Rotary Club of Kyrenia Liman
Talk by US Ambassador John Koenig
By Margaret Sheard….
We were delighted to be invited by the Rotary Club of Kyrenia Liman to a dinner at The Colony Hotel in Girne where the guest of honour was the US Ambassador, John Koenig who spoke to the guests and members of the clubs attending after a very enjoyable meal and gave a very interesting talk, followed by a question time from the guests, which were very thought provoking. Ambassador Koenig and his family have had a long association with Cyprus and many happy memories of visits when the children were young and he will certainly be missed by many people when he returns to the USA.
We are including below a statement by Rotary Club of Kyrenia Liman and thank them for this and the photographs which were taken at the event.
