Jesus M. Pineda, President Elect, Rotary Club of Manila, 543 Arquiza cor, Grey Street, Ermita Manila City, Philippines

Dear Mr. Jesus M. Pineda,

We would like to invite you and your Rotarians to our Rotary Club of Taipei 70th charter on December 3, 2018 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Taipei. It will be our honor to have our sister club Rotarians to join us for this special celebration. It will be a monumental event for our club as 70th year is a big birthday in Taiwanese tradition. I will be also be the first female president of our rotary club in 70 years.

Rotary Club of Taipei is the first club in Taiwan, ROC, which was chartered on October 9, 1948 by C.K. Yen, who was the former President of the Republic of China. We have around 100 members including honorary members from over 20 nationalities. Our club is extremely proud that our own member, Gary Huang, was the Rotary International President 2014-15.

We are very honor that our own PRIP Gary and the Rotary International President Elect Mark Maloney will be joining us on this special occasion. We hope we will also have the honor to have you and your Rotarians as our guests for our 70th charter. Please kindly confirm your acceptance for the event. We have secured a special room rate with the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Please contact our club for any question or help with arrangements. We hope to see you in Taipei soon. Thank you for your consideration.

Yours in Rotary, Shirley Ting, President Elect, Rotary Club of Taipei

For our fellow Manila Rotarians interested in attending, please get in touch with our Secretariat at 5271886/5271887 or coordinate with Chairman PD Ed Lee.
