恭祝大家春節快樂！ 祝大家有如牛一般健康，並有美好的一年！

多虧了各位助理總監和首席地區秘書Ron 領導的地區秘書團隊的努力，我們的地區名錄終於準備就緒。 我們仍在研究網上目錄的解決方案，希望很快準備就緒推出。

這是人類與新冠肺炎鬥爭的關鍵時刻，我們大家都應該團結來，發掘互相幫助的方式。 同時，接種疫苗似乎是減輕這種情況的一種解決方案。 我們鼓勵所有社友和扶青多些了解更多關於各種疫苗的知識，並幫助教育公眾。

儘管新冠疫情仍在波動，我們鼓勵各社開展一些安全的項目，例如為我們的受助人提供必需品、在線研討會和培訓等等。 一月份各社舉行了許多例會，而且非常成功，除了題材有趣，又有知名演講者和許多社員參加入。 看來我們越來越擅長處理網上會議，我非常高興見到很多扶輪社員參與。

扶輪3450區利用District Designated Fund特別贊助了多個國際項目，一些分社也加入贊助。 我們亦被邀請成為4195區淨水項目的國際合作夥伴。

感謝公共形象委員會創建本區每月通訊，並感謝所有撰寫有關社訊和地區服務與活動等文章的人，希望所有會員和朋友多多分享這些通訊。

多虧了會員委員會，特別是智囊團，我們將與各地域社長和其他成員舉行座談會，題材如農曆新年聚會、健康、和平與保護環境等等進行座談。

地區年會籌備委員會正在努力為大家準備精彩的地區會議體驗，各位從現在起至2021年2月28日，可以早鳥報名。

2021年扶輪國際環球年會將以網上舉行。 欲了解更多信息，請訪問：https://convention.rotary.org

一般新加入扶輪少年團的第一步就是新成員入團培訓。2021年1月23日至24日我們在網上舉行了為期兩天的入團培訓活動，主題是“我是誰？ “，通過有趣和創新的遊戲和測驗，他們學到很多有關如何持續成長的知識。

感謝大家的支持，扶輪香港超級馬拉松大賽將在網上舉行，報名的截止日期是2021年1月31日。當天將會有不同的跑步團隊以在線嘉年節形式舉行，將有不同的扶輪分社進行表演和現場匯報。

「和平」是我們今年的“地區主題”之一，而二月份的主題就是“和平與解決衝突”。 扶輪社可以創造和平的環境，通過開展服務項目並支持和平研究金和獎學金，我們的社員就能採取行動以化解衝突的根本原因，例如：包括貧窮、歧視、族裔關係、缺乏教育機會和資源分配不均等等。
