RCoDD arranged an Afternoon Tea for the Ukrainian visitors in our area. The photo above shows the visitors with our President Jim Shoesmith and International Chair Bob Leaper together with one half of a host family lurking behind.
The afternoon included a Zoom link with Sergii Zavadskyi. In the run up to the Saturday we received this email from Sergii.
Dear friends, Rotarians!
I join you in deep sadness on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Please accept my deepest and most sincere condolences.
For many people in the world, Her Majesty was an example of nobility, service to her people and all of humanity, a wise woman who carried the responsibility of Sovereign and Leader of the great British Nation and Commonwealth for over 70 years. Until her last breath, she flawlessly and with total commitment performed her duties as Sovereign and as Leader of the Commonwealth, and was a beacon for values and world peace. For us Rotarians, it is especially important that her children, Prince Charles and Princess Anne were Rotarians. They, as she herself was, are and will continue to be, examples to us of service above self.
It is very important for us Ukrainians, that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II supported Ukraine on the path of its development, especially during the last 30 years, and most of all during the recent months of russian aggression against our Nation. Two days before her sudden death, Her Majesty appointed an ardent supporter of complete Victory of Ukraine in this war with russia, as Prime Minister. I firmly believe in our imminent Victory, in our special relationship and in our bright future ahead.
May the soul of Queen Elizabeth II rest in peace.
God save the King!
