DISTURBING the Status Quo

Nothing, not even the ‘cats & dogs’ rain we experienced on 30th November, 2019 could stop us from turning up for our Charter night. Everyone, from Rotarians, Rotaractors & guests, showed up at Mystique Gardens, Westlands to witness our special day. African timers didn’t disappoint in their time keeping skills but their killer 80s & 90s looks were definitely worth delaying our Soul Train!

Charter member, Rtr. Paskah Chebet our girl on the mic for the night might have overdosed on energy drink because that energy was the best! Our creative juices were then put to the test with our #PelekaNaRieng for Secret Santa and most members were well surprised with the amazing gifts they received; from customized Jerseys, Diaries, Stash Boxes & even imported scents.

The main agenda for the night was led by our DRR, SK. Our Charter president, Rtr. Karen Rono was more than happy to wear the Chain as her team got inducted. Our Mother Club President Elect, Rtn. Martin Okuthe was also present to witness this and what a joy it was for him, together with a few members from our mother club, to watch their babies get chartered.

Ain’t no party with no after-party, they say, and who are we to disappoint? After the formal bit was done, enjoyment called and we diligently answered. The party started at our local in Westlands then later at Bahamas Breeze.

This night will forever be special to each Rotaractor from The Rotaract club of Hurlingham. Special thanks to our mother club, the Rotary Club of Hurlingham & Mystique Gardens for hosting us. Thank you to Rotary club of Nairobi East and all the Rotary clubs that helped make this happen and to the Rotaract clubs of Milimani, Westlands, Karura, Kitengela, Muthaiga North, Nairobi Mashariki, Nairobi Central, Technical University of Kenya and all our guests. It was a great honour to have such a terrific crowd during our Charter Night.
