RI president
Rotary News -- 7 August 2012
Gary C.K.
Huang, a member of the Rotary Club of Taipei, Taiwan, is the selection of the
Nominating Committee for President of Rotary International in 2014-15. Huang
will become the president-nominee on 1 October if there are no challenging
candidates.
Huang
says his vision for Rotary is to increase membership to more than 1.3 million.
“To
increase our membership, we must go beyond borders to wherever we see growth
potential, such as the countries of China, Mongolia, and Vietnam. I will put an
emphasis on increasing female and younger members,” Huang says. “I will also
encourage former Rotarians to once again be part of our Rotary family.”
Huang has
served as the chair of Taiwan Sogo Shinkong Security Co., Ltd., Shin Kong Life
Real Estate Service Co., and P.S. Insurance Agency, Inc. and director of
Federal Corporation and managing director of Taipei Life-Line Association.
He is a
past president of Malayan Overseas Insurance Co. and charter secretary general
of the Council for Industrial and Commercial Development in Taiwan.
A
Rotarian since 1976, Huang has served as RI vice president, director, Rotary
Foundation trustee, district governor, International Assembly training leader,
regional session leader, task force member and coordinator, and committee
member and chair.

In 2011-12, the Foundation's unaudited and interim figures show
that US$110.6 million
was raised for the Annual Fund, the second-highest amount in the Foundation’s
history. Annual Fund total giving saw a 3.72 percent increase from the
previous year, as Rotarians continued their generous support of the
Foundation.
Part of our success is owed to the 5,633 Rotary Direct
participants who make recurring gifts to The Rotary Foundation on a monthly,
quarterly, or annual basis.
Please consider joining Rotary
Direct today and help the Foundation reach its 2012-13 Annual Fund
goal of $120 million. And, as always, thank you for your generous support.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE
AN AMAZING SENTENCE
IN ENGLISH - Remarkable indeed! The person who made this sentence must be a
vocabulary GENIUS.
"I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting;
nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality counterbalancing
indecipherability transcendentalizes intercommunication's incomprehensibleness."
This is a sentence where the first word is one letter long, the second is a word of two letters; the third word is three letters long ............ the 8th word is 8 letters long and so on ... with the 20th word being 20 letters long!
