A month has gone by and as I am settling down into my Presidency, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the previous Board members for their guidance and support, advice and suggestions for the year ahead.
With a view to acknowledging the work done by Past Presidents and also to gain an insight to the membership and activities carried out at our great Club since inception, I have decided to start a section ‘Trip down memory lane’ in my Presentations. My heartfelt thanks to CP Chandru for his assistance in this.
We have our very own AG Vishal as Guest Speaker on the 14th to talk about Membership and other matters which I am sure will be very motivating.
On 28th August we will have our Dinner cum Fellowship meeting at the KCC. The last dinner meeting was well received and I look forward to many of you attending with spouses.
On 31st August we also have our flagship project, ‘Feeding the Elderly at Kwai Chung’ where we will serve wholesome hot meals to 120 senior persons at YMCA Kwai Chung. I invite members to attend this very worthwhile
In closing, I urge all members to be humble, polite and kind to others always.
Be nice to people on your way up because you might meet them back again on your way back down

As an international organization, Rotary offers each member unique opportunities and responsibilities, although each Rotarian has first responsibility to uphold the obligations of citizenship of his or her own country. Membership in Rotary enables Rotarians to take a somewhat unique view of international affairs. In the early 1950s a Rotary philosophy was adopted to describe how a Rotarian may think on a global basis. Here is what it said: “A world-minded Rotarian looks beyond national patriotism and considers himself as sharing responsibility for the advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace; resists any tendency to act in terms of national or racial superiority; seeks and develops common grounds for agreement with peoples of other lands; defends the rule of law and order to preserve the liberty of the individual so that he may enjoy freedom of thought, speech and assembly, and freedom from persecution, aggression, want and fear; supports action directed toward improving standards of living for all peoples, realizing that poverty anywhere endangers prosperity everywhere; upholds the principles of justice for mankind; strives always to promote peace between nations and prepares to make personal sacrifices for that ideal; urges and practices a spirit of understanding of every other man’s beliefs as a step toward international goodwill, recognizing that there are certain basic moral and spiritual standards which will ensure a richer, fuller life.” That is quite an assignment for any Rotarian to practice in thoughts and actions!
