A touching moment was noted when Rtn Janet and Mario, in responding to President KC pledge for ‘ Every Rotarian, Every Year ‘ should contribute to Rotary Foundation Fund at least USD100 , each took out a USD 100 dollar note to show their immediate support. KC showed his appreciation with a song cleverly changed to suit the occasion. It’s a pity that I did not tape the video in time. Nonetheless, we have requested for an encore of KC singing in coming Aug 29 social night . So you wouldn’t want to miss this if you have not yet signed up for this event.
Last but not the least, thanks to PP Fatima’s sharing, the exciting Fuhong ‘ Huge Soap Mosaic’ Guinness Record-breaking event was broadcast online and here’s the link for those who miss the program or the event. http://new.tdm.com.mo/c_video/play_video.php?id=15179.
