Bahrain, 14 Feb 2024: “A flower will not grow if the stem doesn’t support it; a house cannot be called house if there is no door to enter in; an association cannot function well if there is no strong executive committee’s support” – these were the wonderful opening words of the current President Rony Norbert Pinto in his Presidential address.

 

Bellevision Bahrain a well-known name on the island stepped into its 14th year of existence by inducting the new committee for 2024 on the evening of February 9th in an event organized at Carlton Hotel in Adliya. The event was well attended by the members and our beloved well-wishers.

 

The evergreen dynamic person Mr. Joel D’sa welcomed everyone to the event and Joyce D’souza and Reeva Pinto led the opening prayer, which was followed by the action song of hymns by Angela, Farrel, Ivanka, Nathan, Warren and Ronnel. Joel gave a short introduction of each Excom member and as a symbol of induction, pinned the badge on the President. Similarly, the other members were symbolically inducted by the President. The Excom members then lit the lamp and celebrated the happiness by cutting the cake.
