President's Column ANG PATIYOG Bulletin for August 6, 2010



Greetings fellow Rotarians,

As we begin our 46th year, I look forward to being the First American President of this great club. We will continue on with what we do best, Medical Missions, Adopt-A-School (Literacy Project) with RC Liwasang Bonifacio, Manila; Boys and Girls week; Outreach Medical Mission and Feeding Program with Stimulation and Therapeutic Activity Center (STAC) Kalibo initiated by PP Megs Lunn in cooperation with the local clubs in Kalibo and likewise; the Project W.A.L.K (Wishes of Aid and Limbs for Kids) with sister club RC Forbes Park, Makati City, and of course Operation Taghoy with Uplift Internationale. They will be returning this February 2011.

I’m hoping that we can have as good if not better turnout on all of our projects as we have had in the past. Sometimes it’s easier to sit in our office and say, “Ah not today” but remember we would be no where without your continued support and cooperation. Remember Service Above Self, 4 simple words.

This year will be a bit different since Milo Marathon will not be coming to Roxas, thus our funds received from them will not be available as it has been in the past years. I encourage all members to think of fund raising projects and prospective donors so that we my make up for our losses and perhaps even enhance our clubs ability to complete even larger projects.

One project that we need to complete is our marker at Bay Bay. It is unfinished and not really helping our Rotary Club Image. Perhaps we should take a weekend and do some painting ourselves to get some color into the marker.

Our 46th induction ceremonies was well received by all that attended, food was great, outfits even better and our DG was able to be our guest speaker for which we thank Gov James Makasiar for taking time to come all to Roxas for our ceremony.
Thank you to Rtn. Mariz Gepilano for the Dengue Update last meeting. Beware of mosquitos who brings Dengue fever that usually attacks ONE HOUR BEFORE SUN UP and ONE HOUR BEFORE SUN DOWN, according to Dr. Mariz who shared this inputs and many more last meeting.

God Bless our great club.

Pres. Jerry
