Dear Fellow Rotarians and Friends, ፋฌٙҧቃٟࡰձ؃ʾࡁj
As I reflect on my 47 years of Rotary ຅ҢΫᚥ̬ɤɖϋٙҧቃ؂ਕ຾ዝࣛdҢࡁίɓৎ

pride and gratitude for the remarkable ຾ዝڢɭٙࣚ೻ʕdᜫҢชᙃܘଉdʫː̂တІႴձೌ
journey we’ve undertaken together. It all ࠢชዧfவɓʲ੽1981ϋක֐d຅ࣛҢϞֱዄ΂̨̏ҧ
began in 1981 when I had the privilege ቃٟਓٟڗdίԟݬࣛගʫdҢ஗΂նዄ΂ɓࡈतйٙ
of serving as the Vice President of the ԉЍdவਗ਼া༱ഹɓࡈจ່ࠠɽٙࣚ೻--ϓމ̨ᝄ࠯֣
Rotary Club of Taipei. During that time, I
was appointed to a special role, one that ˴፬ҧቃ޼୦ึᘪ௪ึ।ࣣfίۃᐼ္௓τຩPDG AK
would mark the beginning of a significant ChenϞჃԈٙჯኬɨdމуਗ਼ࠅ೯͛ࠠɽԫઋఢ֛əԄ
journey - I became the Secretary of the Organizing Committee λٙਿᓾf
for the first-ever Rotary Institute held in Taiwan. Under the
visionary leadership of PDG AK Chen, this momentous event ੽ԟࣛৎdҢࡁϞֱ˴፬əՇ̨֣̏ҧቃ޼୦ึd
laid the foundation for what was to come.

Since then, we’ve had the honor of hosting two Rotary 2002ʿ2005 ϋ˴፬əՇ֣਷ყҧቃٟڗึᙄdҢዹत

Convener on both occasions. Additionally, Taiwan has been Ϟֱዄ΂˴ࢩf್ϾהϞவԬഹΤٙҧቃึᙄݺਗίശ
proud to host two RI Presidential Conferences in 2002 and ᘆ̨ٙ̏෥ʆඵֳᑘБf
