This will be the theme for the new Rotary Year, 1998/99, which was wished in by the Rotary Club of Jomtien Pattaya on June 20th during their Installation Night at the Royal Cliff Beach Resort.

If the full house at the Desford Colliery Band’s concert at the Royal Cliff Beach Resort is any barometer, this reviewer must recant. Pattaya does have an interest in culture. Bringing this prize winning band of virtuoso brass players to Pattaya was a real coup for the Bangkok Music Society. Pattaya society was out with a vengeance. Jewels glittered among much cheek-kissing and warm camaraderie among the ‘my diamonds are bigger than your diamonds’ crowd.
