The Rotary Club of Richmond held its President's Ball for 2023-2024.
On June 19th, 2023, the Rotary Club of Richmond held its annual President's Ball. At the President's Ball, Rotary Club's install a new board and new President.
As we close out the 2023-2024 Rotary year, President Bill Lau and Co-President Suna Yee handed over the reigns to our new President, Jaqueline Ho, and President Elect Hugo Li.
Bill's term as President was full of achievements, including record membership, the Ipad project, a Humanitarian Relief Concert, and raising money for low-income seniors during Christmas. Our Lunar New Year Gala raised nearly $25,000, we are nearing our goal of raising enough money for the Outdoor fitness project, and after raising over $21,000, the Rotary Club of Richmond purchased 43 Ipads and donated them to community groups across the city.
Our club has never been bigger, and we are able to take on larger and larger projects.
Serving as President and Co-President takes time, dedication and sacrifice, and we thank Bill and Suna for all you did and for a great year!
The evening also featured the induction of three new members into the Rotary Club of Richmond growing our club to nearly 45 members. We were honored to have our District Governor, John Berry, to oversee the induction process. We inducted Carol Lee, Tirta Liu and Joanne Lau. Welcome to the Rotary Club of Richmond!

We are very excited about Jacqueline's upcoming term as President. Jacqueline joined Rotary in 2017 and has been an active Rotarian since then, playing key roles in the club including Treasurer, Secretary and District Treasurer. Jacqueline has been an instrumental player in all Rotary events since joining the club, and her term as President will doubt be a tremendous success!
Outside of Rotary, Jacqueline is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CGA) currently working in public practice accounting and with corporate leadership experience in media (radio), retail, and manufacturing industries.
Thank you to everyone for a wonderful evening!
