District Governor Datuk Dr Mohinder Singh - Message

IT IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU…….

Dear Rotarians

It takes two long years of preparation as DGN and DGE and one

hectic year of implementation as DG. In the beginning the days

move slowly as Installations, Official Visits, appearance at Dis-trict and Club Functions start filling up the Diary of the DG. But

alas ! It all comes to an end as DG on 30th June. When I look

back, it appears that the whole year has passed by as a wink .

It has all been too short and there appears to be much unfin-

ished work, which no doubt will sort itself out under the new

leadership. I have the pleasure to be there as IPDG to ensure

this.

All said and done, I am glad that the year is over and I have

managed to complete all my official duties, inspite of the Quad-

ruple Heart Surgery that I had to undergo.

What have I as DG benefitted ?

1. A better understanding of Rotary and what it really means to be a Rotarian.

2. The wide variety of caring and welfare activities carried out by the Rotary Clubs - certainly there is much biodiversi-

ty. 3. A better insight into the strengths, weaknesses, preferences , desires and aspirations of the Rotary Clubs .

4. There is much love and respect among Rotarians for their DG and they are prepared to go the extra mile for the

DG.

5. It has been a great opportunity to get to know more Rotarians as well as build stronger friendships.

The work however is not over- DGs are not supposed to RETIRE. They move on to continue serving ROTARY even more

in new positions and provide the inspiration to the future leaders and new Rotarians. After all, they have reached the

PINNACLE OF ROTARY ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE DISTRICT and must continue to LIGHT UP ROTARY with their deeds

and actions.

I must thank all my AGs, District Officers, Presidents and all Rotarians and Spouses who made it a fantastic and mem-

orable year for me and Datin Helen. Rotary will never be the same to us - we have been enriched beyond our wildest

expectations.

WHAT I HAVE ACHIEVED IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR GENEROUS AND SELFLESS CONTRIBUTIONS . YOU HAVE

MADE ME PROUD TO BE YOUR DG.

THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU ROTARIANS AND YOUR FAMILIES.

From the proceeds of Rotary Club of Seputeh’s inaugural Golf Tournament held on April 18, 2014, a house was build

for a needy orang ASli family. In the true spirit of - ENGAGE ROTARY CHANGES LIVE, RC Seputeh turned a rundown

house of smashed bamboo wall and old newspapers to keep out wind and rain, a RM25,000 pre-fab house was

built. Well done RC Seputeh!

SPONSORING AN INTERACT CLUB

Do you want to empower young people in your community to take action, become leaders, and gain a global perspective?

Sponsor an Interact club! Whether they’re carrying out a ser-

vice project, organizing a Twitter chat, or planning a meeting,

Interact club members develop skills that can last a lifetime.

WHAT IS INTERACT?

Interact is a club for youth ages 12-18 who want to connect with other young people in their community or school. In-

teract club members have fun while carrying out service projects and learning about the world. Interact clubs organize

at least two service projects a year: one that benefits their community and one that encourages international under-

standing.

While Rotary clubs sponsor them, Interact clubs are largely self-sustaining, requiring little or no financial support from

your club.

June Message

We have a saying in Oklahoma that you need to leave the woodpile just a

little higher than you found it. To do that, I needed to ask you to get in-

volved. Involvement is what our theme this year – Engage Rotary, Change Lives – is all about. And, as each of us has

done that – as each of us has gotten up out of our chairs and truly engaged Rotary – we have changed lives.

This year, I asked each one of you to bring in one new member. The Board has laid a foundation for strengthening

membership around the globe: Sixteen regional membership plans are now in place. They are built around making

sure that we give people a reason to be in Rotary. I believe that if we can get prospective members to help us with a

project – it could be reading to kids, or working in a soup kitchen, or picking up trash along the highway – the rest

will take care of itself.

They will realize that they made a difference in someone's life. And they'll also realize that when you give through

Rotary service, you get so much more in return. I also asked each one of you to make a gift of some amount to our

Rotary Foundation.

All of our governors did that and became the first class in the history of Rotary to make that commitment. Some-

times we get comfortable in going to our club and not having any responsibility. Maybe it's because we haven't been

asked to be more engaged.

And, of course, it's great to go to your meeting and see your friends. But if you want to get fired up, you need to be

doing projects. Hands-on projects are great equalizers. When you're unloading boxes off a truck, you're just like the

next person, and that person is just like you.

When everyone's serving together, there's camaraderie, and that's how you keep people engaged. Rotarians some-

times don't realize all that Rotary is doing and is capable of doing. If they could witness the impact of the projects I

have seen this year, it would change their lives.

They would understand that they belong to an organization whose members have a common desire to do something

good and who, working together, accomplish incredible things. I continue to be in awe of the good I see Rotarians

doing.

I am firmly convinced that the woodpile is just a little higher because of your efforts. It is my hope that each one of

you will continue to Engage Rotary, Change Lives.

“It’s time for us to recognize

that the real challenge we

face isn’t just bringing new

members into Rotary — it’s

turning new members into

true Rotarians. It’s helping

new members get engaged in

Rotary, helping them realize

just what kind of potential

Rotary offers them, and how

their Rotary service can

change lives.”

Another beginning...

We have come to the end of June and the

end of the Rotary Year 2013-14. As we

celebrate the new Rotary year and usher in

the theme “Light-Up Rotary”, we should

continue every effort to “Engage Rotary and

Change Lives”.

Stepping into the next year of service,

Rotarians and Rotary Clubs are already

looking forward to further extend their

hands to serve the community.

Service Above Self is Rotary’s Motto, a

motto embedded in the DNA of every

Rotarian. Rotarians engagement within

the Club to expand its membership and

strengthen the club, would build resources

within the club.

With a strong club, Rotarians engagement

with the community is further enhanced

and inevitably changes lives of those who

are under privileged.

Fellowship continues to be the cornerstone

of Rotary and building better friendship

through fellowship and service is our

mantra.

Congratulations to all out-going Presidents

for having successfully leading your Clubs

and may you continue to enjoy Rotary.
