Success story of Hunt 4 Fun+D

Reported by FueYin

The night before the hunt was a nightmare... I guess many organizing committee did not manage to sleep. All were praying for a good weather the next day. However, the sound of the loud thunder woke me up 4am. Oh gosh! Dare not to think about Plan B that we do not have. At 7am, woke up and hurried to the door to check the sky. Guess our prayers worked. The rain subsided and soon the sun shine the Taming Sari area... Thank you God.

At 8.30am, 23 registered teams arrived with dictionary, thesaurus, camera and lots of enthusiasm. We were touched to see PP Kua strolling across the parking lot to join the hunt. Despite being a lone ranger, he took up the courage and became the only one representing Rotary Club of Kota Melaka.

Organizing chairperson, PP Gregory Sim, briefed on the rules and regulation and officially kicked off the hunt at 8.45am. The marshals, DRR Wee and President Eugene, cycled around the route to ensure safety and that no participants strayed too far. The hunt lasted for 3 hours and all teams adjourned to Friends Café where lunch was sponsored.

The closing ceremony was conducted where answers were revealed. 5 consolation prizes were presented by President Eugene and DRR Wee. PP Kua from Rotary Club of Kota Melaka gave away the 3 grand prizes to the winning teams. This event was successful thanks to the sponsorship given by KAJ group, PB Realty Sdn Bhd, Mamee Double Decker Distribution Sdn Bhd, TeoBros Development Sdn Bhd, Bersatu Hati Enterprise Sdn Bhd and Friends Cafe. The whole event ended at 2pm.

Following the event, the cash (RM2075) collected and the provisions bought by the participants during the hunt, being onions and baked beans, were presented to the home (Differently Able Children and Old Folks Centre, Alor Gajah, Melaka) on the same day. Thank you participants. sponsors, all members and god for the blessed weather. For without you, this hunt may not be this successful. Hope to see you again next year!

Rotaract Club of Kota Melaka and Rotaract Club of Semarang Simpang Lima has a sister pact signed for four years now and a year of friendship pact with Rotaract Club of Ikeda, Osaka, Japan. We had been exchanging bulletin with both clubs about respective club’s updates, and had been visiting each other.

On 26^th February 2009, DRR Wee Yik Chuang, President Eugene Tan and Rtr Sreedaran took an early flight to attend three days two nights conference in Jogjakarta to meet our sister club, the Rotaract Club of Semarang Simpang Lima.

This conference of 3 days (27^th February 2009 to 1^st March 2009) was the district’s trainer programme where the first day was dedicated to training rotaractors holding posts in their respective clubs. DRR Wee Yik Chuang was invited to be the trainer for President post whereas President Eugene attended the International Service session and Rtr Sreedaran attended the community service session. The club presentation session resumed after that whereby President Eugene presented about Malaysia, District 3310 and about club’s recent activities. It was an eye opener for them as they witness the selection of DRRN. All nominees were seated on the stage, like in an Oprah Show, and was interviewed by DRR and DRRN on their plans for D3400. Crowds went crazy! Shouting and chanting the nominee that they were supporting.

Apart from training, participants were transported to the earthquake site in Jogjakarta to plant trees on day two. Community service adjourned in the evening followed by a night of cultural exchange whereby every club presented a awesome performance: band from kitchen equipment and so on.

The conference ended, members of the club travelled back to Malaysia feeling tired but with new friends from district 3400. Till next year, see you in Surabaya
