Fellow
Rotarians and Visitors,
Welcome
to the new Rotary Year 2001-02.
R.I.
President Rick D. King asks every Rotarian to focus
on four main issues in the Rotary year 2001-02.
1.
To increase membership and to form new clubs.
2.
To choose new Community Service Projects
3.
To choose new International Service Projects
4.
To enhance the public image of Rotary.
A
good public image for Rotary is important. This will
let the public know what Rotary is all about. To counter
the view ( of some members of the public ) that Rotary
is a group of rich people meeting together once a week
for fun, it is important to let the public know that
in addition to FELLOWSHIP, SERVICE is an equally important
aspect in Rotary. When people know more about Rotary,
they will be more willing to join Rotary, thus increasing
its membership. New members will ensure the future of
Rotary because they bring fresh ideas and add energy
to the organisation, which will then be able to offer
more and better service to our community and to communities
in other parts of the world. R.I. President Richard
King says it is our business to help those whose lives
are afflicted by poverty, disease, ignorance and natural
disaster, as well as those who simply need a little
assistance to put their lives back on track. We should
also reach out to business and professional leaders
who want to use their talents and skills to help others
because "MANKIND IS OUR BUSINESS."
I
always remember the Rotary Mottos: "Service Above Self"
and "He Profits Most Who Serves Best". With my fellow
Rotarian's confidence vested in me and continued support
extended to me, I will be able to perform my duty as
your governor to the best of my ability. My Regal presidents
and district officers, I am looking forward to working
with you for a fruitful and harmonious year 2001-2002
for our district.
Immediate
Past District Governor John Wan has done a tremendous
job for the district. He has taught me a lot and promised
to give me full support during my term of office. I
am grateful to him and wish him all the best.
