiles - it was heartwarming. I was so happy to see everyone. Can't wait for next time!" - Yulia, another attendee.
- "Thank you all! I had a great time meeting and talking to everyone. It was so good to see that there are so many of us here. It was such a great idea to bring everyone together! " - Mariana, a mother who attended with her children.
