Rotary Membership

by P.K. Chan

Rotary District Membership Chair-Elect Hans Doge calls on all Rotarians to acknowledge recruiting new

members as a priority for the new Rotary Year.

Rotarian Hans Doge made a heartfelt appeal to all Rotarians to bring in new blood for the clubs. Only

8 out of 53 clubs in the District have shown growth in membership in the current year. New members

and new ideas are needed to reverse this declining trend, which is very much attributed to a generally

aging membership among the clubs. Every member has the responsibility to bring in new members.

Consistency - "one bite at a time" is what is needed for the clubs to continue to grow.

week.

On Jun. 11 2007 Rtn. Quentin joined the regular meeting at Rotary Club of Tsaotun Central,

which is in District 3460. His uncle was 2000 ~ 2002 club president. It's a wonderful experience to

visit the club that he has known most of the members since he was a kid. Tsaotun is Quentin's

hometown.

Next day, Jun 12 2007, Rtn. Sport from Rotary Club of Taoyuan Bailing at District 3500 invited Quentin to attend

his club meeting. It's very special that their venue is on the 23rd floor of a hospital. Quentin did learn a lot from their

future projects report and earn lots of friendships there. After meeting, CP Peace; President Grinder and lots of

Rotarians from RC of Taoyuan Bailing took Quentin for a very delicious seafood night meal. Wow, what a delightful

evening.

Rtn. Quentin had attended four Rotary clubs' meetings during the two-weeks stay at Taiwan. Rotarians in Taiwan

always gave Quentin the warmest welcome.

Quentin would like to thank all the friends in those clubs for their touch-heart greetings.

THANK YOU!

CP Peace;President Grinder;Quentin and Rtn.

Fund Raising for BC Children Hospital

by P.K. Chan

Raymond Li and Cecilia Liu from the Charity Fund of the Children Hospital called on Rotarians to

open their wallets for good causes.

Before Raymond Li made his presentation on May 29, 2007 about the history of the Children

Hospital Charity Fund, it was probably unbeknown to most of us that our hospital health system

has no budget for researches and developments. Researchers have been funded by donations,

results of the effort of many donors and volunteers working for the good causes.

The Hospital's objective is to bring more smiles to children. Cecilia Liu gave a first hand experience on how the

Hospital helped her stay together with her loving daughter, Cameron, for eighteen months. The time might be too

short for most people, but for Cameron, who suffered from the "Bubble Boy" desease, and Cecilia, they are very

thankful for the effort of the staff of the Children Hospital. Average life of a "Bubble Boy" is a year.
