“ RI PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE “

Let me borrow one small part of the message on RI President Shekhar Mehta’ message from the Rotary Magazine October 2021. “Do you ever think about your earliest days as a Rotarian? I often do—because those first moments of discovering the power of service shaped who I am today. When I joined my Rotary club, our efforts focused on India’s rural communities, where people were living without toilets, getting their drinking water from the same pond they bathed in, and sending their children to outdoor classrooms set up under a tree.  The nearest health care provider often was miles away— and the services were inadequate. But after Rotary clubs carried out some service projects, the villages had toilets, clean drinking water, a classroom for early learning, and a nearby health care center.” In Hong Kong, Macao and Mongolia, we were lucky that our cities were only a little bit better some seventy years ago. But community services of all kinds in our cities never stopped at any time good or bad. When the clubs have good community service projects, we often faced a common problem in shortage of helping hands from the clubs. We often asked our Rotarians bring with their family members, classmates of their children, friends and neighbors join force to serve our community services. And many times these volunteers just go home after the services finished although some of them expressed their interest to offer free service again to Rotary clubs if they are invited. Why not give these potential RCC members another opportunity to “Serve To Change Lives “ by establishing an RCC in your club?
