Greeting #20

Hafa Adai, Pago Bay Guam Rotarians!
 
The Pacific Basin Group Rotary Clubs were busy this month with official Rotary business. This began with an official visit from District Governor Sakamoto including individual Club meetings.  Thank you to Secretary Kris and Treasurer Zeny for representing our eClub.
 
On Wednesday and Thursday, Secretary Kris and I participated in the Pacific Basin Group meeting with District 2750 Foundation Members. During this one and a half day seminar we shared our planned service projects and learned more about district funding and global funding opportunities. At our next officers’ meeting we hope to identify key service projects for which we will seek funding.
