GUEST SPEAKER PRESENTATION
DG Al Purwa.
So far he has visited 36 clubs with over 50 still on this agenda. Every club is different. Rather of having more clubs he wants every club to grow bigger and be better and bolder. He reminded to take care of timely regeneration focusing on young Indonesian women familiar with modern communication tools . He calls them netizens. He recommends to add several new members at a time so that they ñas a group- can be better integrated into the club. There must be friendship in a club, without friendship a club will be doomed.
He thinks RCBND a vibrant club, better than many others. Given its fund raising capacity he believes the club should pursue a large, high impact project, easy to see and workable long term. Be bold, think big.
Join forces with others. As sample he gave the Bali Blood Bank. The result can been seen at Sangla hospital.
Seeing the banners of so many clubs decorating our meeting room he said: “When you need funds for a project write to them, many will be prepared to give.” President Bruce Jellard thanked the governor for his words and for visiting our club. The club will make an all out effort attempting to share his vision.
