RC Chiang Mai Wattana started in 2012 with 25 charter members: 23 Thais, 1 Filipina and 1 Filippino. The numbers of our members grew fast to 48 at one time but declined as time went by.
Since majority of our members are teachers, students’ parents and scientists, the club activities focused on environmental conservation and youth education. Currently we are focusing more on human trafficking prevention.
We had Rotary Exchange Students from U.S.A., Brazil, Taiwan, France, Germany and Canada. Our outbound students went to Mexico, Germany, Venezuela, United States of America and Taiwan.
Projects have been primarily financed by contributions from our friends. They include 3 environmental conservation projects, Life Skills Development for Awareness, Drowning Prevention for grade 4 students, Visual Screening and Correction for grades 3 and 5 students, Anti-Human Trafficking training for teachers, students, parents and community leaders. We invite other rotary clubs and organizations to join hands making a better world for all.
Our club logo consists of 7 lotus petals surrounding a gear which means we work 7 days around the clock in order to make a better world for all. Shocking pink lotus petals refer to the color for Chiang Mai.
We welcome anyone from around the world to join us as regular active members or associate members. We meet online on the 2nd Sunday of each month and in person on the 4th Sunday. All Rotarians, Rotaractors, Rotary Peace Fellows and invited guests are welcome. For your invitation contact president@rotaryclubchiangmaiwattana.org.
