DISTRICT GOVERNOR VISIT.

The highest post in any Rotary District is The District Governor post. One of the job that is expected of Distinct Governor is to visit each club in his district at least once during his tenure ship. That is quite an incredible task considering an average district has more than 70 clubs. So it was indeed an auspicious occasion for members of Rotary Club of Kampong Baharu when District Governor Dr.Joseph Rejendran (Joe) visited them on the 12Th of March 2008.
DG Joe arrived early for the function accompanied by Assistant Governor Group 5, Dr.William Lau. The venue for the meeting was moved to Maju Restaurant, Maju Junction in order to accommodate the bigger crowd expected. DG Joe gave a rousing speech how to keep Rotary movement relevant to the society. The Rotarymission to eradicate polio on this earth received a boost by US100M contribution from Bill Gates of Microsoft. He challenged all Rotarian to raise another US100M to match his contribution. A challenge that was gladly accepted by Rotarian and will receive major focus in the next few years. In conjunction with the visit RCKB inducted another new Rotarian, Puan Azalea Abdul Wahab, who become RCKB 15th member.
