Matched Club RY 2010-2011

What a good start for Pres. Jerry Lames Rotary Year.

Last July 10, 2010, a Welcome Reception and Renewal of Matched Club Agreement with Rotary Club of Liwasang Bonifacio was held at the many stop-over points around Roxas City and Capiz. The event was very successful.

RC Liwasang Bonifacio was led by Global President Jowell San Jose and his spouse Rannie San Jose. His team was composed of their energetic charter members PE Elvis Patao, CP Romy Malcampo & Spouse Malou, AG/IPP Winston Ongchinke, Project Director Donald Almonte, Rtn. Roberto Lao, Senior Board Member/Rtn. Sonny Besa & Spouse Josephine. While our team present with Pres. Jerry were, AG/IPP Pip, PP Ruben, PP Butch, PP Megs, GSE Team Leader Mhel, PP Mark, Rtn. Chad & Spouse/Sec. Leah, Rtn. Cheche, Rtn. Bonnie and
our ever hardworking Admin. Sec. Weng.

It was a one blessed day for everyone. The day was overwhelming with the donations of pails of paint from our sisterclub RC Liwasang Bonifacio to this year's adopted school - Bago National High School in the district of Capiz. The show prepared by the students touched the heart of all of us and made sister club promised to donate more paints to paint the entire school with more or less 300 students population with only 9 Teachers, including the Principal. Aside from the paint, the two matched club promised to donate a PA System and build a library of books of which the school is deprived for a long time now.
Likewise, PP Pip Acepcion and his family thru RC Roxas, donated a Dental Chair unit to the school.

This is what Rotary made it so special for everyone. For you only do not touch our heart with your great appreciation of our presence, but you touch our heart by giving us the eyes to see all the opportunity that we can do for the community. With all hands together, with all our collective efforts, we make things happen for this school.

We even went home with pasalubong of rambutan fruits from the student. A simple gesture of kindness for them, yet for us, it made a great big deal of generosity for their effort, time, notwithstanding their presence on a Saturday (no class) just to receive all of us in full force. It was well organized, well attended and well blessed for both groups.

To our sister club, RC Liwasang Bonifacio, it was a pleasure having you in Roxas and around Capiz. There will always be a reason for us to keep in touch - the Bago National High School newly adopted school for RY 2010-2011.
