Welcomed KK Tse (the guest of President Peter),
Angela Chan (guest of PP Ronald),
Marguerite
Lee (guest of David) and Jason Chan - the President
of Rotary Club of the Peak.
The 44th
Annual Conference will be held on 15th-16th
November. The board decided to subsidy HK$400
(included one make-up) to Rotarian for the banquet
on 15th November so that each Rotarian only has to
pay HK$400. In fact, even without the subsidy, the
conference is very worthwhile for you to if you are
interested to become our officers next year.
Sandy
Bay Fair will be held on 1st November (this
Saturday), please help and sign up if you have time
to give us a hand for the fair. We would also like
to thank IPP Bernie for his donation of toys and Rtn
Michael for his donation of candles for the fair.
The
top ten Rotarian sellers will have the chance of the
lucky draw, in which the prize is a round-trip
ticket to Europe. So, hope all of the Rotarians
work hard on selling the Club 888 tickets. If any
members are in need of the application forms for the
Club 888, please feel free to contact Grace
(Secretary of Bernie Ting) in arranging the
delivery. Please send the application forms now!
The
Osaka Conference will be held on 23rd-26th May 2004
in Osaka, Japan. The registration form and details
of the conference are available on the web site of
Rotary International.
Rtn
Suzanne talked about the project - Save our
Shoreline. They just had a meeting with the
Transport Department to discuss the project. And we
will print 5000 brochures to distribute among the
housing estates.
Our speaker today was originally Dr. Shawn Wang but
he was unable to be back to HK today. Luckily,
David successfully invited our guest
Marguerite Lee to be
the speaker of today. Marguerite had visited China
with David, looking into our Leprosy Project. David
said that we have finally got an agreement with the
Health Department. The Centre is fantastic: it has
a gate, high-quality wall and roof, and the
construction work is within budget and efficient.
Marguerite said she,
together with Rtn David and PP Nick, visited a
village with leprosy patients. She found out that
the patients are hopeless, receiving insufficient
support from the government. So she decided to
contribute herself to the project so as to help
them. And she had visited the school and house of
the villagers, finding that they have no electricity
and water supply. They live with the their
livestock such that the hygienic condition is very
bad and it is breeding ground for diseases. So,
Marguerite wants to set up a school to educate the
children in such a way that may improve their living
standards. The officer of the village agreed to set
up a school and had suggested the site. Perhaps we
can also do some surgeries for the patient at the
same site.
