Rotarian, and chief organizer/champion of the Open World Ukraine visit, Alvaro Pisoni, did an excellent job in coordinating the event and creating a memorable event for delegates and Rotarians alike.  Pictured below, St. Alvaro is an angel for all of his hard work and obvious dedication (looks like he may have been visiting the VS store during a shopping excursion and judging by the second photo, looks pretty wore out.  You go above and beyond Alvaro!).
