PRESIDENT'S MUSINGS
EDITORIAL
by Jack Lim
Dear Fellow RCPJ
Rotarians,
This is the second time
I’m writing to you in this column. Before I get into writing on current affairs of our country or
great philosophies, let me try to touch on mundane things like what we should all do to make the
work of all our office bearers bearable. After all they are only volunteers and doing us a favour
in whatever they do and not paid to do a job. By freeing them from tedious and unnecessary hassle
like informing and reminding members of their weekly duties at our weekly meetings, they will feel
they are doing a worthwhile job and have more time to think and implement better ideas and
procedures for the enjoyment of all members. Hence, we will have more takers for the various areas
of service and members will benefit more from a competent and innovative club.
We say let every
Rotarian be a model for Interactors. I hope the Interactors do not take this to mean all Rotarians.
Some Rotarians don’t even inform whether they are coming for a event or meeting that involves them.
Now, what kind of a model is that? It will make the work of the organiser or host so much easier if
every member informs in good time compared to the host calling every member concerned. If to
respond is good etiquette, shouldn’t Rotarians being captains of industry set a good example for
others to follow?
As regards, the
Bulletin, I am beginning to see members sending materials and info directly to the Webmaster,
Clare. Prez Yeng Kit and Rianne have started the ball rolling. Thank you. I hope the other
Activity Heads will do likewise with immediate effect. This will speed up the publication of the
Bulletin and your activity get the publicly it deserves. Whatever photos you take at any event or
meeting of the Club are most welcomed for the Bulletin. Please insert captions for your photos
before sending to Clare at Clear Joy.
Thank you for
co-operation.
