The Most Respectful WTIC Founder and Honorary President Madame Julie Chien
WTIC Founders, Former Presidents, Consulting Advisers, Honorary Members
Dear Ladies:
Good Afternoon!
First of all, I would like to thank you for your support electing me as the president of the Welcome to Taipei International Club. It is a privilege for me to be elected as our club’s president. Over past thirty-seven years, WTIC has well established into a prominent group in supporting international friendship. Thus, with privilege it comes with great responsibilities. As a foreign service spouse, over past more than 30 years, I have lived in United States, Indonesia and Nauru, and as an executive members in various women’s groups, I truly believe that “reaching out friendly hands” can earn friendship and touch each other’s heart. I am committed to WTIC’ vision and I am optimistic that under our experienced advisers’ guidance, our newly elected board members will faithfully continue to lead our working committee and interest groups chairpersons to deepen the joy of international friendship embedded in WTIC heritage.
I would like to take this opportunity to extend my appreciation to Madam Jeannie Tien and Executive Committee members for organizing today’s registration luncheon successfully. On behalf of our new board of directors and supervisors, I would like to announce that Lili Yeh will be our club’s new executive secretary to work together with our new board and members.
Lastly but not the least, on behalf of the WTIC board of directors, may I extend best wishes to you for good health and happiness for this year of Rabbit. Thank you very much.
親愛的會員大家好，新春快樂！首先我要感謝妳們的支持，選舉我擔任台北市迎新會的會長。台北市迎新會成立三十七年來，在建立國際友誼上以為大家矚目與誇讚。能夠擔任迎新會的會長是我的榮譽，但是也是最大的責任。身為外交眷屬，過去三十餘年來我在台灣或在美國、印尼、諾魯等各國的生活經驗，以及在國際或台灣的婦女團體擔任義工的歷練，我深刻體會伸出「友誼之手與人為善」能夠觸動溫暖人心，給別人生活甚至生命帶來改變，也會讓我們自己成長，我與今天新當選的理監事們將會效法前輩們無私的奉獻精神，領導我們的工作團隊在迎新會現有的良好基礎上，繼續推動加強國際友誼的文化活動，更是期待大家的支持與參加。
非常感謝田夫人陳毅君會長帶領工作團隊籌辦今天成功的餐會。本屆新任的理事會已同意請由劉葉芳非女士擔任迎新會的總幹事，我們全體理監事會在前輩們經營有成的基礎上，啟發創新讓迎新會永遠是懷抱國際友誼的溫暖大家庭。
最後敬祝大家鴻兔大展！平安健康快樂！
謝謝！
