Wrapping up Year 2007:Induction of three new members in RAC Port Klang Centennial

by President Hui Hui

Dear fellow rotaractors,

On 20th December 2007, we had three new members, Rotaractor Balram, Kishan and Shanta inducted to the family of Rotaract Club of Port Klang Centennial. Congratulations to the three of them. Their biodata will be posted in the club's blog soon.

Also we had three guests (Chin Loong, Leong King, Blitz Gan) who visited the club meeting yesterday.

Membership recruitment and development remains an important thing to Rotary and Rotaract. For members who had went AWOL, do make an effort to attend, participate and learn.

Also a big thank you to our three Rotarians, Rotarian PP Michael Tan (Rotarian Advisor), Rtn Michael Cheah (New Generations Director) and Rtn Patrick Ang (Honourary Secretary) for their time attending and witnessing the induction of the three new members. They are always there to support the club and members.

Not forgetting to all members who turned up at the meeting despite the rain and a public holiday.

Also during the meeting, Rotarian Patrick Ang spoke about financial planning and how to grow our wealth. It was an interesting talk to all members. I can see the audience was amazed and we can learn how to build the portfolio of wealth.

It was a priviledge to learnt from a experienced Rotarian and self made entreprenuer.

That was the last meeting of the year.

Next's year (next month, in fact) meeting will be January 3rd 2008 (Thursday). Speaker for the meeting will be Rotarian Johnson Wey. Stay tuned for more details.

We are suppose to have an AGM for election of new board of directors on January 3rd 2008.
But to the fact, the more time is needed for preparation and planning for the new exco, the AGM will be held in either first week of February 2008 (before CNY holidays).

Therefore, January 3rd will be the normal club meeting. Guests are welcomed.

January 17th 2008 meeting will be District Rotaract Representative DRR Dinesh visit to the club.

Members, please block your calender dates for January 3rd and January 17th 2008.

Year 2008 will be an exciting rotaract year as the club and also the rotaract district has line of activities in place:

........the District Rotaract Conference (DRC) 2008 Pangkor Island in January 25th - 27th 2008
........District 3300 Goodwill visit to Taipei Taiwan D3500- January 2008
........forthcoming IS (Yoga), Comm Service and Professional Development projects (Jan-Mac)
........Rotary medical outreach camp in Pulau Carey- March 2008
........Rotary, Rotaract, Interact (RRI) event in April 2008
........Club Assembly (May or June 2008).
........Interota 2008 (International Rotaract Conference - Seoul Korea-(Aug 2008)
........Asia Pacific Regional Rotaract Conference (APRRC 2008) - Bali, Indonesia (Nov 2008)

So, these are the reasons to join Rotaract and stay in Rotaract.

Wishing you all Merry Christmas, Happy New Year 2008 and happy holidays.

Yours in Rotaract

District Interact Conference - A Huge Success and A Big Thank You

Contributed by President Hui Hui

Dear fellow members,

Last weekend, the district Rotaractors gathered to help the Rotarians to manage and 'babysit' 609 Interactors in the District Interact conference in USM Penang. These interactors came from all over Malaysia.

I was there at the event with Jia Thiam as Group Discussion Leader (GDL) and Way Wen who was the co-organiser. We stayed for three days and two nights in USM hostel.

We chartered a bus together with 26 Interactors from 5 schools with Rotarian Michael Cheah, Rotarian Joy Leow and Rotarian John Low.

It was really fun being a GDL although we had the late nights 'supervising' the Interactors.

And the most important I do note that there is committed bond and cooperation shown by each rotaractor in the district. Differences are put aside to make the event a success.

Rtr Jia Thiam and Way Wen, a big thank you to both of you for your utmost dedication in Rotary organised district events. Keep up this current year Rotaract theme Serve With Sincerity.

I am proud to say, we successfully fulfilled on the DRR citation requirement - a joint project with interactors.

Members, do make an effort to participate in such events because this is what Rotaract is all about - having fun, fellowship and opportunity to serve.

A heads up to all members, Rotary Club of Port Klang will be the next DIC host club in term 2008/2009 under the leadership of current PE Johnson Wey and Rotaractor Way Wen. Do lend your utmost support to the organising committee.

To New Gen director Rotarian Michael, Rotarian John and Rotarian Joy, on behalf of Rotaract Port Klang Centennial thank you for the makan treat at Penang. It was FUN and full of great fellowship.

Yours in Rotaract

Also, still awaiting confirmation on Kwang Hwa's IU Day (7th April) & Salsa (12th April). I need confirmation on Kwang Hwa's by Wednesday and Salsa by the club meeting this Thursday. I hope I will not be disappointed.

Take care and see you guys soon...
