Rotaract District Installation 2011-12 cum District Awards Presentation Ceremony 2010-11 has been successfully held on 30th of July at Regal Hong Kong Hotel. This event was well-received by Rotarians & Rotaractors and has attained an outstanding attendance. More than 60 Rotarians, including DG David Harilela, PDG Anthony Hung, PDG Peter Wong, PDG Tony Wong, various District leaders and Rotaract Advisors attended the ceremony to witness this remarkable occasion. In addition, more than 160 Rotaractors from 31 Rotaract Clubs in Hong Kong and Macao joined to celebrate the commencement of a new Rotaract Year as well.
During the ceremony, IPDRC Wendy Mung and IPDRR Anita Chan highlighted the achievements and breakthroughs of the previous Rotaract year. Meanwhile, IPDRC Wendy also brought us a good news that several new Rotaract Clubs are going to be chartered in Rotaract District 3450. Following their touching speeches, IPDRC Wendy introduced DRC Vincent Ng to the audience and IPDRR Anita passed the DRR belt to DRR Edwina Chung, symbolizing the installation of the District Rotaract Committee 2011-12. Members of the Rotaract Executive Committee (a newly formed committee under the new Rotaract Structure) were pinned by DG David and New Generations Committee Chair PDG Tony as well. DRC Vincent then explained the new Rotaract Structure and DRR Edwina presented her year plan themed “Be an All-rounded Rotaractor” for the brand new year.
After the formal installation ceremony, Rotaract District Committee 2010-11 held an interactive and entertaining District Awards Presentation Ceremony to recognize contributions made by Rotaract Advisors and Rotaract Clubs last year. Different awards from nine categories like Outstanding Advisors, Presidential Citation, Most Valued Rotaractor, Long Year Service Award, Outstanding Project Awards, Rotaract Club of the Year and more were presented. PDRR Vincent (2005-06) from Rotaract Club of Kowloon West is the only Rotaractor who gets the 10 Year Service Award in Rotaract Year 2010-11. The Awards Presentation Ceremony was closed in the climax of the announcement of Rotaract Club of the Year – Rotaract Club of New Territories (Community-based) and Rotaract Club of Shaw College, CUHK (University-based).
With this successful start, DRC and REC 2011-12 promise to keep organizing various district level activities and offering support to Rotaract Clubs. Together we hope to attain a memorable Rotaract Year of “Reach Within to Embrace Humanity”.
