There were quite a few empty seats last Wednesday (18 June) and the news must have gotten<br />
around that some <strong>of</strong> the <strong>club</strong> <strong>directors</strong> were to present their <strong>year</strong>-<strong>end</strong> <strong>reports</strong>. Perhaps some <strong>of</strong><br />
our members were too busy in their jobs, maybe others just couldn't be bothered, some may<br />
have suffered from too much Euro2008 exposure and yet others may have been queuing up for<br />
tickets to got to Genting for the Osmond concert.......who knows?<br />

Those Rotarians who found the time to att<strong>end</strong> our weekly lunch meeting listened to <strong>reports</strong> from<br />
Hon. Secretary Horst Wippern and Hon. Treasurer Wong Cham Mew and since regrettably a few<br />
other <strong>directors</strong> were unable to present their <strong>reports</strong> in person, it was left to President Attan to<br />
read them out. This led PDG Mustapha Ma to remark that it was the first time in his many <strong>year</strong>s<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Rotary</strong> that the President had to present the <strong>reports</strong> on behalf <strong>of</strong> so many <strong>directors</strong>. Well, you<br />
draw your own conclusions......<br />
Next Wednesday (25 June) it is <strong>of</strong> course President Attan's turn to present a wrap-up <strong>of</strong> 'his <strong>year</strong>'<br />
in what sometimes is referred to a 'the president's swan song'.<br />
All <strong>reports</strong> will <strong>of</strong> course be reproduced in the souvenir magazine for the upcoming 81st<br />
installation dinner on 29 June 2008.<br />

THE WORLD OF ROTARY INTERNATIONAL<br />
Centenarian Stays Active with <strong>Rotary</strong> Project<br />
Two things keep Henry Tseng, who turns 101 on 12 July, active: a 6:30 a.m.<br />
exercise class at the local YMCA six days a week and his weekly <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>club</strong><br />
meeting. He’s a regular at both.<br />
“If I don’t show up, people worry about me,” says Tseng, a member <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Rotary</strong><br />
<strong>Club</strong> <strong>of</strong> Westwood Village (Los Angeles), California.<br />
Tseng, a past president <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>of</strong> Hong Kong who immigrated to the<br />
United States in 1969, was at the RI Convention in L.A. last week to promote a<br />
partnership project with the YMCA that helps people with Parkinson’s disease.<br />
The project began in 1996 as an act <strong>of</strong> fri<strong>end</strong>ship between Tseng and fellow <strong>club</strong><br />
member Wally Fischmann. When Fischmann was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, he<br />
became despondent and wouldn’t leave his house. Tseng’s <strong>club</strong> worked with the<br />
Westside YMCA and medical experts at the University <strong>of</strong> California, Los Angeles to<br />
create the Parkinsonians Learning Lifelong Useful Skills (PLLUS). The specialized<br />
fitness program focuses on helping Parkinson’s patients improve flexibility, posture,<br />
and functional mobility while providing an opportunity for patients to stay active and<br />
social.<br />
Henry Tseng, who will be 101 in July,<br />
att<strong>end</strong>ed the<br />
99th annual RI Convention.<br />
Starting one local class wasn’t enough for Tseng, who has taken the project to booths at <strong>Rotary</strong> conventions in Buenos Aires,<br />
Singapore, and Chicago. Today, there are more than 25 PLLUS programs at YMCAs around the world.<br />
“<strong>Rotary</strong> gets the word out,” says Ann Samsen, executive director <strong>of</strong> the Westside YMCA. “I love <strong>Rotary</strong>, we all do. <strong>Rotary</strong><br />
opens lots <strong>of</strong> doors.”<br />
Samsen says the YMCA will provide $5,000 in start-up funds to any <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>club</strong> that would like to start a PLLUS program at<br />
their local YMCA.<br />
