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! The evening concluded with the installation of our new Board and President. 2023-2024 Rotary Club of Richmond Board of Directors: Jacqueline Ho President Hugo Li President Elect Bill Lau Past President Suna Yee Past President Joseph Liang Secretary, Leah Cheyne Co-Secretary Yuhan Chen Treasurer Dean Hsieh Foundation Jimmy Yan - Service Project and Program Chair Zach Segal - Edith and co chair of Public Relation Madeline Executive Secretary and Sergeant – at – Arms Chantelle Roy David Xin Keith Tsukishima We are very excited about Jacqueline's upcoming term as President.
