Speech to District 3780 Conference

March 21 2009

DISCON Evaluation

Wei-Lin “Dens” Shao

RI President’s Representative

I like wine, especially red wine. My favorite red wine is Bordeaux from France. The quality of Bordeaux red wine depends on 4 elements, “vintage, AOC, age and class”.

We can also use these 4 elements to judge your DISCON.

1.  Vintage –

• 2009 is a good year for a RI President from the east and an outstanding year for DG Alex.

• So, it’s a good vintage for this district.

2.  AOC ( it means appellation origin control)–

• District 3780 has a wonderful origin.

• It is located in the heart of the Philippines, with warm sunshine and warm friendship.

• This is a great place, so it has a great AOC.

3.  Age –

• This district is 19 years old. It’s a mature age, old enough for us to know how to share our wisdom, how to share our wealth, how to share our power and how to share our enterprise.

4.  Class –

• The class for red wine is rated as, “good, very good, excellent and outstanding”.

• In the past few days, this DISCON has impressed me very much.

• Now on behalf of President D K Lee to evaluate this DISCON, using the same criteria.

• I never think about “Good”, and “Very Good” isn’t suitable.

• I would like to say that “excellent” is not enough for me to describe this fantastic district.

• What do you think would be the perfect word for this successful DISCON?

• My answer is “Outstanding”

• Your District has many fantastic special programs & it is an outstanding District,

• Your District has a very humble, distinguished and honorable Aid, PDG Bobby, who has made our visit to your district a very pleasant and memorable experience.

• Thank you! PDG Bobby.

• We are talking about those fantastic special programs & this outstanding District & a very humble, distinguished and honorable Aid, PDG Bobby.

• Last but not least I want to make sure that your district does have a wonderful leader.

• So let me ask all of you this. Is your District Governor Alex a wonderful leader?

• If yes, Please give him a big hand.

• District Governor Alex from now on you are really leading your District.

• Now I have to say the 2009 DISCON is an outstanding district conference.
