We are still in 2019, a year with a great significance for our District. In May, we celebrated 90 years of Rotarian presence in Romania. The impact and historical role of our organization can be seen in the retrospective of the projects that made a real, measurable change in the two countries.
In 2020, we celebrate 20 years of existence of the 2241 Rotary District of Romania & Moldova. It is a historical event. It is a privilege and an honor for me to celebrate this with you, as the D2241 Governor.
We have over 5,500 members in Rotary, Rotaract and Interact and, during these 20 years, we have all invested time, passion in charitable projects, dedicated to our communities. We have put in countless hours of work that cannot be quantified in money, but which are invaluable.
During these 20 years, we have made 382 Matching Grants, valued at $4.011.375 and 53 Global Grants, valued at $3.935.694.
With the projects we have done through the Rotary Foundation, we have brought in $9.927.870, for projects concerning Rotary’s areas of interest: fighting disease, supplying clean water, sanitation and hygiene, saving mothers and children, support for education, local economic growth and the eradication of polio. There are lives transformed for the better, there are communities that work better because of the involvement of Rotary members. The impact that we, as an organization, have is exceptional and I congratulate you for your involvement. We can all be happy we left something more beautiful and better behind.
I invite you to celebrate the 90-20 CAMPAIGN together through actions, large-scale projects and by awarding Rotary excellence to Rotarians and their clubs.

2. The Golden Book – Jubilee Monograph
Album with 755 pages, all color, special paper album.
During this year as Governor, I was offered the possibility to meet you all, exceptional people, with whom I have made remarkable projects. In reality, this is the only thing that matters, this is the only thing that is left behind. This wall of good will be built further. This will happen through the example of the strong, honest, happy, fulfilled, modest, clean and good-willed Rotarians that I have met or that I have discovered. Rotary plants NOW! The seeds will grow and the fruits will be sweet.
Thus, to honor all the efforts of the clubs and members, and to make them known, I have decided to leave behind a Golden Book, that sums up the best projects and the impact they had on the communities we are all serving. This has been tried before to no avail, but with a great patience, perseverance, enthusiasm and creativity, we have made this possible NOW. I congratulate the clubs and the Rotary members that have contributed to this book. This is a unique, symbolique monograph, an album that shows our results in the past 20 years.

Dear noble knights,
A Jubilee year has inspired the creation of a truly exceptional wine, a 2019 Pinot Gris, to which all the components from the “terroir” of District 2241 Romania and Moldova have contributed.
You are dealing with a jubilee wine, from the tradition of the 90 years of Rotary life’s presence in the Romanian land, an extremely fine wine, from a mature vine of 20 years. The passion of the collectors, together with their dedication in excellence, gives it a velvety aftertaste, which delights not only the palatal vault, but also the heart of the one dedicated to discovering harmony in every moment.
JUBILEUM is a wine that feels fine and generous in fruits from different cultures, continents, varieties, in notes of Rotary philosophy, various ideas and perspectives, followed by notes of concrete actions. The full, round taste, balanced with typical aromas of friendship, strengthens our conviction that we have an exceptional wine.
The years passed over this wine will enrich it in refined shades, keeping the values that impregnated its essence intact: the lasting friendship between vine and soil, light as food, the peace of harmonious growth, the wisdom of the harvesters, the joy of the harvest. Ideal to accompany dishes made with faith, hope and love.
4. Jubileum Premium
How else could we celebrate this jubilee year for volunteering than with an extraordinary wine. It is a wine from a vine of 20 years, extremely fine, created with the same dedication for excellence that the 2241 District is known for.
This wine is intended exclusively for Rotary members and is not marketed.
