國際扶輪社三四五地區第二十五屆年會
國際扶輪社三四五地區第二十五屆年會 — 銀禧之夜 林華新總監 (臺北東區扶輪社) The 25th Annual Conference of District 345 Rotary International—Silver Jubilee Ricardo Lin, Rotary International District 345 Governor 1984-1985 時間：民國七十四年（1985年）三月二十一日至二十三日 地點：陽明山中山樓 / 臺北圓山大飯店 參加人數：香港/澳門188人、日本 36人、臺灣北部地區 1,178人，合計1,402人（不含眷屬） 平均會議出席人數：80%以上 天氣：春寒料峭、陰雨綿綿 氣溫：攝氏 12～15度 第二十五屆年會盛況打破多年來的紀錄，有照片及錄影帶為證。在往後的年會能超越其盛況 者鳳毛麟角。但成就這場盛事幕後所付出的辛勞，非筆墨足以形容。尤其是社友們的鼎力相助， 眾志成城，更使我感佩萬分，至今難忘。 年會的考驗 總監任內另一重頭戲就是籌辦年會。公式訪問結束後，待我查詢年會之事，籌備會已開過三 次會議，主委和秘書才告知將面臨的難題，尚待解決者主要有下列事項： （一）要求面目一新，異於往年。往年年會地點，都是選在來來飯店(Sheraton Hotel)。現今 開會日期決定權又不在扶輪社，卻屬於開會場地的主管經理，且距離年會日期剩下不到半年。 （二）無法確定人數、無法做預算、無法訂定收費額，又期待不超過去年的收費，真可說是 「巧婦難為無米之炊」。 （三）晚會康樂節目委託演藝界高層人士安排，開出來的價碼是 60萬元(新臺幣)。有一個半小 時的歌舞表演，內容能否接受？但各社自動參與表演的節目全部要取消，頗費口舌。 （四）陽明山中山樓已答應租用一天，但一千多位社友的交通問題要如何解決？停車位只有一 百個，平均十位社友才有一個停車位。 （五）港澳社友來臺開會，增加許多交通費用，是否要調整收費？ 2 籌委會委員均是社會上的企業精英，一流的管理人才。三次共約五個小時會議，剩下來的有 這五個待決大懸案。 有句格言：「成功不是坐電梯直上，而是一步一步踏階梯往上爬。」…
