2014-15 國際扶輪社長 五 月份 文告
|
| |
|
|
|
親愛的扶輪社友們：
在扶輪國際年會，我喜歡的項目諸多之一是友誼之家。中文有句話說：「有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎。」
|
| |
|
在6 月6-9 日的106 屆國際扶輪年會，友誼之家將反映地主城市聖保羅的興奮刺激及多元文化的融合。
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
在全體會議中間休息時間，你可以輕鬆一下，享受巴西所能提供的一切―品嘗佳餚、瀏覽當地製造的禮品、以及欣賞高品質的娛樂節目。你也可以在展示扶輪計畫及扶輪社員行動團體的攤位，找到服務構想及服務夥伴。
|
|
|
|
最棒的是，你將有機會見見老朋友，以及結交新朋友。
|
|
|
|
友誼之家是一處很適合招待你邀請參加國際年會的賓客―你的家人及你從國內邀請來的朋友―的地方。藉由與我一起出席年會，我的家人體驗了扶輪真正的國際性。最後，我的太太Corinna 和三個子女全部都加入扶輪社。
|
|
|
|
你與你的賓客肯定想趕快來參加6 月4 日由水及衛生扶輪社員行動團體贊助的第七屆世界水資源高峰會，或6 月4-5 日的扶輪和平研修會。。
|
|
|
|
今年我們很榮幸邀請到哥斯大黎加前總統阿里亞斯•桑傑士Oscar Arias Sanchez 博士擔任扶輪和平研修會的主題演講人。他因居間斡旋使各方達成和平協議結束了中美洲殘暴內戰，而獲得諾貝爾和平獎。
|
| |
|
6 月4-5 日的其他活動包括扶輪青年服務團年會前會議、國際研習會、青少年交換職員年會前會議。
|
|
|
國際年會結束後，請花時間好好探索巴西所提供的一切―離那裏只有幾個小時車程的天然海灘、里約熱內盧的刺激及五光十色和亞馬遜雨林的驚奇。
|
|
|
我每一年從扶輪國際年會返國後，都感到備受激勵，想要在這一年做更多事，在扶輪服務做更大付出。請在今天到www.riconvention.org 註冊參加國際年會。我盼望在聖保羅能看到你﹗

2014-15 RI President’s Message in May 2015
|
| |
|
|
|
DEAR FELLOW ROTARIANS,
One of my favorite parts of a Rotary convention is the House of Friendship. In Chinese, we say: 有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎. “To have friends come together from faraway places is a wonderful thing.”.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
At the 106th annual Rotary International Convention, 6-9 June, the House of Friendship will refl ect the excitement and the diverse blend of cultures of São Paulo, the host city.
|
|
|
|
In between general sessions, you can relax and enjoy all that Brazil has to offer –sample the cuisine, browse locally made gifts, and take in top-quality entertainment. You also can get ideas for service and fi nd partners at booths showcasing Rotary projects and Rotarian Action Groups.
|
|
|
|
And best of all, you’ll have the opportunity to spend time with old friends and make many new ones.
|
|
|
|
The House of Friendship is a wonderful place to bring your convention guests – your family and your friends from home. By attending conventions with me, my family experienced the true internationality of Rotary. Eventually my wife, Corinna, and all three of my children joined Rotary clubs.
|
|
|
You and your guests will want to be sure to come early for World Water Summit 7, on 4 June, sponsored by the Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group, or for the Rotary Peace Symposium, 4-5 June.
|
|
|
This year we are honored that Dr. Oscar Arias, former president of Costa Rica, will be the keynote speaker at the Rotary Peace Symposium. Arias received the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering a peace agreement that ended the brutal civil wars in Central America.
|
|
|
Other events 4-5 June include the Rotaract Preconvention Meeting, the International Institute, and the Youth Exchange Offi cers Preconvention Meeting.
|
|
|
When the convention is over, spend time exploring all that Brazil has to off er – pristine beaches just a few hours away, the excitement and glamour of Rio de Janeiro, and the wonders of the Amazon rain forest.
|
|
|
Every year, I return from the Rotary convention inspired to do more, to give more in Rotary service throughout the year. Register today at www.riconvention.org. I look forward to seeing you in São Paulo!
|
