Among the clubs in Kyoto, many surpass ours in tradition, prestige, and size. As I considered what would make our club a chosen and distinctive presence among the 24 clubs, I established this theme.

I have set this year’s theme as:

"Nagowayaka ni, Kakkoyoku!" (Warm and Stylish!)

This reflects our goal of becoming a club that values its members, where individuals demonstrate refined manners and admirable conduct, creating a club that is both attractive and respected.

Our policies for this year are as follows:
1. To create a warm and welcoming atmosphere at meetings that encourages attendance.
2. To actively promote membership growth and expand the scale of the club.
3. To aim for the establishment of a satellite club.
4. To enhance training opportunities for new members in anticipation of continued growth.
5. As this is the District Governor Elect year, to encourage participation in district activities and foster greater engagement with the district among all members.
6. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of our friendship with Kanazawa‑North RC through a special visit.
7. To establish a new overseas sister club.
8. To continue ongoing service projects and develop new initiatives in coordination with the following year, including applications for district grants.
