FROM THE DESK OF THE DISTRICT GOVERNOR
HELLO MY FELLOW ROTARIANS,
THE 21ST DISTRICT CONFERENCE 18-20 November is just about 15 days away and I am proud to mention the final preparation for this event is well underway by the hardworking committee comprising of 7 Rotary Clubs namely RC Kota Kinabalu, RC Likas Bay, RC Kota Kinabalu South, RC Luyang, RC Tanjung Aru, RC Kinabalu Sutera and RC Penampang.
This conference allows us to listen to reports from various District Committee Chair persons and also interesting presentations by our Rotarians and guest speakers, to propose resolutions on issues that concern us, provide a venue where Rotarians from 62 Clubs in the District to build and strengthen our fellowship and friendship which we dearly miss.
I appeal to all my fellow Rotarians who have yet to sign up, please do so quickly and do not miss this occasion. I look forward to meet up with you again for the excellent seafood of Sabah, the excellent entertainment awaiting you and most of all the beautiful and friendly people of Sabah. Of course for all of us from Sabah, this is an opportunity to show that we are great hosts.
By the way, the End Polio Trans-Sabah Walk and Climb from Sandakan to Kota Kinabalu will complete their journey on the 18th November to coincide with the 1st day of the 21st District Conference. These heroes will be walking 340 miles across Sabah and climb 4,095 meters high up Mount Kinabalu. At the Conference you would have the opportunity to meet up with these heroes of ours and listen from them how exciting and enduring the walk and climb has been. Many Rotarians have taken up the challenge to raise funds to support this End Polio campaign to eradicate this deadly disease from the face of this earth. I thank all of you for your generous contribution and support. WE ARE ALMOST THERE!
The organizing committee has arranged many good programs awaiting you and your charming spouses. So let me once again to invite you to the District Conference, which will surely be one that will be remembered for years to come.
I take this opportunity to wish all our Muslim friends Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha.
See you all in Kota Kinabalu soon.
“Reach within to Embrace Humanity”
Yours in Rotary
Hj Zainie Abdul Aucasa
