Ukraine Independence Day Celebration 24 August 2022
Rotary Clubs from Godalming, Guildford, Cranleigh and Haslemere came together to host a "Picnic in the Park" to help guests from Ukraine celebrate their independence day
On the afternoon of 24th August 2022, Rotary clubs from Godalming, Guildford, Cranleigh and Haslemere came together to organise a very enjoyable picnic to help our Ukrainian guests celebrate their Independence Day as best they could, despite being far from home. The event was a great success, attended by around 400 Ukrainians and their hosts from around the local area. The event was kicked off by Michael More-Molyneux, Lord-Lieutenant of Surrey, followed by a very moving Ukraine National Anthem and raising of the Ukrainian flag. After the formal proceedings, the guests enjoyed a celebratory picnic, and a variety of entertainment, including live music provided by The Music Works, Ukrainian music and dance, face painting, tattoo transfers and bouncy castles.
The event was a great example of Rotary making a difference in the local community. Many thanks to the many and various individuals who contributed their time and talents to making it so.
