A Century of
Service:
The Official Story of Rotary International |
|
|
 As
the Rotary Centennial approaches, Rotarians can look
forward to a new RI publication,
A Century of Service: The Story
of Rotary International.
The official book of the Rotary Centennial was released in
English at the International Assembly in early 2004, to be
followed by its release in other official Rotary languages
by 1st July 2004. The 384 page volume features a wealth of
Rotary facts, figures, and trivia as well as never before
published photographs. Those who pre order the book
(publication number 913-EN) by 31st March will receive a
free CD. The book will also be available for purchase at
the RI Convention in Osaka. It can also be ordered via a
faxable order form or by contacting the Publication Order
Services or your nearest Rotary International office. |

1. 17 members were reasonably satisfied with Grand
Copthorne's venue, food quality and service.
2. 19 members were
NOT
prepared to pay $31.
3. 23 members preferred a less elaborate menu ie $26. |

4. 22 members
preferred our regular luncheon meeting be held at a hotel with a
price range of between $26-$31.
5. Other venues suggested by members include: (a) Swissotel at
Raffles City, (b) Jurong Country Club, (c) Raffles Town Club, (d)
The Pines
From the
survey, it was concluded that there was an obvious preference for
most members to remain in the same hotel but at a lower price.
In view of the above, PE KK Tan proceeded and has managed to secure
a lunch package from Grand Copthorne for $25 nett per person for a
minimum of 25 persons. The lunch includes 3 items for the cold
selection, 1 soup, 4 hot and 3 dessert items. Other benefits include
complimentary use of rostrum with microphone, use of overhead or
slide projector, whiteboard, flipchart, etc. |
