This time of year is always a pleasure to welcome more visiting Rotarians from around the world to our club meetings and events, helping to build our relationships and ongoing friendships with other Rotary clubs. The more we work together, the more we can accomplish together for the underprivileged and disadvantaged in our communities.
Our Sergeant-At-Arms Past President Paul opened the meeting and gave a warm welcome to all of the guests in our traditional club fashion. President Brian presented our recent and upcoming club activities as well as our in-process community service projects, including the recently completed classroom expansion project at Ban Khlong Noi Border Patrol Police School in the mountainous region of Pala-U.
Our Environment Committee Director Guenter spoke about his recent visit to the Rotary Club of Berlin-Alexanderplatz, and discussed his research on a possible project to provide sustainable power for a remote school in an area without access to grid electricity. Rotarian David gave an informative update on our largest fundraising event of the year, our 14th annual Charity Golf Classic to be held on 29 November.
Karl St. George, the Chairman of the British Chamber of Commerce Thailand – Western Seaboard enlightened the audience on the inner-workings of the BCCT with Vice-Chairman Richard Knight. Founded in 1946, the BCCT is a non-profit organization providing support to help develop businesses in Thailand as well as a like-minded organization with goals aligned with Rotary International.
Special thanks to Rotarian Greta Lindh from the Rotary Club of Simrishamn in Sweden for sharing information about her very long-standing club chartered in 1952, accompanied by her niece Lina. Past President Paul was the lucky winner of the bottle of wine for the day.
