Huang is choice for 2014-15 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.

Thank you for a successful year!
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!
