Social Rotaract evening in Home Plate BBQ

Posted on by Gilbert Van Kerckhove

On Monday 2 February another nice social evening in Home Plate BBQ, a popular place and usually packed. They have some great dishes and my favorites are Pulled Pork Sandwich and Pulled Pork Plate. They also have a wide range of American beer and locally brewed ales. The Wifi on the other hand never works!

Rotaract social evenings are always popular, even being in the “low season”.

Another great speaker: Mr. Francisco Perez-Canado, Minister Counsellor, Head of the Trade Section at the Delegation of the European Union, who spoke about EU China Trade Relations. He did not need any paper… straight from the mouth! Great overview of a complex situation.
Paul Harris Fellowship Award: IPP Ruby presented a Paul Harris Fellowship (PHF) to Rtn Urpo to acknowledge his outstanding contributions to the club.

Thanks to Celine for the pics.
The Rotary Beijing Annual Charity Ball will be on Saturday, May 23, 2015 in Kempinski Hotel. The theme will be “Broadway in Beijing”. See the flyer! Reserve your seat!

On Tuesday evening 13 January, a special dinner in Kempinski, to celebrate New Year, to say thanks to wonderful Benno (who is leaving Beijing) and to say welcome to three new members to the Rotary Club of Beijing, one being sponsored by me, Lucy. Welcome to all!

We had also the Phoenix Quartet, with four nationalities: Montenegro, Poland, Australia and Germany. Nice performance.
For once, a large turnout of members and guests.
