Rotary Club of Lagos unveils logo, activities for 60th anniversary

The Rotary Club of Lagos, a member of Rotary International District 9110 which also covers Ogun state, has unveiled a new logo ahead of plans to celebrate its 60th anniversary.

During a ceremony held at the Lagos Motor Club, Ikoyi, it also revealed the activities lined up for its celebration.

Larry Agose, a past president of the club’s planning committee, said the 60th-anniversary celebration is necessary — despite the COVID-19 pandemic — due to the “remarkable” impact the club has had in its immediate clime and beyond.

He stated that activities slated for the diamond jubilee include tree planting, a charity walk, visits to key stakeholders, and a grand dinner that will feature a keynote speaker.

At the event, Adeniyi Sowemimo, a past assistant governor, went ahead to explain the concept behind its new logo.

He said the “60” connotes maturity while the colour gold was chosen because it not only signifies royalty but exudes optimism, warmth, hope, and humanity which Rotary International has been known for since it began a century ago.

In his presentation, Dare Adeyeri, the club president, said that the Rotary Club of Lagos will also mark the landmark celebration with signature projects that will significantly enrich lives in urban and remote communities.
