Woo (1940-41) and Tseung Fat-Im (1947-48). These individuals also served as Rotary International officers.

It became a Priory in 2015, expanding its charitable and medical roles. Leaders such as Kenneth Fung, Kwok Chan, John Louis Marden, and George Choa made significant contributions spanning medicine, education, environmental initiatives, philanthropy, and support for Vietnamese refugees. Their combined leadership strengthened the ties between Rotary service and Hong Kong’s health and social development throughout the 20th century.
