President's Message, Ang Bag-ong Patiyog- Sept. 10, 2010

Good Day Rotarians,

The Board met last Friday Sept 3rd and Nominated Rotarian Doctor Marissa “Mariz” Gepilano to become the President of our club for the year 2011-2012.

I have included a little background about Doc. Mariz. She was born in Manila at the DeCampo Memorial Hospital in Nagtahan Manila. She went to St Mary’s (Roxas) grades 1-3 then transferred to Scholastica Manila for grades 4-7. She then attended and graduated from Assumption College Makati High School. She entered the University Sano Tomas and received her BS in Biology. She received her Doctor of Medicine from Saint Louis University Bagio. She did her internship a Capiz Emmanuel Hospital and her Residence in Pediatrics at Doctor Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital in Santa Cruz Manila.

Doc Mariz left the Philippines in 1997 and went to the United States, settling down in Florida to work in the medical profession. She returned to the Philippines in November 1999 and began working for the City Health Department of Roxas City. She is now the Assistant Director of City Health.

Doc Mariz is married to Roberto Ramundo and has one son RJ (Roberto Jaime a 1st year high school student at Ateneo De Iloilo. RJ is also a Rotor Kid in our club. PE Mariz has been a Rotarian since 2004 and was our Club Administrator before become the PE of our club
We all welcome PE Mariz and look forward to her becoming the President of our Club next year.

P.S.
PE Mariz loves to travel and cook, I have not travelled with her but I can tell you her cooking is great.

Other matters from the Monday Fund Raising Meeting. We have an opportunity from Gov. Emma to bring up FHM to put on a show for Roxas. Our Club would be the sponsor of this event and perhaps this time we can raise some much needed funds for our club.

Sincerely,

Jerome K. Lames
