Taipei West Rotary Club

Warmest greetings from Taipei!

It gives us immense pleasure to announce the 70th Anniversary Celebration of the Taipei West Rotary Club at the Grand Hotel Taipei on March 18, 2025. We would like to warmly invite you and the members of your Club to come to Taipei and join us to celebrate this special occasion. We are pleased to present the agenda of the Anniversary Celebration programs on March 17-18, as well as a list of selected hotel accommodations, and a registration form for events and activities (see attached). Our heartfelt thanks go to you all for your continuous support of our club over the years.  WHR president will give a 3-minute speech to all attendees during the Commemorative Ceremony Banquet and would appreciate receiving a written speech as well as a recent photo of your president by December 18, 2024.

Furthermore, we will make all necessary preparations to assist you and to ensure that your Spring visit to Taipei will be pleasant and joyful. Please fill out the registration form at your earliest convenience and send it back to us by December 18, 2024.

Please feel free to arrange for your own travel plans through your travel agencies. The Ambassador Hotel, which had been our primary venue for the past decades, is now under reconstruction. Nevertheless, we have made special arrangements with four hotels which offer discounted rates for visitors from aboard during our Anniversary Celebration for your consideration. The discounted rates offered by the selected hotels are time-limited. Please reply by December 18, 2024.

Taipei West Rotary Club, look forward to welcoming all of you to Taipei in March 2025.

Warm regards, William Wang President of the Taipei West Rotary Club
