|Hello GSE| 62.01 Ann Hanks GSE Outbound Chair D7690

gse3500taiwan — Mon, 26 May 2008 16:32:31 +0000

Ann Hanks, GSE Outbound Chair for D7690 Piedmont, NC, was amazingly efficient that she started communicated with me, Rtn Language, by sending e-Mail in early since November 19, 2007. Actually it was shortly after PDG Phil and Karen of D7690 just returned home in Highpoint, NC, from Taipei upon completion of their Friendship Exchange program. Phil and Karen met me in Taipei in the later part of last October and took a photo picture of me at the dinner party hosted by DG C.T. Wu, D3480 Taipei. From then on Ann kept sending e-mail in digging into every detail of our GSE Team and she would not stop until she could make sure everything was done to the schedule – I believe she drew up that schedule long time ahead.

|Hello GSE| 70.35 How many GSE Team Leaders in Rotary Club of Taoyuan?

gse3500taiwan — Sun, 25 May 2008 10:14:11 +0000

[GSE 3500 PP Language]

In the history of Taoyuan Rotary Club how many GSE Team Leaders are there since its charter on November 6, 1961? One, two, or three, or more? ”Three.” Yes! Your right – exactly three, they are: PP Charles Tsai, PP OBS (Robert Hsu), and IPP Language (Vincent Lu).

PP Charles served as GSE Team Leader quite early when Taoyuan Rotary Club was one of the member clubs in District 345 - during that time Rotary clubs in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao were in the same district – D345. PP OBS Robert served as GSE Team Leader shortly after Taoyuan Rotary Club became a member of D3500 covering Northwest region of Taiwan, i.e. Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli counties. And IPP Language is currently serving as 2007-2008 GSE Team Leader and working busily on the Report of GSE Team Visit to D7690 Pidmont, NC, USA between March 28 – April 28, 2008.

So, how many GSE Leaders are there in your Club? Would you share your experiences with us?

GSE team members may live in five or six homes in another country and thus establish friendships that last a lifetime.Today let us say with Rotary pride that “GSE has proven itself one of the strongest forces in the world for peace.The writer, as a GSE team leader, feels the need of witnessing my GSE experiences to all of you – either young professionals or Rotarians – Rotary Club members – who are interested in knowing GSE better or joining GSE team.

61.01 PP Language – D3500 GSE Chair contacting Ken Hurt – D5650 GSE Chair

gse3500taiwan — Fri, 23 May 2008 02:12:19 +0000

[05-22-2008, Taoyuan, Taiwan]

To prepare D3500 GSE Team well earlier PP Language, GSE Chair 2008-2009 has formulated an overall plan on the new Rotary year’s GSE educational program including team member recruitment, education & training, preliminary communications with Ken Hurt, GSE Chair of D5650, the paired district, and team leader resource and more.

Concerning the communications with Ken Hurt, PP Language expressed his hearty thanks to Erin Woodard, GSE Senior Coordinator, TRT, for without her amazing efficient reply it would not be possible to clarify who the exact GSE coordinator of D5650 is.

Lesson: “As a Rotarian serving GSE program it is the best to seek for information and assistance from GSE Senior Coordinator of TRF.”
