In addition, Past President Angela shared that she has formed a dedicated team to work on the Club’s 40th Anniversary Party, an exciting milestone that members look forward to celebrating together. The Assembly was both productive and encouraging, setting a clear direction for the year ahead while reinforcing the Club’s spirit of collaboration and service.
On April 18, members of our Club attended District’s Club Leadership Learning Seminar, previously known as the District Training Assembly.

During the seminar, members gained insights into the new presidential message for the Rotary Year 2026–27, as well as Governor Elect Jimmy’s priorities and vision for the District. The sessions provided valuable perspectives on leadership, service, and the evolving direction of Rotary. Notably, Past President Lily led one of the breakout sessions and also served as a panelist during an afternoon plenary session, contributing her experience and expertise to fellow Rotarians.
