Hello all Rotarians!
It is indeed my unique honor to be your District Governor and to serve all Rotarians and the youths in Rotary, namely the Rotaractors and Interactors in the Rotary Year 2018-19.
RI President Barry Rassin has adopted “BE THE INSPIRATION” to be our Year Strategic Logo. He calls upon us firstly to Be The Inspiration before we can inspire others for the Rotary Values. Hence, we have the mission to be THE WALKING EXAMPLES illustrating the 5 Core Values and the 4 Objects of Rotary.
And RI President Barry Rassin also emphasizes, we must work harder than ever before we can inspire our ROTARACTORS to be our VITAL FORCE in the World of Rotary. This, brings our Youth Service to a high platform with the great mission to transform our Rotaractors into Rotarians beyond the usual practices.
This year the RI three Strategic Goals are the same as in last year and also the year before last, with essential adjustments under each category. From this, the RI message to us is that we have to :
- Sharpen these three strategic focus ;
- Streamline our District revenues to sustain them ; and
- Uphold them without distraction every year.
We hope by the above, our District and Rotary, finally after yearly endeavours will succeed in bringing : –
- A sustained and substantial membership growth ;
- Branding of Rotary is succeeded in our community ;
- More good can be done to make our community a better place to live by the Humanitarian
Services through our Rotary Clubs.
Conforming with RI, we put the lead of our District Strategic Planning Committee (DSPC) in the hands of the Central Steering Core comprising of Immediate Past Governor, District Governor, Governor Elect, Governor Nominee, and Governor Nominee Designate once elected who together are assisted by their respective selected senior Rotarians in the Committee.
This formation provides that the future planning of our District is steered in the hands of immediate past, current and future leaders for wide perspectives, innovation, sustainability, and adaptability to our ever changing community around us.
I must thank all of our District Officers, including all of the District Advisors, District Leaders, Assistant Governors Team, District Secretarial Team, District Committees Team, and also all the Club Presidents and Club Leaders together with our supporting staffs in RIC, because we are ALL IN ONE in front of the need to succeed our RI Yearly Strategic Goals.
Final but not the least, we are endeavouring not just for this Rotary Year. As in any past years, we CONNECT, WITH FUTURE that our endeavors are only laying another concrete foundation to our successors in the next and many many next years of our Rotary District.
Thank you once again for all who have dedicated their precious time, minds, and monies in exhibiting Rotary, in being THE WALKING EXAMPLES OF ROTARY to BE THE INSPIRATION.
Best Regards from My Heart,
Dr HO, Yu Cheung

2018-19 地區總監提言
各位親愛的扶輪社友：
能夠成為扶輪地區總監、在扶輪2018-19年度，服務所有社友，扶青及扶少團員，是我畢生獨有的榮耀。
國際扶輪社長拉辛Barry Rassin 提倡「成為勵志領導者」作為年度目標。他呼籲我們先成為勵志領導者，才能感染我們週邊的人們，以實踐扶輪的價值。所以，我們秉持了這個心志，用自己實踐扶輪的例子，以彰顯扶輪的五大核心價值及四大宗旨。
同時，國際扶輪社長亦強調，我們須要比以往付出更大的努力，務求使扶輪青年服務團團員成為秉持扶輪的重要動力。他的呼籲，使地區青年服務在慣常的基礎上，走向以實踐使扶青成為扶輪社社員的高台階。
今年，國際扶輪給予地區三大策略目標，而這三大目標，同往年大同小異。這方面，國際扶輪給我們的訊息是我們必須：
- 每年堅實地秉持這三大策略目標；
- & 3. 運用地區資源以持續地專注地每年都貫徹始終。
誠然，我們希望經多年努力後，為地區及扶輪，我們能實現：-
- 一個持續及大量的社員増長；
- 在社區中為扶輪確立品牌；
- 更好地通過各社的人道計劃，使社會成為更美好的居住社區。
我們亦跟隨國際扶輪，把地區策略計劃委員會的實踐，置於以剛卸任總監，當屆總監，總監當選人，總監提名人，總監指定提名人為主導中心的領導下，集合了上述領導所挑選的資深社友協助下，推展地區策略計劃工作。
這個組成方法，使地區未來策略計劃，掌握在剛卸任、現任和未來總監手中, 冀有創意地，持續性地，以適應我們週遭不斷變化的社會。
我必須要感謝所有地區顧問，地區各職員及領導，助理總監團隊成員，地區秘書們，各地區委員會委員及所有社長及社領導們，以及我們扶輪諮詢中心的所有職員，因為，我們大家都是一個團隊，共同為實現國際扶輪年度策略目標而努力不懈。
最後，我們今天的努力，並非只是為了一年一度的工作目標，我們的努力，正如以往年度一樣，都是與更遠大的未來接軌，為扶輪地區下年及無數的下年，奠下多一個堅實的基礎。
在此，再感恩地答謝所有為扶輪獻出寶貴的時間、心志、及捐獻，彰顯扶輪，活出扶輪的例子的社員，因為你們，為扶輪，成為勵志領導者！
衷心感謝每一位為扶輪奉獻的所有人。

2018-19地區總監
