Rotary in Russia 20 years

On June 5 there will be an International seminar in Moscow to celebrate the 20 years of Rotary in Russia with participation of Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar (RI president 2005-06) and other rotarians who were deeply involved from the start.
During the first 15 years the Russian clubs were part of two Swedish districts and one Finnish district. In 2006 a new district was opened by Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar and the European part of Russia became district 2220.
Russia is part of my membership responsibility as RRIMC in zone 15 and it has been exciting to follow the development of the district during these three years. I will travel to Moscow to participate in the International seminar. I will report about the event in this blog next week.
