President's Message
 
 
I have great pleasure in acknowledging the incredible work of Kam Pow during his week's newsletter
 
In the year of 'Rotary Opens Doors' July 2020-2021, President Kam Pow certainly did this!
We could not have asked for a better Leader of our Club during COVID 19 Lockdowns, limited numbers at events, and other challenges which it created.
 
I am proud to dedicate this newsletter to 
President Kam Pow.  I am extremely grateful to Kam for his incredible work and the legacy he has left with our club. 
During the Rotary Centennial year, Kam was creative with everything he did 
He was a strong, determined, inspirational, and a truly empowering leader.
 
Kam defied all odds and ensured that COVID 19 didn't get in our way.
 His innovative Leadership will always be remembered and treasured.
Kam documented the entire year of his outstanding year as President in a Yearbook. 
 
 
 
On behalf of all members, I extend our most sincere thanks and gratitude to both Kam and his supportive wife, Christine.
Congratulations to them both on the recent arrival of their beautiful Grandson, and cousin to their gorgeous Granddaughters.
 
Kam and Christine are always welcome to join us at events, special occasions and social functions whenever possible.
 
On a personal note, Colin and I are every so proud to have Kam and his wonderful wife Christine as longtime friends.
 
Yours in Rotary,
Leanne
