2nd. Interest Meeting in progress.

The birth of a Rotary Club.

The process of chartering a Rotary Club is quite structured. It started with several interest meeting where potential charter members gathered to educate themselves on Rotary movement under the guidance of member of the District Club Extension Committee. A proteem committe is then formed consisting of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. The committee meet regularly in order to attract more charter member. The Club then applied to be chartered. If it meet the requirement, it will be given provisional status initially by the District. The club may then start to function under close supervision of the mother club and the District Club Extension Committee. Once the club showed that it can meet all the obligations, the District may then recommend the club to be approved by Rotary International. 

I was fortunate to attend the 2nd. interest meeting in the formation of  Rotary Club of Langkawi at Bella Vista Hotel, Kuah, Langkawi on Saturday 6th. Feb. 2010.  A Proteem Committee had been formed and I looked forward for he chartering of the new club in the near future.
