ROTARY IN CHINA - 2006 |
Effective Feb. 8, 2006, the
official club charters were signed for both the Beijing and
Shanghai clubs. The actual charter events will be May 21 for
Beijing and May 22 for Shanghai. These chartering events are
scheduled to align with RIP Carl-Wilhem’s travel agenda, as
the President will attend in May.
A district “type” leadership
team called the RI Special Representative Committee has been
formed, reporting to RI Special Representative Christopher
Bo Bramsen. The team is made up of Rotarians from RI,
District 3450, Beijing and Shanghai clubs.
I am a member of the new
Rotary China Team and will serve as the Rotary Foundation
Chair, representing both clubs. Dr. Lee Wah Hin from the
Shanghai club will serve as vice-chair. The individual clubs
will have their own foundation representatives as well. This
will be true of all support areas, similar to that of a
district.
The membership of both clubs
must be made up of non-PRC citizens. However, Beijing has
two Chinese citizens as honorary members (we informed the
government before doing so) as well as a Chinese citizen
that works for the Beijing club and the new Rotary China
Team.
Members of the two clubs are
primarily businessmen/women, diplomats and professionals.
There are members from countries all over the world
representing many different ethnic and religious
backgrounds. Both clubs have a high percentage of ethnic
Chinese members. They may hold passports from any country
and region in the world, including Hong Kong, Macau and
Taiwan and be official members.
