DATELINE:RI
PAYING IT FORWARD THROUGH ROTARACT
By Shannon Chow, Rotaract Club of Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I first joined Rotaract when I was studying at Taylor’s University in Malaysia, and have now been in my club for close to eight years. Rotaract is a great platform to learn, practice, and exhibit leadership skills, and to be mentored by Rotarians and other Rotaractors. In addition to the professional development I have experienced, I have built so many friendships, including my best friend (now boyfriend) of seven years.
Rotaract has opened up many doors in my life. Before I joined, I was very shy and speaking to strangers was always a challenge for me. But during my years in Rotaract, I had many opportunities to talk with Rotarians at conferences, speak with top-level management about sponsoring club projects, and recently delivered a speech at our installation dinner.
I am blessed to have a group of extremely nice Rotarians and Rotaractors who guide me, teach me how to lead, deal with conflicts, and serve my community. What I learn from them, I apply in my daily life. The experience led me to become a dual member of both Rotaract and Rotary, where I am seeking even greater opportunities in networking and international exposure in the Rotary Family.

SMILE
In honor of limerick day
A certain young fellow named Bee-Bee
Wished to wed a woman named Phoebe.
"But," he said, "I must see
What the clerical fee
Be before Phoebe be Phoebe Bee-Bee
Here's to the chigger,
The bug that's no bigger
Than the point of an undersized pin;
But the welt that he raises
Sure itches like blazes,
And that's where the rub comes in!
A canny young fisher named Fisher
Once fished from the edge of a fissure.
A fish with a grin
Pulled the fisherman in ---
Now they're fishing the fissure for Fisher.
The bottle of perfume that Willie sent
Was highly displeasing to Millicent;
Her thanks were so cold
They quarreled, I'm told,
Through that silly scent Willie sent Millicent.
