Finally, they will have meetings with Pal Foundation, and our soon to be sister club RC Forbes Park Makati on Sept. 10-12, 2009. The signing of Sisterhood Agreement between RC Forbes and RC Roxas will also be another highlight of the meetings.


Our newly elected member, Rtn. Megs Lunn, Executive Coordinator for Taghoy Philippines will be with them throughout this journey for the Filipino children. Rtn. Megs has been working as volunteer with Uplift Internationale for nearly 5 years now before she eventually became the Executive Coordinator for Taghoy Philippines.
