【Remarks by District Governor Medico地區總監致詞】
The first Rotary Club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, was established in Chicago, United States on February 23, 1905.Rotary clubs in various countries are members of Rotary International (RI), so broadly speaking, our members are not only members of our club or members of our district, but also members of Rotary clubs all over the world.
I served as president of the Rotary Club in 2011-12. At that time, I had an idea. As the current president, I wanted to visit the Rotary Club of Vancouver because I lived in Vancouver for three years.
Thereafter I visited many important Rotary clubs of long history, over 100 years, including Rotary Club of London (1911-), Rotary Club of Vancouver (1913-), Rotary Club of Tokyo (1920-), Rotary Club of Paris (1921-), Rotary Club of Sydney (1921-) , altogether 80 Rotary clubs in 14 countries, which are the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, and Spain.Visiting Rotary clubs in different countries is a very wonderful and meaningful experience. Addressing at regular meetings, promoting Taiwan and doing national diplomacy, not only can you make friends and enjoy delicious food, you can also broaden your knowledge and experience, and learn about the culture of Rotary clubs in various countries.
By face-to-face conversations, you can learn about the regular meetings of the clubs in person; you can also go to the websites of the Rotary clubs to study the history, culture, activities and services of the clubs.
During the two years before District Governor, I visited a lot of Rotary clubs in my District 3501 and gave a speech on “Visit to Rotary Clubs Abroad and Cultural Journey”.
I presented the actual interview photos and introduced them many different Rotary clubs in the world, which was well praised. If you have an ideal, you must make it come true, and a miracle will happen, which was not expected in the beginning.Thank you.
