Fruitful Panel Discussions and Workshops @

20th District Conference

Strengthen District Financial PositionOur financial position is in great shape. Much stronger than prior biennium due to:1. Savings due to the lockdown that prohibits face to face activities 2. Profit from 20th District Conference due to higher than budgeted donations

from sponsors. Thanks to the active solicitation from organizing clubs in Hong Kong

3. Efficiencies achieved through e-Newsletters and district directory. Savings from printing and courier charges

4. Roughly US$40,000 to District 17 reserve fund for future biennium service projects

Fund Distributed to Area in Clubs for Disaster Relief and Service Projects
