On 7th May, the Rotary Club of Kowloon Golden Mile held one of its signature events – the Vocational Service Awards Night - a celebration of integrity, dedication and service through one’s profession.
Vocational Service is at the heart of Rotary. It reminds us that our professions are powerful tools for doing good and that service above self doesn’t stop when we’re at work - it starts there.
Attendees included Police Commissioner, Deputy Regional Commanders of some Districts, Deputy Director Fire Services, CE of Princess Margaret hospital, CE and Cluster CE of RuttonJee and Tang Shiu Kin Hospital, Chief Manager HR of Hospital Authority, District Governor Nigel Wong, PDG David Harilela, Keith Chow, YC Ho, PP Nanu Lachman and other dignitaries who gathered to honour individuals who exemplify what it means to serve others not just outside of their work, but through their work. These are people who live Rotary’s values in their daily professional lives - upholding ethics, fostering teamwork and making a positive impact in their communities through their vocations.
Awards were presented to 68 deserving and dedicated professionals from Police Force, Fire Services dept, Immigration dept and Hospital Authority and the HK rescue team that assisted in recent Myanmar earthquake.
The Club is honoured and privileged to extend its heartfelt congratulations to the awardees. Your actions and accomplishments truly inspire not only us in Rotary but also the entire community in Hong Kong.
Starting as a small function with one Awardee in RY 2000, the concept of honouring the many unsung heroes in our community, those who go the extra mile to serve others humbly without seeking recognition despite the efforts they make and the risks they face, has rapidly grown into a highly anticipated and signature event of the club. To date, we have honoured over 550 outstanding heroes from the Police Force, Fire Services and Hospital Authority as a gesture of the community’s sincere appreciation for their efforts.
A truly memorable evening!
