Kumasi, Oct. 16, GNA - The Rotary Club of Kumasi and Kumasi East Club on Friday organised a mini ball in the metropolis, to usher into office new presidents and directors of the charity organisation.

Mr Abraham Appiah-Fei, President of Kumasi East, said the club provides members the opportunity to improve the well-being of the people.

"We travel and with other Rotarians, we have the privilege of working together, participate in programmes that expand our horizons, we enjoy fellowship that is generously and freely-given".
