恭喜大家喜氣羊羊迎新年、過新年,隨著10分區艋舺踩街的扮財神社區服務度過了光耀扶輪的馬上光榮年,來到了準備收割的三羊開泰年。扶輪也選在2月23日農曆年湊熱鬧過110年的生日,人瑞鮮少有110年壽,但社團組織竟得以延綿傳承,遙想台灣在67年前成立台北社,老祖宗如果不傳宗接代,就沒有今天的我們全台將近4萬名社友。而今,14~15年度本地區要成立15個新社與15個衛星社的三十而立目標,就靠我們的意念與使命,大家一起來完成了!

2月是『世界了解月』,我們在農曆年間,快效率組團11名今年度首次浩浩蕩蕩訪問日本2580姊妹地區,甫抵達即接受了總監團的高規格歡迎晚宴接待,相談甚歡,成功地啟動兩地區情誼,訪問團全程參加年會,除了看到台灣3520地區去的RI社長特別代表PP Er的風采,也體驗到台日親善交流的親切。2580地區為日本扶輪社首翹,日本全國的地區現任總監幾乎全員到齊祝賀,場面可觀!鈴木總監在懇親晚會時給我5分鐘的時間上台祝賀,第一次全程用日文公開演講更加拉進了彼此的距離,DGE鈴木喬致詞時加碼說他們會組一個20人的代表團參加我們地區的年會。

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year to everyone. Rotary club of Taipei Banga, the 10th sub-district, brought up the perfect ending to year of the Horse by role playing God of Wealth in community service. We now head to harvest year, year of the Ram. Rotary's 110th birthday, Feb 23rd, happened to be during the Chinese New Year this time. Human being lives rarely as long as 110 years old, but rotary club reaches it. Rotary club of Taipei was founded 67 years ago, and it's the base for almost 40,000 Rotarians in Taiwan now . For year of 20 14 - 15 , we ' re working on the goals of 15 new clubs and 15 satellite clubs with everyone's thought and mission together, just as Confucius' saying " Thirty is for a firm foundation".

February is "World Understanding Month". We organized an 11-member team with high efficiency to visit sister district D2580 during Chinese New Year. The trip began with a high-standard District Governor welcome party as soon as we arrived. Pleasant conversation with each other started successful friendship between districts. Our team attended the wholeconference, meeting RI Representative PP Er from D3520 Taiwan and experiencing the friendly interflow between Taiwan and Japan. D2580 is the leading district in Japan and almost all District Governors in Japan arrived to celebrate. What an impressive scene! DG Suzuki Takao arranged 5 minutes for me and it's the first time I gave a speech totally with Japanese to shorten the distance in between. In addition, DGE Suzuki Takashi promised a 20-member team for visiting D3480 district conference while giving his speech.

On Rotary's birthday, Feb 23rd, RIP Gary gathered 7 District Governors in Taiwan in his house to discuss events and appreciate our efforts. We took pride in his gratification of our achieving all promised goals for the year. A gift for RIP Gary from me is a silver coin of memorial chicken, meaning hen leading chicks, leading Taiwan to RI and the world. Gratitude and thankfulness fulfilled the lunch banquet, glass to glass, heart to heart.
