The sessions were highly interactive and many innovative and progressive ideas were put forward by the Rotarians present. These were a group of dedicated and committed Rotarians who sacrificed their day of leisure (Sunday) to make Rotary greater in their communities.
The first session was presented by me and entitled “The
Rotary Way." I was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and
appreciation shown by the Rotarians for this presentation
and I hope that the inspiration provided to you will spark
greater growth in your clubs.
This was followed by a great presentation by PDG Leslie who
shared some vital points and pointers with those present. His
presentation was titled - "A Custom Approach to
Membership Development". I must say that PDG Leslie is a
very committed and valued Advisor to our MDR Committee
and we have benefitted greatly from his positive
input. PDG Leslie also conducted a Membership Action Plan
Round Table discussion that saw some very interesting
discussions.
After lunch we had a very interesting Panel session – “What’s Breaking Up Rotary?” moderated by PP Ronnie Tan. The topics under discussion were:
1. “Negative External Influences” – IPP Shamrat Sen Gupta
2. “Infighting, Conflicts and Other Cancers” – PP Cheang
3. “The Politics of Rotary” – PP Ricky Ch’ng
The next panel session focussed on – “What’s so great about Rotary?” moderated by PDG Dato’ Bill Ng. It was a great session and we all benefitted from the experience and wisdom of PDG Bill. The topics under discussion were:
1. "My Rotary Journey” – PDG Dr Santokh Sing
2. “The Great Rotary Fellowship” – AG Dr Baskaran
3. “Friends Around The World” – AG Ananda Pillai
All round I think the Penang MAPS was a resounding success and we head next to Ipoh for the MAPS for Perak clubs. See you October 23rd in Ipoh. For further details contact PP Amy Chin from RC Metro Ipoh.
