Now that 2001 is behind us and half of the Rotary year has passed, we are faced with less than six months to the end of the Rotary year. After the festivities and celebrations of the Christmas and New Year season, we have probably returned to our usual mode. Have we for a minute thought of whether we have made any efforts in our own Rotary Clubs this year? Are we enjoying the fellowship which has been handed over to us the day we got pinned with the Rotary logo pin?

In the early part of January, the Presidents-elect will be meeting and getting to know each others and the Assistant Governors of their Club Areas at the first part of the PETS (Presidents Elect Training Seminar). These elected and appointed experienced Rotarians will be putting in their own time to serve Rotary in a voluntary capacity, after one and a half days' training. Together with other elected leaders in their clubs, who also will go through a day's training at the District Assembly, they will, like their predecessors, rotate leadership and responsibilities to serve the needy in their own communities and other countries', raise their own standard of professionalism and expertise and foster international understanding.
Are you still aware of all these in this month of "Rotary Awareness Month"?

Do enjoy Rotary!!

Your Governor-elect,
Gloria Chan
