RI President’s representative

          

District Governor Alex, Mayor Hon. Feliciano Belmonte, Jr., my dear fellow Rotarians,
Good Morning!  
It's wonderful to see all of you. All of your exhibits touched my heart deeply.
Your programs were creative and innovative.
I was very impressed with the great show of warmth displayed.
I must say that your achievements have moved me. Your giving and generosity has allowed me to understand the true meaning of rotary.
I am very proud to be part of this.
I have also learned from you that Rotary means more than just donations of money but also the sharing of time, wisdom, commitment, care and effort with others in the world.
From your service please know that "What is important is how much of yourself you put into the giving.
That is what makes the living sublime."
After these exhibits I will continue to keep sharing my time and talents to help improve the quality of the lives of others with the help of Rotary.
Just as all of you do now. And last but not least, on behalf of our RI President DK Lee, I THANK each one of you for your hard work, expertise and dedication to the future of our great organization called Rotary.
Thank you!
