I Choose to Reuse.

Rotary Clubs in Malaysia and GIANT Hypermarket undertook this project to increase public awareness on the important of recycling to minimise waste. On Sunday 27th. May 2012 Rotary volunteers and GIANT staff distributed more than 137,000 green shopping bags to the public. The lucky shoppers on that day were given reuseable green bags instead of the normal plastic bags. The message was to reuse these bags for their shopping as many times as possible thus minimising waste if they were to use the normal plastic bags. This to enhance further the current campaign of not dispensing plastic bags on Saturday.
I happened to be in Kuantan at that time so manage to catch up with Kuantan Rotarians who were involved in the project.

It went to Salt lake City instead. How a good Samaritan couple put her up at their residence for the night. Thank you for sharing President.

Full report below; (courtesy of PP Pushpa Krishna)

A joint, Group 12, Vocational awards night was held at Royal Selangor Club, Jalan Raja, on 25 October 2010. This event saw the coming together of 5 Rotary Clubs namely, RC Damansara, RC Bukit Komanwel, RC Cheras, RC Kg. Bahru and RC Titiwangsa. Eight members of the public were duly recognized for their dedication in carrying out their duties in their respective vocations while maintaining high moral and ethical standards .

The event was timed to coincide with RI’s Vocational Month (October) and the joint effort made an extra impact showing the unity and fellowship between Rotarians and Rotary Clubs.
Gracing the occasion was PP R. Shanmugam, district chairman of Vocational Service Committee. In his address, he congratulated the recipients on being hand picked for this recognition and commended them for being model members of the community with sound ethical values and great dedication in their profession. He further applauded Rotary for being one of the few organizations that has managed to provide humanitarian service to the community and encourage ethical vocational standards at the same time. This balance between these 2 forms of service profoundly distinguishes ‘Rotary’ from most of the other organizations.
In an effort to provide some Rotary information to non-Rotarians and Rotarians alike, a video presentation was played giving an overview of Rotary’s role in eradicating Polio from the face of this earth. Polio day was on 24 October.
The citation of each candidate was read by each club’s Vocational Service chair and a Certificate and plaque was presented to them by the respective Presidents in the presence of PP Shanmugam and AG Johnson Phang.

Someting to remember from us.

District Governor (DG) Lim Kok Beng visit Rotary Club Kampung Baharu. 20th.Oct.2010.
District Governor official visit to any Rotary Club is an event that all Rotarian looked forward too. It is like the Pope visiting a church. Unlike the Pope who do not have the time to visit all the churches, District Governor make it a point to visit all the club during his one year tenure holding the highest office in a Rotary district. During the visit the District Governor would give his full attention to the club members. He would offer advise where necessary but most of all he would lent his ears to hear all the members complaints and grouses. Something which I do not envy as he had to cover more than 70 Clubs throughout the district 3300.


Members who could make it were Hj.Razali, Ruzman,Shah,Jamil, Datin Nor, Amran,Khairuzad and Tariman while those who were away Aida,Norlia,Sam,Feardaus and Jonnaidi.

(3)BLOOD DONATION
The Malaysian Association of Hotels(MAH), together with its co-organisers, Rotary Club of Damansara and Istana Hotel Kuala Lumpur are pleased to organise a Blood Donation Campaign in aid of the University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) Blood Bank.
The need for blood increases during holidays and festive seasons, where people are more likely to be travelling and are active during these times, and are at an increased risk of accidents. With this in mind, MAH together with its co-organisers realise that this campaign is essential because of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, one of the biggest festive celebrations amongst Malaysian is approaching in a month’s time.
Donating blood is a fast and simple procedure. Blood donors can donate up to half a litre every two and a half to three months. This amount is small, given that the body contains five to six litres of blood. The full blood donation procedure takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes.
I would greatly appreciate if Presidents of Rotary Clubs in the Klang Valley support this effort by encouraging their members to visit Istana Hotel Kuala Lumpur on 9th August from 10.00am to 4.00pm. The organisers hope to welcome more than hundred donors on that day. As many as three people’s lives can be saved as a result of just one donation.
Enclosed herewith is the Blood Donation Campaign flyer . For more information, please contact Mr. Azzwa, our Membership Executive at 03-4251 8477.
Give Blood, Give Life. Regards,Francis Arulanandam President, RC Damansara
