Fellow Rotarians and Visitors,

Welcome to the new Rotary Year 2001-02.

R.I. President Rick D. King asks every Rotarian to focus on four main issues in the Rotary year 2001-02.

To increase membership and to form new clubs.
To choose new Community Service Projects
To choose new International Service Projects
To enhance the public image of Rotary.

A good public image for Rotary is important. This will let the public know what Rotary is all about. To counter the view ( of some members of the public ) that Rotary is a group of rich people meeting together once a week for fun, it is important to let the public know that in addition to FELLOWSHIP, SERVICE is an equally important aspect in Rotary. When people know more about Rotary, they will be more willing to join Rotary, thus increasing its membership. New members will ensure the future of Rotary because they bring fresh ideas and add energy to the organisation, which will then be able to offer more and better service to our community and to communities in other parts of the world.

R.I. President Richard King says it is our business to help those whose lives are afflicted by poverty, disease, ignorance and natural disaster, as well as those who simply need a little assistance to put their lives back on track. We should also reach out to business and professional leaders who want to use their talents and skills to help others because “MANKIND IS OUR BUSINESS.”

I always remember the Rotary Mottos: “Service Above Self” and “He Profits Most Who Serves Best”. With my fellow Rotarian’s confidence vested in me and continued support extended to me, I will be able to perform my duty as your governor to the best of my ability. My Regal presidents and district officers, I am looking forward to working with you for a fruitful and harmonious year 2001-2002 for our district.

Immediate Past District Governor John Wan has done a tremendous job for the district. He has taught me a lot and promised to give me full support during my term of office. I am grateful to him and wish him all the best.

I have set out the following district goals basing on R.I. President’s guidelines:
