PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE
Warmest greetings my fellow Rotarians and Rotary Friends,
We started the month of July 2015 all refreshed and renewed for the new Rotary
term, kicking off with our Installation Night themed “The Mad Hatters Night” on
4th July 2015 at Empire Hotel Subang.
We had more than 200 guests on that night with DG Siti Subaidah gracing the
event as our Guest of Honor. We were also honored with the presence of our sister
club RC Makati Olympia (RCMO) members who came all the way from the
Philippines to join us in our celebration. We were meeting most of the Olympians
for the first time but we definitely didn’t feel like strangers but more like long lost
buddies meeting up after a long time. We bonded immediately and found many
common factors between us that we could relate to instantly. Thank you RCMO for
being there for us and we hoped you had an enjoyable stay in Kuala Lumpur and lots
of memories to cherish.
Of course also not forgetting to thank all the ladies of RC Subang for the wonderful dance performances during the
Installation night that left many mesmerized by the sexy shakes and moves and our very own Emcees - Rtn Subbarao
and Rtn Tharmendra who took the stage by storm. Overall the event was a success with all members of RC Subang
playing their part to ensure everything went smoothly and without any glitch. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Without much rest, we embarked on our next activity which was the Interact Leadership Training Seminar held on 11th
July 2015 at Sri UCSI Secondary School for our Interactors. We had a total of over 50 Interactors from our Interact
Clubs of Sri UCSI, SMK Subang Jaya, SMK Sri Permata and SMK Taman SEA and also Interactors from sponsoring
clubs of RC Puchong Centennial and RC Damansara West. Special thanks to the Organising Committee comprising of
RC Subang and RAC Subang members who worked tirelessly to ensure the Interactors received all the information
required to run their Club efficiently and effectively. Kudos to all of you.
Still full of energy, we proceeded to join venture with the Malaysian Ceylonese Association of Sri Petaling to create
awareness on literacy by collection used and good conditioned books to be resold to fund literacy programs for the poor
and needy children. We again worked together with RAC Subang and volunteered our services during the Book Fair at
The Atmosphere, Seri Kembangan on 26th July 2015 together with our Rotaractors.
Are we tired from doing all these? No!! In fact we are bustling with energy to move ahead and continue to serve the
community and the needy. That’s the beauty of being in Rotary and Yes!! We are indeed Proud To Be a Rotarian and to
Be A Gift To The World.
In Rotary Service,
President Shirley Hoe

Are you a Rotary superhero?
By Evan Burrell, a member of the Rotary Club of Turramurra, New South
Wales, Australia, and a regular contributor
I’m sure that, as a child, you had a favorite superhero. Maybe it was Batman or
Superman or Wonder Woman or even Spiderman, weaving webs or leaping
tall buildings in a single bound to help those in need.
Now that we’re older, we know all too well that that sort of superhero is hard to
find. But do you know the easiest place to find modern-day superheroes? Your
local Rotary club! And they don’t even hide behind a secret identity.
Much like our comic book counterparts, Rotary members are regular people
who go about their daily lives until “the call comes in.”
Through our membership in Rotary, we are able to make a difference in many different ways.
Recently, Rotarians joined other volunteers in immunizing thousands of children against polio during a oneday End Polio Now immunization drive in Pakistan. Rotary superheroes leapt to action in Gujarat, India,
launching a program to put books into the hands of children from low-income families. Other superheroes
formed a new Rotarian Action Group aimed at protecting the world’s most endangered species. Several
years ago, Rotary heroes in the New England region of the United States provided long-term recovery
assistance to those affected by Tropical Storm Irene.
Being members of a Rotary club, we have the power to lead by example and become role models for others
through our integrity and willingness to help those in need.
Accomplishing all these heroic acts requires willing minds and willing hearts. That’s what enables ordinary
people to achieve extraordinary results. Our children, our friends, our partners, our community — anyone we
interact with can be inspired in some small way by our actions and deeds.
Superheroes don’t just exist in comic books or movies. And luckily, we don’t need to put on a cape to be
effective. Each of us, through Rotary, has the power to do good in the world and to make a difference in the
lives of others.
Rotarians are truly modern-day superheroes! How are you making a difference through Rotary? Are you a
Rotary superhero?

An Important Milestone
This 24 July marks one year since
Nigeria’s last case of wild poliovirus.
That’s the longest period the country has
gone without a case of the dis- ease.
This achievement has particular
significance, because Nigeria is one of
only three countries in the world in
which polio is still endemic. When the
disease is eradicated in Nigeria,
Pakistan, and Afghanistan, the world
will be free of polio.
A few weeks later, 11 August will mark one year since the last case of polio in
Africa: a case in Somalia that came at the end of an outbreak in the Horn of Africa.
Africa’s countries have overcome significant challenges — including lack of security
and difficulty reaching children in remote places — to protect their children from
polio.
Rotary has played an important role in reaching these milestones.
Rotarians have dedicated their time and their personal resources to keep children safe
from this disease by immunizing them, donating money, raising funds, and urging
governments to support the cause. Rotary has donated $688.5 million to fight polio
throughout Africa, including more than $200 million designated for Nigeria.
While this is notable progress, we haven’t finished the job yet.
