What we are doing:
Posted on Feb 21, 2020
We are working to improve CHILD SAFETY, HEALTH, and EDUCATION  in the communities we serve.  We approach our various service projects using Rotary Core Values of Integrity, Service, Fellowship, Diversity, and Leadership as our compass. 
 
CMIRC Projects: 
CMIRC Currently sponsors:
 
Who We are:  CMIRC was chartered as club # 85590 on 21 February 2014.  We are a group of women and men, from many nationalities, committed to the Rotary guiding principle of “Service Above Self”. Membership is open to all, regardless of gender, religious affiliation, political affiliation, sexual orientation, or nationality.  We are a small family-friendly group dedicated to CHILD SAFETY, HEALTH and EDUCATION through our service projects.  Members and guests are encouraged to bring their families to our meetings.  With you, we can do even more!
 

Meeting Night: 

 
Our next regular meeting will be on 3 March 2020 at Royal Peninsula Hotel.  Rotary meetings are open to members, visiting Rotarians and invited guests. For your invitation, Contact Us.  Our meeting schedule and events are available on our CMIRC Calendar as well.

 

How we are we different:

 

We are the only Rotary club in Northern Thailand that conducts all of its meetings solely in the English language.


The December visits to the Burma Children Medical Fund's B. K. Kee Patient House were very good. We said goodbye to patients who were returning to their homes and welcomed new ones. 
 
Rotarians & friends remained busy with delivering warm clothes and school supplies to children living in vulnerable hill tribe communities and refugee camps in the mountains.
 
BEAM will now have two GED Social Studies volunteer teachers who will be conducting the GED Social Studies sessions. Students have been assessed as needing additional assistance...
 
We will combine our customary tour with an English Language Cultural Exchange with the 11th grade, 12th grade and Pre-GED students at the MTC Child Development Center. 
 
Great news to start the new year! We have a new NGO that wants to partner with us: Goggles for Guppies. They are based in Laguna Hills, California, and their one concern is international shipping.
 
We look forward to the new year of 2020 and working on new opportunities to serve our communities. We are pleased to continue our sponsorship by the Chiang Mai International Rotary Club.
 
On Saturday, 22 February, CMIRC will celebrate the 6th anniversary of receiving its charter with a Children's Charity Duck Race and hor d'oeuvres buffet at the Centre of the Universe  Swimming Pool & Resort in Chiang Mai.  
 
A chance to support Warm Heart Foundation's efforts to mitigate air pollution in Northern Thailand and to have an enjoyable evening at Chiang Mai's historic Gymkhana Club. We'll have tickets available for sale at CMIRC meetings in January...
 
We channel our commitment to service at home and abroad through five Avenues of Service, which are the foundation of club activity. Vocational Service calls on every Rotarian to work with integrity...
