The Rotary Club of Macau’s joint installation ceremony was held on Saturday at the Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Centre for their new leaders.
New club leaders were welcomed from the Rotary Club of Macau, Rotaract Club of Macau, Rotaract Club of University of Macau Students’ Union, Interact Club of St. Paul School of Macau, and Interact Club of the International School of Macau, a statement from the Rotary Club of Macau yesterday noted. The statement added that this Rotary year’s theme is “Create Lasting Impact”.
In his speech, outgoing 79th President of the Rotary Club of Macau Denis Iec (易啟楠) noted the club’s projects and achievements, pointing out two milestones. First among them is empowering special-needs service beneficiaries, highlighting that they presented “a unique fashion show featuring garments crafted from upcycled and recycled materials”.
The second achievement is the successful charter of the Interact Club of the International School of Macao, with Iec noting: “Launching this new youth service club plants a vital seed for the next generation of changemakers in our community”, Iec said.
Meanwhile, incoming 80th President of the Rotary Club of Macau José Alves was quoted by the statement as saying: “As we step into this new Rotary year, Macau stands at a uniquely powerful crossroads – not only for commerce and cultural exchange between East and West, but most importantly, for humanitarian service”.
Moreover, a 15,000-pataca donation was made during the ceremony to support activities at long-time Rotary Club of Macau beneficiary Concordia School for Special Education, the statement said, with the cheque presented by Alves.
The new leaders are Rotaract Club of Macau President Cherry Ng (吳婷誼); President of the Rotaract Club of the University of Macau Students’s Union Daisy Leong (梁伊彤); while the two youngest new presidents at the joint installation were Jolin Cheang (鄭卓甯) of the Interact Club of St. Paul School of Macau, and Jasmine Chua (蔡慧琳) of the Interact Club of the International School of Macao.
