Beijing Rotary Club: active members

Our Club can be said proudly, is active. So are many of its members. Recording all events would be too much so I select some.
Every month we have a birthday cake for the members who have their birthday that month (I have birthday EVERY month and steal a big slice for Valerie).

See above on 17 October 2006 the ambassador from Kuwait, Mr. Faisal R. Al-Ghais giving a presentation on the former occupation of Kuwait by Iraq while the present ambassador of Iraq, Dr. Mohammad Sabeir Ismail (left) approvingly listens.
Indeed, the Club is non-political and everybody is a welcome guest. In the past we also had the ambassador from Israel.

We also have our Fellowship Events, on 21 October 2006 our Brazilian friend Norton Seng Santos took us to Paulaner Brauhaus in the Kempinski for the Oktober Bierfest. Ja, sehr gut!
We all had lots of fun and it was a bit strange to realize this was Beijing and not Munchen.

Some of our members are also frequent public speakers.

Here is Russ Miller talking to the Danish Chamber of Commerce, on 24 August 2006. He’s a great entertainer and knows how to transmit his China experience.

Of course, Jörg Wuttke is everywhere. here he is making a presentation to BENCHAM on 17 October 2006 (The Benelux Chamber of commerce). Poor Jörg had to face a breakdown of Bencham’s laptop and the projector went dead. Turned out a welcome change – the speaker gave an improvised talk and did wonderfully. Maybe next time we should hope the projector goes dead again.
