4 W ow, this is the last President s Message I shall be writing for the RY Time flies and we are into the last month of the RY and also into the last meeting. After that Best Wishes to PE Heng who is all prepared to take over the duties as President. Like what I have gone through, he shall be going through. All the joys, the heartaches, the worries, the tension, the satisfaction, the planning, the meetings, the fellowships and lots of other emotions. I speak from experience and I am glad to have been given the opportunity to helm this great Club. I enjoyed myself a lot and made a number of friends both in the Club and in the District. I must say, I have grown up a bit too, more matured to be precise. Now I see things and people in better perspective. I have learnt to be patient with events and people. I have learnt a bit about leadership and delegation of duties, gentle when I feel they are not right and salute when they are brilliant. In other words, I have come out of the presidency a better person! How well did the Rotary Club of Pudu do in RY2017/18 under my watch? The district awards speak for itself. We gather 9 awards viz: 1) Outstanding President Award 2) Outstanding Young Rotarian 3) Outstanding Family Rotary Project 4) Outstanding Newsletter 5) Outstanding Community Service Project 6) Outstanding Public Image Project 7) Winner of Vocational Service Award 8) 100% PHF Club and 9) the Presidential Citation. All these could not be achieved by me alone so the credit should go to the BOD and the members who were so supportive. Members had not only been supportive in terms of being present at meetings and events but also in terms of fund raising. Rotary Clubs cannot function without funds, and I am delighted to say our Rotary club functioned effectively and efficiently because members rallied around whenever we need funds to carry out projects and activities. Thank you members and this PRESIDENT S MESSAGE comes from the bottom of my heart. And all our achievements could not have been made possible without the support and participation of our spouses. So I say to our spouses, thanks a million. And to the support and advice of our Past Presidents, thanks a million too. And you would not be able to read this ebulletin without the effort of Editor PP Dato Muslim, so I say, thanks a million too Dato. When we first started I made 3 objective visions 1) To promote good fellowship between members and their families 2) To carry out beneficial community service projects to benefit the community and 3) To help develop leadership qualities amongst the youth. I believe that we have managed to achieve our objectives. Members are happy and most have come forward to serve. Members had traveled overseas for pleasure and visited our sister clubs and made many friends. Members come and go. I am sad to see a few departures but at the same time happy to see some additions. Some are young and this augers well for the future of the Club. Best of all to judge whether a year is successful is looking at the succession. I am glad to have a successor in PE Heng and I am sure he will helm the Club most effectively. There are a few others who can move up and I am happy to pass the baton to PE Heng. Thank you Members & Spouses & Best Wishes. EDITORIAL Jeffrey Yap President RY Sorry, I have to give up my column space for the President to do justice to his Swan Song. What s left only allows me to say that I am handing over this ebulletin to a former Rotaractor, young Rtn Marcus Chan. I am sure he ll do a good job and win next year s award for outstanding Newsletter too. Dato Muslim Ayob Past President Editor Rotary Club of Pudu Page 4

22 LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE Dear fellow Rotarians, RI NEWS TRF CHAIR s MESSAGE Whether you are a club president, a district governor, or a Rotary committee chair, we all spend May and June busily preparing for the upcoming transition in July. Soon, another Rotary year will come to a close. But it s not an ending. In so many ways, it s just the beginning. There is only so much we can do in the 365 days we re given. Our Foundation was founded a century ago and exists today because we Rotarians have a long-term vision our commitment to end polio and our dedication to sustainable global grants projects are two examples. While we may not see the result of a Rotary project during a given Rotary year, the seeds we plant today will be harvested as rich fruit in the years to come. This year, we are on target to achieve our goal of raising $360 million, thanks to the generous support of you and so many of your fellow Rotarians and friends. Just think for a moment of that money, how much will become drops of polio vaccine next year, and whose lives will those drops save? How much of it will be used to fund literacy initiatives? How many people s lives will be transformed by a global grant water project in two, four, or 10 years? The Rotary Foundation s impact grows with each passing year, and so does its reputation. This year, for the 10th consecutive year, Charity Navigator the leading independent charity evaluator in the U.S. gave the Foundation a four-star rating. Our Foundation ranks among the top 1 percent of charities it evaluates. The Rotary Foundation remains on a strong footing, and it will continue to grow and prosper, because we Rotarians work together so well, annually handing off leadership to our trusted friends. As I pass the torch to Past RI President Ron D. Burton, who will bring his unique talents and leadership to the position of trustee chair in July, I know that our future is in good hands. Rotary leaders also regularly pass the torch to the next generation, which is eager for the chance to serve. Today, more than 200,000 Rotaractors are dedicated to making a difference on the issues that matter to our world and their communities. Show them how The Rotary Foundation can help them achieve their dreams of Doing Good in the World. I encourage you to invite the Rotaractors you know to get involved with The Rotary Foundation by applying for a scholarship or peace fellowship, partnering with a Rotary club on a global grant project, joining a Rotary club while they are still members of Rotaract, or giving a gift to support Rotary s humanitarian work around the world. By taking the action of engaging younger professionals today, we are preparing Rotary s future leaders to leave their own legacy. Our Rotary Foundation brought so much good into this world in its first century. And with your support, it will continue to do so well into the future. If you haven t made a contribution yet this Rotary year, I hope you will consider doing so today. And as you go forth, continue to support the Foundation and let others know about its work. You may never hear it with your own ears, but somewhere, future generations will thank you for it. Paul A. Netzel Chair, The Rotary Foundation Rotary Club of Pudu Page 22
