From the Editor

January is designated by the Rotary International as the Rotary Awareness Month. How can we be able to share our advocacy on making Rotary known in our community?

There is our friends from the media - (print, radio and tv). We can take the advantage of Public Service in between their programs to be able to share a quote or two, a brief information/details about Rotary event in your club or district and or share some pictures with caption and the project title as part of Rotary minute on air, print or tv.

In many provinces there is Ati-Atihan in Aklan, Dinagyang in Iloilo and Sinulog in Cebu that we come and visit and take part of the celebration. While we do street dancing, we can carry along our club banner, wear Rotary t-shirts or caps and share Rotary brochure along the way as a way of doing our share in making Rotary known in our circle of friends and the community that we serve.

How about you? Do you have any idea that you can share with us? If so, please share your comments here and we can all join together in sharing Rotary awareness where we are now.

One good example of Rotary Awareness is yourself. You are a walking Rotarian, wherever you are and whatever you do. Carry along a Rotary calling card, a Rotary pin in any of your attire during the day and many others.

Just today, I was at a shop and when they learned I am Rotarian, all of sudden, they blurted out, "Oh! Rotary!!! Is it an International Club? .." and the rest is history. It made my day great!

Do your share without efforts. It just comes out naturally to you when you know your organization well. See you around!
