Dear fellow People of Action,

As our Rotary year draws to a close, this is a meaningful moment to look back on all we have achieved together. I am deeply grateful for your dedication and for the many ways you have embodied the spirit of “Service Above Self.”

June is Rotary Fellowships Month—a time to celebrate the international friendships and global connections that bind Rotarians together. With the RI Convention held in Taipei this month, it was a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow Rotarians from around the world. I was delighted to see many of our club members visiting their sister clubs in Taipei and sharing moments of fellowship and joy.

A total of 283 Rotarians from District 3450 registered for the Convention—a remarkable showing that reflects our district’s enthusiasm. The programme was inspiring and enriching, featuring thought-provoking plenary sessions, impactful service showcases, and invaluable networking opportunities. It was a truly rewarding experience.

While in Taipei, we hosted the Governor’s Banquet on June 15 under the theme “Body, Mind & Soul—Grateful for Our Journey,” with nearly 300 guests joining us for a wonderful evening of celebration. My heartfelt thanks go to the hard-working Presidents Convenors Team, and to my dear Chief District Secretary, Alexander Cheung, for his wholehearted support throughout the year. My gratitude also extends to all Rotarians whose support made this event possible.

On June 19, we made history by hosting the first-ever Rotary Cup Dragon Boat Competition at the Shatin Dragon Boat Festival, with six teams competing. This was our District’s final sports, wellness, and fellowship event of the year, bringing our Rotary term to a memorable close. The races were broadcast live on TVB, giving Rotary valuable exposure and allowing the public to share in the excitement. Even from the shore, we could feel the energy and team spirit—it was a wonderful celebration of teamwork and camaraderie.

On June 23, we held our final Joint Presidents Meeting, with over 160 Presidents and Presidents-Elect in attendance. I am pleased to report that 97 out of 122 clubs submitted their District Award, allowing us to recognise their activity and contributions throughout the year. Certificates were presented to honour each club’s hard work and dedication—not just as recognition, but as a testament to the collective effort and time invested by every club in serving our communities.

Unexpectedly, this month remained as busy as ever. We made two significant donations: HK$400,000 to the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) to support their Wang Fok Court services, and HK$350,000 to the VTC Student Scholarship, continuing the scholarship programme that Rotary D3450 has championed since 2015 to help students improve their lives and achieve their career aspirations.

We are also grateful for the Department of Justice inviting Rotary to participate in the “Train-the-Leaders Programme on Rule of Law Education (ROLE)“ on June 26–27, with 30 Rotarians attending. This served as the final district event of our Rotary year. The two-day course was accessible and engaging, bringing legal concepts into everyday life for participants of all ages. It was a unique opportunity for Rotarians and Lions to sit together with community leaders from all 18 districts, learning and exchanging ideas. I was delighted to see our members fully engaged throughout the programme, and I look forward to seeing this new cohort of “ROLE Ambassadors” share legal knowledge with our communities, helping more people understand and respect the rule of law.

Finally, clubs are reminded to complete their Club Excellence Award goals and report their achievements in Rotary Club Central by 30 June.

As I bring this letter to a close, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Through service, fellowship, membership development, Foundation support, public image, and through moments of both challenge and joy, you have given so generously to our Rotary family. Together, we have strengthened our District and served our communities with warmth, professionalism, and purpose. The spirit of “Unite for Good” must carry on as we continue to work together to create lasting impact in our community and beyond.

In fellowship we serve,

DG Cassy Cheng

親愛的扶輪行動夥伴們：

扶輪年度即將圓滿落幕，此刻正是我們回顧這一年點點滴滴的最佳時機。我由衷感謝每一位社友的無私奉獻，以及大家身體力行「超我服務」精神的種種努力。

六月是「扶輪友誼月」，透過國際友誼、全球網絡與人際連結，將各地社友緊緊相繫。本月適逢國際扶輪年會在台北舉行，正是我們與世界各地的扶輪夥伴交流聯誼的好機會。我很高興看到許多社友趁著年會期間造訪台北的姊妹社，共敘情誼。

這次年會，3450地區共有283位社友報名參加，亮眼的人數充分展現了本地區的熱情與活力。年會議程精彩充實，從發人深省的專題演講，到服務成果分享與國際交流，對所有與會者來說都是收穫滿滿的體驗。

年會期間，我們於6月15日舉辦了總監晚宴，近300位來賓共襄盛舉，歡聚一堂。我特別要向盡心盡力的社長召集小組，以及全年全力支持我的首席地區秘書長張宇靈，致上最誠摯的謝意。

6月19日，我們在沙田龍舟節寫下歷史新頁——首度舉辦「扶輪盃」龍舟比賽，共有六支隊伍參賽。這是3450地區本年度最後一場「身心靈」活動，為這個扶輪年度畫下精彩難忘的句點。賽事在電視上直播，讓公眾感受現場的熱血沸騰，也為扶輪增加了曝光。我們在岸邊為選手們吶喊加油的同時，也感受到隊伍的團結與活力，這充分展現了團隊合作與深厚情誼。

6月23日舉行了本年度最後一次社長聯合會議，超過160位現任社長及候任社長出席。在122個扶輪社中，有97個提交了年度服務成績報告，讓我們清楚掌握各社整年的活躍表現。當晚我們也頒發了證書，表彰各社一年來的耕耘與付出，這些獎項不僅是肯定，更是每個扶輪社齊心協力、用時間與行動寫下的服務見證。

原以為進入月尾工作會逐漸緩和，沒想到六月依然馬不停蹄。我們完成了兩筆重要的捐款：向香港社會服務聯會（HKCSS）捐贈港幣40萬元以支持宏福苑的持續服務；向職業訓練局（VTC）學生獎學金捐贈港幣35萬元，延續3450地區自2015年起對職訓局獎學金的支持，幫助學生改善生活、實現職業夢想。

感謝律政司的邀請，30位社友於6月26至27日參加了「傳承共建 法治社會」法治教育領袖培訓課程，亦是3450地區本年度壓軸的地區活動。兩天課程深入淺出，將法治概念融入生活，讓不同年齡層都能聽得明白，難得的是獅子會與扶輪社友同坐一堂，與18區社區領袖共同學習交流。看到社友們全程投入，深感欣慰，期待這批「ROLE法治大使」能將法治知識帶進社區，讓更多人認識與尊重司法制度。

最後，提醒各扶輪社務必於6月30日前，在「扶輪中心」完成「扶輪社卓越獎」的目標設定與成果匯報。

行筆至此，我要再次向每一位社友致以最深的謝意。這一年來，無論是服務、聯誼、社員發展、支持扶輪基金或公共形象的推動，乃至於面對挑戰與歡樂的每一刻，大家都對這個扶輪大家庭慷慨付出。我們攜手同心，以溫暖、專業與明確的目標，強化了本地區的凝聚力，也讓社區因我們而變得更好。團結行善的精神必須延續，讓我們繼續並肩前行，為社區和更廣闊的世界創造持久深遠的影響。

行善天下，永續扶輪
