48th Weekly Update

On the 4th June, 2015, we changed our meeting venue to Poolside Reflection Sands Hotel, Macau. We had Rtn. Maeder visiting us from Shanghai though he expects to stay in Macau for longer period in future. Much thanks to Maeder for paying up his club dues for new Rotary year 2015-16 already. Also, PP Ritchie came with lovely Anabela and his guest, his godmother Gloria from Portugal.

PE Elizabete introduced our incoming 2015-16 RI President K.R. ‘ Ravi’ Ravidran’ new Presidential theme — “Be a Gift to the World” that he believes “ Everyone of us has something to give-whoever we are, whatever our place in life. We can give our talent, our knowledge, our abilities and our effort; we can give our dedication and our devotion. Through Rotary, we can take these gifts and make a genuine difference in the lives of others and in our world’.
