PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

MM y journey as President is coming to a close and we have fixed the Joint Club

Assembly for the 6th June, 2017. This Assembly will formally introduce the Incoming BOD, and at the same time the Outgoing BOD will be able to address the Club for one last time. I will also say my swan song as the Outgoing President and I do hope members will take time off to attend this evening meeting. Forty years ago, the RC of Duarte, California was terminated by RI for violating the all males only RI Constitution when they admitted three female members into their club. This was challenged and the fight for women’s right was taken to the US Supreme Court and after ten years, the first ever lady Rotary club president was sent to attend the president-elect training seminar. In 1989 the RI Council on Legislation formally and permanently ended Rotary’s status as a men-only organization. Pudu Rotary Club was amongst the early clubs in the District to admit women. It was in 1992 during the presidency of PP Choo Jee Sam that the Club admitted her first lady Rotarian, Dato’ Rosemarie Wee. I am honored to be the 4th lady president of PRC this Rotary year. To me Pudu is like a home where I live, play and grow up in. The diversity of its membership has been the strength of the Club and together we have accomplished many projects which undoubtedly have added tremendous value to our own lives and the lives of others. It is with pride that I will present my Swan Song during the coming Assembly to recognize the hard work of the BOD of 2016/17 and my members who have guided me during my president’s journey. ―ROTARY SERVING HUMANITY‖ Sandy Soh Kwee Tin President RY 2016-2017

AA true story, happened in 1892 at Stanford University:

An 18-year-old student was struggling to pay his fees. He was an orphan, and not knowing where to turn for money, he came up with a bright idea. He and a friend decided to host a musical concert on campus to raise money for their education. They reached out to the great pianist Ignacy J. Paderewski. His manager demanded a guaranteed fee of $2000 for the piano recital. A deal was struck and the boys began to work to make the concert a success. The big day arrived. But unfortunately, they had not managed to sell enough tickets. The total collection was only $1600. Disappointed, they went to Paderewski and explained their plight. They gave him the entire $1600, plus a cheque for the balance $400. They promised to honour the cheque at the soonest possible. ―No,‖ said Paderewski. ―This is not acceptable.‖ He tore up the cheque, returned the $1600 and told the two boys: ―Here’s the $1600. Please deduct whatever expenses you have incurred. Keep the money you need for your fees. And just give me whatever is left‖. The boys were surprised, and thanked him profusely. It was a small act of kindness. But it clearly marked out Paderewski as a great human being. Why should he help two people he did not even know? We all come across situations like these in our lives. And most of us only think ―If I help them, what would happen to me?‖ The truly great people think, ―If I don’t help them, what will happen to them?‖ They don’t do it expecting something in return. They do it because they feel it’s the right thing to do. Paderewski later went on to become the Prime Minister of Poland. He was a great leader, but unfortunately when the World War began, Poland was ravaged. There were more than 1.5 million people starving in his country, and no money to feed them. Paderewski did not know where to turn for help. He reached out to the US Food and Relief Administration for help. The head there was a man called Herbert Hoover — who later went on to become the US President. Hoover agreed to help and quickly shipped tons of food grains to feed the starving Polish people. A calamity was averted. Paderewski was relieved. He decided to go across to meet Hoover and personally thank him. When Paderewski began to thank Hoover for his noble gesture, Hoover quickly interjected and said, ―You shouldn’t be thanking me Mr. Prime Minister. You may not remember this, but several years ago, you helped two young students go through college. I was one of them.‖ The world is a wonderful place. What goes around comes around! Warmest Regards.

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL NEWS

Rotary Foundation named World's Outstanding Foundation for 2016

Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair-elect Paul Netzel accepts the Award for Outstanding Foundation, on Rotary's behalf, at the Association of Fundraising Professionals 2017 conference. The Association of Fundraising Professionals recognized The Rotary Foundation with its annual Award for Outstanding Foundation at its 2017 conference in San Francisco. The award honors organizations that show philanthropic commitment and leadership through financial support, innovation, encouragement of others, and involvement in public affairs. Some of the boldest names in American giving — Kellogg, Komen, and MacArthur, among others —are past honorees. The announcement came on 15 November, known to industry professionals since the 1980s as National Philanthropy Day. The award was presented 2 May at the AFP’s annual conference. Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair-elect Paul Netzel accepted the award on Rotary’s behalf, and Eric Schmelling, Rotary's chief philanthropy officer, also attended the conference. The event drew more than 3,400 senior-level fundraising professionals from 33 countries. ―In our Centennial year, we are deeply honored to receive this recognition from the Association of Fundraising Professionals,‖ said Netzel. AFP’s committee of judges cited Rotary’s comprehensive campaign to eradicate polio as a major driver of the selection. ―With the generous support of our members and partners, we’ve taken on some of the toughest humanitarian challenges in the world, none more so than the devastating disease of polio,‖ said Netzel. ―We will defeat polio, and it will be a landmark achievement for global public health.‖ The committee also mentioned that Rotary applies a methodical, purposeful approach to support a wide variety of causes, from providing clean water to educating the next generation of peace professionals. ―This award helps to spread our belief that service to humankind truly changes our world, and for that reason, it is the greatest work of life,‖ said Netzel.
