As we enter the 63rd year of service in RY 2023-24, I am honoured to write this foreword for the Rotary Club of Petaling Jaya, a club that stands as a beacon of prestige. Over the years, our club's success has been nurtured by strong leadership, a well-organised structure, the bonds of fellowship, and an unwavering commitment to serve. We are more than just a club; we are a family, united by our shared values and dedication to embodying the Rotary Spirit of Service Above Self.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our Past Presidents, whose contributions and values havebecome an integral part of our club's culture. As we navigate the changing times, we will adapt and evolve while staying true to our traditions and maintaining our positive impact in the community.
This year, our focus is aligned with the Rotary International theme of ‘To Create Hope in the World.’ As Rotarians, we are inspired to bring hope to those in need through the projects we undertake. In the coming year, we will prioritise initiatives that promote mental health, water sanitation, community policing for peacebuilding, and empowering girls, in addition to continuing our signature projects. We express our deep gratitude to all our partners, including Rotaractors, sponsors, and contributors, for their unwavering support in furthering our cause.
