Article contributed by President Francis Chan of Rotary Club of New Territories and President Felix Chan of Rotary Club of the Peak
Rotary Club of New Territories and the Pok Oi Hospital launched the “Rotary and Pok Oi Partnership” in community care projects in 2017 with the support and promotion of the Past President Danny Chow and Joseph Yim of Rotary Club of New Territories. The goal of the partnership is serving and caring for the elderly. Past President Danny Chow is also the Vice-chairman of Pok Oi Hospital.
This year, Rotary Club of New Territories co-organised the community care project with Rotary Club of the Peak. President Francis Chan of Rotary Club of New Territories and President Felix Chan of Rotary Club of the Peak, respectively led their club members to a community centre of Pok Oi Hospital and personally packed and distributed 200 lucky bags to the elderly in the New Territories. On the day of the event, Chairman of Pok Oi Hospital, Mrs. KAN CHAN Kit Har, Josephine, O.St.J., personally led a group of volunteers from Pok Oi Hospital to support and serve at the community centre.
Rotary Club of New Territories was chartered in 1969. It was the first Rotary Club focusing community services in the New Territories. It coincided with this year that President Felix Chan of Rotary Club of the Peak is an indigenous inhabitant of the New Territories and his family member was one of the founders of Rotary Club of New Territories. This event has not only united the close cooperation between Rotary Club of New Territories and Rotary Club of the Peak, but also embodies the inheritance of the Rotary International motto “Service Above Self”.

新界扶輪社及太平山扶輪社聯合博愛醫院 新春派發福袋送暖行動

「博愛扶輪友同行」社區關愛計劃 – 「新春耆樂融融」福袋派發
新界扶輪社與博愛醫院於2017年在新界扶輪社周駿達前社長及嚴偉豪前社長支持及推動下開展了「博愛扶輪友同行」社區關愛計劃，以服務及關懷長者為計劃目標。周駿達前社長同時為博愛醫院副主席。
今年，新界扶輪社更聯同太平山扶輪社一起參與計劃，並於疫情稍穩期間由新界扶輪社社長陳志雄及太平山扶輪社社長陳安立分別帶領各自的社友一起到博愛醫院的社區中心親自包裝及派發200個福袋予新界區的長者。活動當日更得到博愛醫院主席簡陳擷霞女士親自帶領一眾博愛醫院的義工到場支持服務。
新界扶輪社創社於1969年，是第一個以服務新界為基礎的扶輪社，適逢今年太平山扶輪社社長陳安立是新界原居民，其家人更是新界扶輪社的創社骨幹成員，這次活動除了凝聚新界扶輪社與太平山扶輪社的緊密合作，同時也體現了扶輪“超我服務”精神的傳承。
