GO to Guamon March 21 & 22!

The District Conference held on February 20 and 21
was a great success with many Rotarians, the family of
R o t ar y , gu e s t s , an d in t e r na t i o nal c o ll e a gu e s inattendance. I would like to thank all of you for yourcooperation. The two days were a great opportunity totalk with friends at the same time and in the sameplace, that made us realize the joy and importance ofsocializing with each o ther. I am sure that manyRotarians made new friends.
It has been 50 years since PBG joined District 2750.
Last December we visited 5 Rotary Clubs in Guam andRotary Club and Rotaract Club in Saipan, and thisJanuary we visited the Rotary Club of Pohnpei, theRotary Club of Truck Lagoon, and the Rotary Club ofPalau. The ﬁrst club I visited this year was the Rotary
Club of Pohnpei. We left Japan, made transit in Guamand Chuuk, then arrived in Pohnpei after about 20hours. At the weekly meeting of the club, I had a good
conversation with the members and learned a lot about
the actual situation of Pohnpei. The following day, Mr.
Bersita, the president of the Rotary Club of Truck
Lagoon, told us about the current situation of the club,and we learned that they are having a hard time in
membership development and raising dues. The Rotary
Club of Pohnpei has 16 members and the Rotary Clubof Truck Lagoon has 11 members. The average wage in
Pohnpei is $1.75 per hour, and the average annual
income is about JPY 300,000. Chuuk is even lower, so
this limits the number of people who can aﬀord to
become Rotarians. If we don't get new young members,
our clubs will not be able to survive. We will explore
what kind of cooperation would be eﬀective throughcloser communication.
T he R o t ar y Club o f P ohnp ei has b e en dona t ing
playground equipment, computers, and books tochildren's shelters for many years, and President Rick
explained that continuity is the key to community
service. I totally agree with him.
The island of Koror, where the Rotary Club of Palau islocated, had the headquarters of the South Seas
Agency in the period under Japanese rule, and eventoday, Japanese culture remains strong and many of
the islanders are pro-Japanese. The average wage in
the island is about twice that of Pohnpei, but still low
compared to Japan, and the ﬁnancial hurdle for young
people to become Rotary club members is high. Mostof the members gathered at the lunch meeting, andafter my speech, we had a heart-to-heart exchange
through direct dialogue. We then went to theelementary school, where we donated playgroundequipment, to see the results of our joint serviceactivities. President Jennifer was enthusiastic about
en v ir onmen t al is sue s such as t r ash s epar a t ion,recycling, and planting native island plants. In order toexpand these activities, it is essential to increase thenumber of members though, new members are hardly
joining. The reason was the same: membership fees.
The islands' economies are supported by the tourism
industry, but the travel restrictions caused by theCOVID-19 pandemic and other factors are draining
their economies. At the time when the restrictions are
ﬁnally eased, PBG is celebrating the 50th anniversaryof its aﬃliation with District 2750 with acommemorative event, and PBG is preparing this eventwith all the members as a catalyst for local economic
recovery. We will have fun while engaging in service
activities by having a barbecue feast, a fellowshipsocial gala dinner, beach cleaning involving the public.
For golf enthusiasts, we are also planning a charity golf
ou t ing a t a nice t r opical cour se. L e t 's t ak e t hisopportunity to revive “Group for One” and once again
b ond w i t h our f ello w dis t r ic t memb er s t hr oughinteraction, fellowship, and service activities.
Many PBG members visited Japan for the district
conference in February. Now it is our turn to gather inGuam t o celebrat e the 50 th anniv er sar y o f PBG
membership together. Let's all go to Guam, where PBG
members are waiting for you.
