a.
It is indeed a privilege, as the incoming president of the Rotary Club
of Tebrau 2011/2012, to be standing here
to extend a warm welcome to all of you for taking the time to attend our 23rd
Installation Dinner. Though Presidents
and Club Committees change every year,
the primary object of Rotary ,
which is to encourage and foster the ideal of service through
development of acquaintance, should not
change. It will continue to be the focus
for the year.
b.
Rotarians are found to be a kindred
spirit, who share a passion about giving
back to their communities. To couple
this with the common interest to enjoy Rotary through fellowship and
companionship, our aim will be to
promote the Club and increase our membership.
c.
The Rotary International theme for the
year is “Reach Within to Embrace Humanity”.
What we work to bring to others,
we must first find within ourselves because what we wish for ourselves
is what others wish for themselves as well.
In the year ahead, we will have three emphases in our Rotary
service: to strengthen our family, to
continue what we do best, and to change whatever needs to be changed.
We believe that our world can be
happier, healthier, and more peaceful.
d. During
my term in office as the 23rd President of the Rotary Club of
Tebrau, I would like to continue with our on-going projects namely the Orang
Asli Medical Camp, the Law Awareness Programme with the lawyers and to continue
with great fellowship with all Rotarians and their spouses.
e. A project
that is in the pipeline is a fund raising charity dance competition to raise
funds for our club.
f.
With the above in mind, I urge all the members of the Rotary Club of
Tebrau to join me in Enjoying Rotary and Sharing Rotary during the coming year
and beyond.
Ladies
& Gentlemen,
Tonight is a culmination
of
many days and nights of hard work and I would like to take this opportunity to
thank our OC PP Ganesh Kumar
and his organising committee for a job well done.
Chong Lee Lee
President (2011-2012)
