Last March 9-11, 2017, Rotay International (RI) District
3850 (Western Mindanao, Negros, Panay Island and Guimaras Province) held this
year a very successful District Convention for Rotary Year 2016-2017 at the new
Grand Xing Imperial Hotel, Iloilo City, where both learning and fun were combined.
It was well attended by more or less 800 Rotarians, Spouses and Rotaractors,
notwithstanding the inclusion of well-chosen topics and eloquent speakers, plus
the exciting musical icon night. As by design, a Rotary district conference is
not complete without the most awaited year-end reports and awards.
The Rotary Club of Roxas under the cudgels of All-Star
President Jocelyn Mosquete (MD) garnered the several well-deserved recognition

“Service Above Self,” thru projects and activities around Roxas City, Capiz.

Rotaract clubs are the young leaders aged 18-30 years old.
They also are models of like-minded young people joining together to exchange
ideas in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and have
fun in doing service and doing good in the world. Rotarians and Rotaractors work
side by side to take action projecting service above self. These two are global
movements that develop innovative solutions to the world’s pressing challenges.
Rotarians around the world thru Rotary International
continue to make a difference in the world thru serving humanity.
