In late December, the Rotaract Club of Hong Kong Island East visited Chiang Mai and performed service projects with Breanna’s House of Joy Orphanage and at the Burma Children Medical Fund's B.K. Kee Patient House. Members of the Rotaract Club of Payap University (RCPYU) have been consultants to the visitors and participated in some of the activities.
January provided new opportunities for the club. We look forward to the new leadership/members as the club continues with its growth and development. Dayton Estes was named as the interim President as current President Dylan Low pursues a study abroad exchange program in Taiwan.
The club met on January 13th to welcome new CMIRC liaison Margaret O’Driscoll. Regretfully, Rotarian O’Driscoll advised that she could not accept the position at this time and Rotarian William Churchill will continue as the liaison until a new liaison is in place.
Club members Dayton Estes, Bow Arnprayoon and Amy Kim served as part of the volunteer team for Payap University's non-profit International Day festival event event on-campus on January 23rd.
A membership drive is in the development stages that will focus on first and second year students at Payap University.
