President Aaron wants RCRC to be indisputably best club for fellowship

President Aaron Tan PHF

In a recent interview with the Bulletin Editor, President Aaron stressed the importance of fellowship as the critical factor in the growth of the club.”My earnest intention this Rotary Year is to bring our fellowship to the highest level thereby making RCRC the most reputable club for fellowship in Singapore .” says President Aaron. “We have many active seasoned Rotarians plus a good blend of new, younger and more internationally diverse Rotarians who joined us recently. We need to tap their time, expertise and spirit of volunteerism in order to accelerate the growth of the club. To do this, we need to be very inclusive, make everyone feel part of the RCRC family as well as harness the fellowship that our club is reputed for. Fellowship is the lubricant that will smoothen the rotation of the Rotary wheel.” stresses President Aaron. He continues, “This year’s theme for Rotary International is ‘Reach Within to Embrace Humanity'. I therefore urge every Rotarian in our club to reach within to reach out to embrace humanity; with stronger bonding and fellowship, we can organize projects that will have far greater impact on our community this year.”

First RCRC meeting  on 5th July 2011 - a strong call for

‘Reach Within to Embrace Humanity’

The first meeting on 5th July was a great booster to this year’s RI theme. Our guest speaker Zileena Doctor gave a talk on I-India -Street Child Project in India. It was a great turn out. Three tables were filled up ! Everyone present seemed upbeat as reflected by a substantial sunshine collection of $550!  The club donated the proceeds to I-India – which was graciously accepted by Zileena Doctor .
