Page 8 - Rotary District Conference

Message from Organising Committee Chair

Assistant Governor Cassy Cheng

Dear fellow Rotarians, Rotaractors and friends,

I am honoured to welcome you to the 61st District Conference. This year’s Rotary theme
“Rotary Opens Opportunities” inspires us to create the opportunity for Rotarians and
Rotaractors to join hands together to hold this District Conference, brings out the positive
impacts between both Rotary and Rotaract communities. This collaboration opens up new
channels for further cooperation.

Another key factor is the incorporation of Rotary District 3450’s three Areas of Focus
— Health, Environment and Peace throughout different aspects of our conference.
Participants will have the opportunity to experience and learn more about these key
focuses while enjoying the rich diversity of our conference program.

One featured element that support our theme on being environment friendly is the first ever use of LED display panels
to exhibit the House of Friendship submissions of each club, sharing their accomplishments in the community in a
digital way. These contents have already been published on our DC website, https://www.rd3450dc.com

Our preparations for the conference have not been easy and plans continue to change under the unforeseen and
unpredictable pandemic. I am thankful to the organizing committee for their wisdom and our participants for being
flexible while we strive through every challenge, and help draw the conference to a successful close towards the end
of this Rotary Year.

In recognition to the three Areas of Focus, may I wish us all in good health, be eco-friendly and also be peacemakers
to our world.

With best wishes,
Cassy Cheng
Assistant Governor
61st District Conference Chair

平以多元形式注入年會内，務求為大家帶來耳目一新的氣象。

為了配合其中的焦點——環保，我們首次以LED電子幕屏於年會中展示「友誼之家」的服務活動，而各社的服務善行已
上載到年會的網頁內，歡迎大家隨時瀏覽：https://www.rd3450dc.com

面對疫情的反覆，委員會的工作一變再變，我由衷感激每個委員的無私付出，結合勇氣和智慧克服重重困難；也承蒙
各參與者的支持和包容，使年會能順利進行並為這年度畫上圓滿句號。

誠如地區的三大聚焦：祈大家健康平安，彼此善用資源，一起共築和平世界！
