Snapshot: RAC Port Klang Centennial installation: Retro Rewind 70s

By IPP Hui Hui

July and Aug 2008 is month filled with club installation events across Rotaract and Rotary clubs.

Let’s feature our first rotaract club installation for new term in the district – our club.

With that awareness in advance, RAC Port Klang 'broke' the record by having the 4th year installation on May 31st 2008 for installation of President Jia Thiam and incoming board of directors.

Installation venue was near the vicinity of most members home, Red Oven Café Taman Chi Liung Klang.

The installation theme is retro rewind 70s, black and red team.

The incoming board members went to Sri Hartamas to search for 70s theme costumes and afro hair wig.

Our new term club service director, OC Rtr Gun Chin Yong had pulled this together in a short span of time.

Lots of hard work from the organizing committee was put in at last hour. Main task was to hang the black and red satin drapes materials. For the goodie bags, we had generous sponsorship from resourceful Rtr Leong King and OC.

At venue entrance, we brought few freshly chopped bamboo trees were tied at the main entrance and hanged red and black strips of cloth.

This year, we had welcome drink for each guest - a shot glass containing sakae and chillies.

The highlight of the event was raffles draw event to raise fund for China earthquake disaster fund and Myanmmar cyclone disaster fund.

The fund raising event was a success, thanks to the efforts of club members providing and sponsoring attractive raffles draw prize. Main prize was a 3D 2N stay at any Berjaya Hotel Resort.

Winner was DRR Leik Hong himself who ‘sapu’ the prize despite he bought the raffles draw tickets and last minute.

We had privilege of inviting PP Cheah Li Yen as guest of honour for the event again. About 10 Rotarian members and spouses attended and they did have their chance of fellowship

This time we had visitors from Penang, DRR Leik Hong and his team of members came all the way to Klang.

We had guests from other Rotaract clubs, RAC Gombak, RAC Subang, RAC Pudu, RAC KL and new club in the block RAC Klang members.

Time flies as I gave my outgoing speech as President and hand over the baton to President Jia Thiam. I trust that he will do a great job of leading the team.

His first liner of speech was ‘I had never being a president of any club before’.

Our newly installated community service director, Nanthini was given a surprise birthday cake present.

Thank you to members who had put in the hard work and the patience of attending countless installation organisining committee meeting.

And not forgetting… our bubbly club service director for his leadership.

Happy Rotaracting!

Service Unite Us and Let’s Make dreams real.

Next: Stayed tune for photos of other RAC club installation.

President Johnson Wey’s Message

Future Begins From The Youth’s Dreams

My dear fellow Rotarians and Rotary Friends,

Last Saturday (5/7/08) at SMK Dato’ Hamzah, we organized the Interact Leadership Training Seminar 2008 and 8th Interact Joint Installation for Presidents & Boards Members of Interact Clubs from SMK Dato’ Hamzah, Raja Lumu, Pandamaran Jaya, Kwang Hua and Pulau Ketam.

The seminar was to provide soft skill training to Interactors to prepare them on how to make their dreams real (Menyatakan Impian). This is in line with our believe that training the youth to serve others and to achieve their dream is important.

Interact being a Rotary-sponsored youth service club established since 1962 in Melbourne, Florida, USA, provides opportunities for young people of secondary school age to work together in a world fellowship of service and international understanding.

Today, there are more than 11,000 Interact clubs with more than 258,000 Interactors worldwide. In our Rotary District 3300, 165 Interact clubs with more than 16,000 Interactors, develop skills in leadership and attain practical experience in conducting service projects, thereby learning the satisfaction that comes from serving others.

RI President D.K. Lee encourages Interact Clubs to undertake worthy service activities in their community. Interact clubs are encouraged to complete in any four activities from the following categories: Membership, Club Service, Community Service, Vocational Service and International Understanding.

The Ministry of Education (School Division) welcomes Rotary to promote Interact activities in schools to ensure such curriculum activities bring optimum development which can benefit the students.

Yours in Rotary Service,

Johnson Wey
President RY2008/2009
Rotary Club of Port Klang
