Club Attendance
Club attendance for the last 2 meetings
have not been encouraging. The avarage attandance was less than 50%.
DGSR PP Tay Loo Wee encourage the members to give a personal touch to this
issue by calling the irregular attending members to come. PP Albert
suggested breaking into groups of 5 with a group leader who will look after
their group. Another suggestion brought up was a review of membership
of the irregular/none attending members and asking them whether they know
of the 60% attendance requirement to stay on as a member. Also, as
club survival, the members must try to get more guests to come and hopefully
join us as Rotarians.
What went on ..........
PP Albert Goh shared his experience
of being a GSE team leader and living in Texas for 36 days. Some interesting
ways of conducting Rotary meetings in Texas and Los Angeles (that
I have seen during my GSE trip- BS), Pledge of Allegiance to the flag and
recital of the 4 Way Test at the start of the meeting. PP Albert
said maybe we could emulate our fellow American Rotarians by singing the
Nagara Ku song at the start of our meeting. (Please comment on this).
Coincidently, the GSE team from Texas was in town and the team leader, PDG Merill Green attended our meeting and gave a short talk about his District and city. He also mentioned as a matter of interest that in 1994 when he was the District Governor, Rotary International spent some US$62 million on Rotary Foundation program like Youth Exchange, GSE, etc. This shows that RI is serious in its effort in promoting International Understanding.
The Registration of Society has approved the formation of our club and we are now officially recognised by the Malaysian Government.
Our Charter Night is tentatively fixed on the 25th July and PP Albert Goh suggested we invite DG Fong Hoe Beng (as he was the DG when the club was founded and chartered) and incoming DG Stephen Wan Ullok.
CP Mark and the members would also like to convey their best wishes to Rtn. Florence Chu's mother as she is sick on her speedy recovery.
We had a couple who were the guest speakers
on an interesting talk on Herbal Treatment. Mr & Mrs Tan Choo
Tiong gave an insight on the herbs that can be found in our gardens.
Mr Tan who is suffering from liver cancer went for modern treatment but
got worse and after heeding an advise from a Baha'i
friend, changed his diet to nuts and grains and used only herbs, found
that his health improved. They have willing to share their knowledge
with anyone who is inte-
rested.
