Rotary Club - Veles

Working under the motto "Help above all"

The Rotary Club - Veles (RC Veles) has been a member of the Rotary International Family since 2001, and the chartering of the club was done on 19 and 20 April this year.
Rotary International is an organization of business and professional leaders from all over the world who proclaim and carry out humanitarian activity, strive for the highest ethnic standards and help to build well being and peace in the world. One and a half billion Rotarians from all over the world, in 162 world countries are organized into 29, 700 clubs.

The first rotary club was established in Chicago, Illinois, USA, on 23 February 2905 and the name Rotary came from the original tradition to hold the meetings at the offices of the club members by rotation.

The Rotary Club Veles initiates close cooperation with the other clubs in the district 2480, where it belongs, and on wider level its goal is to deepen the spirit of mutual understanding and helping in order to maintain the peace and stability in the region and the world. Mentors of the Rotary Club Veles are the members of the Rotary Club Skopje, Josif Tanevski, Ljubomir Janev and Dimce Nikolov, and the first Rotarian from Veles is Pance Arsov. Besides these two towns, there are Rotary Clubs in Bitola and Stip. Led by the Rotarian motto "Help above all", the members of RC Veles are actively engaged in providing conditions for faster social and economic development and the welfare of all. The members are eminent citizens of various professions in the field of industry, trade, medicine, law, art, education and the media who meet on regular basis and act in the direction of promoting the Rotary spirit in this region. President of RK Veles is Miroslav Meskov.

Last year RC Veles was quite active. During the New Year and Christmas holidays the Club gave presents to the children from the special school "Maca Ovcarova" from Veles and the children who are sent for healing at the children ward in the Town Medical Centre. It also organized help in old clothes and food for the special hospital in Demir Kapija. They gave two computers to two brothers with cerebral paralyses from Veles, and the club was the donor of the Single Mother's Association. The Rotary Club took care of the forestation of the locality "Sveti Ilija" provided help in construction material for building the monastery which bears the same name. In this year and next year's agenda of the RC Veles, when the Rotarians celebrate their hundredth anniversary, there are humanitarian concerts and donor exhibitions, scholarships for young and talented pupils and students, actions for protection of the environment and actions for fight against drugs, actions for increasing the libraries' fund in the primary schools, humanitarian help for the handicapped children and children without parents, help for the hospitals in medical equipment and medicines, etc.
