President's Message June 2019

 

 

It seems that we say this often but May was another great month for the Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin. Firstly, we enjoyed the Rotary District Training Assembly in Trang, Thailand with nearly 20% of our club members in attendance. It was a colorful weekend of camaraderie between Rotarians and the evening’s festivities included a lot of fun among the 102 clubs participating.

 

Our Rotaractors of Stamford International University were instrumental in organizing the community service projects for young students at 11 Border Police Patrol Schools at the Thailand-Myanmar border on 11-12 May. It is an ongoing co-project between Rotaract and RCRHH providing school backpacks for the 300+ kids, donations of necessary staple items and facility improvements on the school buildings.

 

On Thursday 23 May, we attended the Stamford Rotaractor's annual International Charity Night 2019, an event organized by the Rotaractors, RCRHH, Hua Hin Market Village and Stamford International University. The party was held at Hua Hin Market Village Shopping Mall to raise funds for the Rotaract Club of Stamford and their University Social Responsibility initiatives, and the university students provided the food and entertainment throughout the evening.

 

We are most proud of our Rotaractors of Stamford University and Webster University for creating effective service projects for the disadvantaged and they continue to be the inspiration for our young stakeholders.

 

Surely the most exciting event of the year was our 10^th Annual Club Officer Installation Night on 1 June. We welcomed a number of visiting Rotary Clubs including over 120 Rotarians and guests, including special VIP appearances by our current District Governor Lt Gen Kanit Jamjuntra and incoming District Governor Sukol Uengsroithong. The night was the most memorable affair to induct our incoming President Napa Keawtem and our club’s new Board of Directors. We look forward to P Napa’s leadership with the Board for another successful year of community service and fellowship.

 

June is ‘Rotary Fellowships Month’ to recognize the importance of international fellowship and goodwill among Rotarians in Rotary’s humanitarian areas of focus and we look forward to celebrating that.

 

Please take the time to peruse our monthly Club Bulletin and website for updates and you are always welcome to join us in our fellowship meetings and service activities. I look forward to seeing you there to Be the Inspiration.

Yours in Rotary,

 

President 2018-2019
