On Friday, the 8th February 2019, the Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin held its 8th Annual Multi Rotary Club Family & Friends Night in the Ballroom of the Amari Hua Hin Resort & Spa.  Over 130 guests attended the packed fellowship evening including global representatives from the Rotary Clubs of Bangkok, Bangkok South, Bangkapi, Dhonbury, Hua Hin, and a bit further from abroad the Rotary Clubs of Berum in Oslo, Norway, Kalamalka in British Columbia, Canada, Aireborough in West Yorkshire, UK, Paddington in Brisbane, Australia, and Zurich West in Switzerland.
Guests enjoyed the night’s entertainment as well as the usual high standard of international cuisine, beverages and super service provided by the Amari.
President Brian Anderson spoke about the Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin and its recent community service projects especially the new Rotary Education Centre to be constructed at Ban Nong Khon School in Hua Hin. He proudly conveyed, “Our Multi-Club Family & Friends Night is always a much anticipated event for international fellowship attracting a multitude of Rotarians and guests from Thailand and abroad. It started off in 2012 as a well-attended dinner meeting hosting the 1st Annual Delegation Visit by the Rotary Club of Bangkok South as well as Rotarians of 16 Rotary Clubs from around the world who ventured to Hua Hin immediately after attending the Rotary International Convention in Bangkok.”
The student Rotaract Clubs of Stamford International University and Webster University were also present en masse to celebrate their annual Club Officer Installations and were presented with Rotaract badges by Rotary Club President Brian Anderson, President-Elect Napa Keawtem and Rotarian Benjamas Uamsa-ard, who chairs the Club Youth Service Committee. Both Rotaract Clubs gave presentations on the community service projects they had been involved in as well as future plans for service.
