Presidents Corner

RC Biak-na-Bato

We have several events lined up in the coming days. First is the RC DAU anniversary on Nov 11 which we were invited. They have been obliging us on our invitation and now are the time to return the favor. PDG Dan and PP Tito have confirmed their attendance on the said invitation.

On Nov 12, will be the Rotary Foundation Night. There will be awards and tokens that will be given to Paul Harris Fellows. Nov 15 will be our next spouse night. We have agreed to celebrate on our regular meeting place and the food will be voluntary pack foods. In this event we will be inducting new members.

Today, we have to discuss all our project and their updates. There are no projects moving other than the construction of the Classroom/Multipurpose hall of the Dumagat thanks to PP Alford. We have to schedule our libreng pustiso program and a medical program for this month. We would like to have a good presentation on our projects and activities on the spouse night.

Walt Whitman said “Happiness not in another place but in this place. Not for another hour but this hour” This has inspired many to be happy at any and every moment in whatever place. We cannot plan happiness for tomorrow in another place but we can be happy in this instance on the place you are standing now. It is about enjoying what you have, the little things in life. It is about living the moment and making your mark in this lifetime.

Thank you and may God Bless us always.

ASP Peter Valencia

RI PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE

JOHN F. GERM PRESIDENT 2016-17 November 2016

Looking back at the momentous 1917 Rotary Convention in Atlanta, it is difficult to see what could have been contentious about the words of then-President Arch C. Klumph: “It seems eminently proper that we should accept endowments for the purpose of doing good in the world.” Yet, at the time, support for the idea was far from unanimous. Some thought an endowment fund would create more trouble than it was worth. But Klumph’s idea received the support it most needed in the form of an initial donation of $26.50 from the Rotary Club of Kansas City.

Nearly 100 years later, we recognize Klumph’s idea as not only visionary, but revolutionary: It set in place the mechanism that allowed Rotary to become the vast force for “doing good in the world” that it is today.

In many ways, our Rotary Foundation is the foundation of Rotary as  we know it. It has created a mechanism for cooperation and partnership among clubs and between Rotary and other organizations; it has enabled us to  be ever more ambitious in our work and to reach for goals of historic proportions, such as the eradication of polio. It is impossible to quantify the  good that has been done over the last century as a result of The Rotary Foundation. All we can know for sure is that Arch Klumph, if he could see it, would be proud.

I am looking forward to seeing many of you at our international convention in Atlanta: the city where our Foundation was born. I hope a record number of Rotarians will be there to celebrate the centennial of our Foundation. In the meantime, there are plenty of other ways to celebrate! I encourage you to read more about the Foundation centennial at centennial.rotary.org. There, you’ll learn about the history of our Foundation and find ideas for events and projects in your clubs and your community.

One of the most important ways we are celebrating the Foundation centennial is with a fundraising goal of $300 million. Your gift to your Foundation is the best way of ensuring a strong second century for Rotarians Doing Good in the World and for Rotary Serving Humanity.
