PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

OO ne morning, when I was driving to attend a sales meeting, I came to a fork

road. At that moment I decided to answer a phone call that resulted in my taking a wrong turn. The consequence of taking that wrong turn was to cost me an extra RM 6 in toll charges and an extra 30 minutes to reach my destination. This is like my journey through life. The road of life is big with lots of signs and temptations. Even if you do not know where you are going, any road will eventually get you to a destination. But you may never know how long or how far the road will lead you. It may even be just around the corner. However if you know where you are headed to in your journey it will be the result of self-confidence, hard work, courage and perseverance. Setbacks can slow one along the way. There will be distractions, even fear and doubts. If you do overcome these obstacles and succeed there can be no greater joy than being able to achieve one’s dream at the end. Life is not always perfect. There will be ups & downs, twists & turns, bends and stumbling blocks. But if you enjoy every moment of your journey you will likely find your destination and the beauty in it. I have always shared my life experiences and challenges with my children. My Rotary journey is one of my great dream. When I am on the Rotary road I simplify my thoughts and do

my best to try to put my vision into reality. And it’s good to know I have members who are there to help me

realize my dream.

―ROTARY SERVING HUMANITY‖

Sandy Soh Kwee Tin President RY 2016-17

TT here is an old Chinese tale about a woman whose only son died. In

her grief, she went to the holy man and asked, "What prayers, what magical incantations do you have to bring my son back to life?" Instead of sending her away or reasoning with her, he said to her, "Fetch me a mustard seed from a home that has never known sorrow. We will use it to drive the sorrow out of your life." The woman went off at once in search of that magical mustard seed. She came first to a splendid mansion, knocked at the door, and said, "I am looking for a home that has never known sorrow. Is there such a place? It is very important to me." They told her, "You've certainly come to the wrong place," and began to describe all the tragic things that recently had befallen them. The woman said to herself, "Who is better able to help these poor, unfortunate people than I, who have had misfortune of my own?" She stayed to comfort them and then went on in search of a home that had never known sorrow. But wherever she turned and in many other places, she found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune. The woman became so involved in helping others cope

with their sorrows that she eventually let go of her own. She would later come to understand that it was

her quest to find the magical mustard seed and eventually helping others that drove away her

suffering.

Warmest Regards PAG Mike Tung

DISTRICT NEWS



ROTARY INTERNATIONAL NEWS

RI President's Message - August 2016 Forty years ago, a man named George Campbell, the owner of the company I worked for, invited me to join Rotary. Back then, that was a common practice in the United States. Your boss invited you to join Rotary because he thought it would be good for business and good for the community, and you said yes. It’s not surprising that our membership surged during that period. George warned me not to use Rotary as an excuse to slack off at work. Even so, I always had time to attend lunch meetings and serve on committees. I never had to worry that taking a long lunch once a week would hurt my advancement, or what my boss would think about the occasional Rotary phone call at work. Today, things are different. Companies are less generous about time, and not every manager looks favorably on community service. It’s hard to enjoy a Rotary meeting when you’ve got emails piling up on your phone. It’s harder than ever to balance work with Rotary – and the model that gave us so much growth a few decades ago is part of what’s holding back our growth now. That’s why the recent Council on Legislation adopted some innovative measures that allow clubs to vary their meeting times and expand their pool of prospective members. Clubs have more flexibility now to respond to the needs of their members and to clear away as many barriers to membership as they can. But there’s one barrier to membership that only you can remove, one thing that every prospective member needs to become a Rotarian: an invitation to join a Rotary club. Whenever I tell a group of Rotarians that we need more willing hands, more caring hearts, and more bright minds to move our work forward, everyone applauds. But those hands, hearts, and minds won’t magically appear in our clubs. We have to ask them to join. And an invitation to Rotary is something that only you can give. An invitation is a gift. It’s saying to someone, ―I think you have the skills, the talent, and the character to make our community better, and I want you to join me in doing that.‖ I’m the president of Rotary International, but the only club I can invite someone to join is the Rotary Club of Chattanooga, Tenn. I can’t make your club or your community stronger. Only you can do that – by inviting the qualified people you know to join you in Rotary Serving Humanity. John F. Germ President, 2016-17 Source: Rotary International



ROTARY INTERNATIONAL NEWS

Trustee Chair's Message - August 2016 More members mean a stronger Foundation Our Rotary Foundation depends on a strong and thriving Rotary membership. It is, after all, our members who provide the generous support that enables our Foundation to tackle some of the world’s most pressing problems. As important as that support is, it’s not the only contribution Rotarians make to our Foundation. The Rotary Foundation has an unusual business model. Like many charities, we receive donations that we use to address a host of critical issues. Unlike most other nonprofit organizations, we depend on our members to develop relevant and effective service projects. Your volunteer labor stretches our contribution dollars and helps The Rotary Foundation to do much more with less. The typical global grant requires hours of planning and budgeting before even one dollar is received or spent. Then the sponsors must purchase supplies, seek donated goods, set up bank accounts, organize volunteers, write reports, and monitor the project’s progress, all while working with Rotarians in another part of the world. Fortunately, our clubs have a wide variety of professional skills and talents to call upon throughout this process. Smaller clubs may not have the financial or human resources to sponsor a global grant, even if their members share a strong commitment to the Foundation’s mission. Imagine what those clubs could accomplish with two or three times as many members. As we celebrate Membership and New Club Development Month in August, let’s not forget the importance of quickly engaging new members in Rotary service. Make sure they know about the many opportunities our Foundation offers members to pursue their service interests, from promoting better health to providing training and education to bringing peace and stability to communities in need. Through The Rotary Foundation, our members have a chance to use their skills to make a real difference. First, we need to bring those talented people into our ranks and engage them in our Foundation’s vital work to create a better world. And only we, the Rotarians, can bring in those new members. So it is up to us, really, isn’t it? Kalyan Banerjee Trustee Chair, 2016 - 17 Source: Rotary Internationa
