I am so grateful that we are here in the final month of this Rotary Year. It is a memorable year for all of us. Despite the difficulties and challenging circumstances, all District Team members and committees performed and served the District with full strength and passion. All club Presidents lead their clubs with flying colours to serve the community.

We have made many things that seemed impossible, possible despite the uncertainties. All of us have the same goal: Together, we serve D3450 and our community.

We engaged our Future Leaders and we plan for several years. We prepare for the future and create a long term strategic plan for our District. We nurture our young leaders and we welcome more to join us to serve our District.

We have invited our Rotaract leaders to join District Committees and various events. We engage them at an earlier stage. We listen to their opinions and make decisions together. This year we had a District Conference together our Rotaract. It was an ideal and nice occasion for us to mingle and get to know more of our new generation.

Interota 2020 was successfully held with 1800 registrants from 91 countries. An enormous amount of effort was put into this service marathon having 150 volunteers, performing 13 community services partnering with 9 NGOs and accumulated a total of 439 hours of services together.

Rotary International D3450 District Conference

This year’s theme of our Conference was Health, Peace and Support Environment.

Thanks to the Dean of Medical Faculty of CUHK; Prof. Francis Chan, SBS, JP, in being our Guest of Honour to share about The Future Development of Health Professionals in Hong Kong & The Greater Bay Area.

Despite the pandemic, D3450 achieved a lot and have been very active. I am proud to announce the net membership growth is 140 with 3 new clubs, one satellite club formed, 9 new Rotaract Clubs and 11 new Interact Clubs chartered. We expanded our reach to primary schools program and there will be Junioract Clubs specially for Primary School students.

There are many more achievements and most important of all, we care about the experience of our Rotarian, Rotaractor and beneficiaries.

Together, we take action, to create lasting change across the globe, in our community and in ourselves.

The breakout sessions were welcomed by all, we exchanged ideas about Peace, Health, Environment, Youth and Memberships.

Presidents Performance (pre-recordings) was shown at District Governor Dinner. We celebrated the 90th Year of Rotary service in Hong Kong. We had good fellowship with all Rotarian.

D3450 #Rotary #Rotaract District Conference

DRR Alan Yip gave an excellent report of what our Rotaract have achieved. District Rotaract Service Project served the visually impaired with 4 stages. They also composed a very nice song about visually impaired people and sang together with the visually impaired.

This year, Rotaractor Leaders were invited to join Rotary District Committees. Rotaract Leaders are able to have a better understanding of Rotary and Rotarians can learn innovative ideas from our Rotaract. Thank you DRR Alan and your team for a fabulous year to serve!

This year we have 19 new 100% Paul Harris Fellow Clubs, 527 Paul Harris Fellows, 14 New Benefactors, 87 EREY Clubs and we contributed US 88,143 to EndPolio.

我很感恩與各人同行至本扶輪年度的最後一個月。這是我們所有人值得紀念的一年,儘管面臨困難和挑戰,所有地區團隊成員和委員們都全力以赴去服務,而各社長亦表現出色,帶領他們社員為社區服務。

儘管存在不確定性,但我們仍使許多事情變成有可能,而我們所有人都有一個共同的目標:我們一起為國際扶輪3450 區和我們的社區服務。

我們結連侯任的地區領袖,一起計劃將來,為我們的地區製定了長期戰略規劃。另外,我們定意培養年輕領袖,歡迎更多年輕人加入地區服務。

我們已邀請扶青社領袖加入本區領導委員會和各種活動,我們希望盡早與他們進行接觸,聽取他們的意見並共同做出決定。今年我們與扶青社一起舉辦了地區會議,這將是我們與新一代交流的好機會。

Interota 2020 已成功舉行,超過來自 91 個國家的 1800 名參加者,另外有150 名志願者參加服務馬拉松,與 9 個非政府組織合作進行了 13 項社區服務,服務時數為439 小時。

儘管新冠疫情大流行,3450地區還是取得了很多成就:會員人數增加140 人、成立了新社3 個、衛星社 1 個、扶青社 9 個和 扶少社 11 個。另外,我們將擴展扶輪社務至小學,很快將有專門為小學生開設的 Junioract 社出現。

除了成就,更重要的是我們關心我們的扶輪社、扶青社和受益人的經歷。

我們一起採取行動,在全球、社區和我們自身上創造及帶來持久的變化。
