Governors Message

The Keys to a Clubs Membership Growth and DevelopmentBy Governor Francis A. Rivera, Rotary International District 3780

We celebrate August asRotarys Membership andExtension Month. This is

the time of the year whenwe focus on increasing ourmembership base throughrecruitment of new mem-bers and organization ofnew clubs to attain morehearts, more minds, andmore hands that work inthe pursuit of Rotarysdream of building a betterworld. This months cele-bration also reminds us on

ways to develop new members into quality Rotarians to en-sure membership retention and growth.

In our district, we have set a goal of 2,500 members at theend of 2013-2014. Let me therefore share some thoughtsthat can help us attain this goal.

Growth and development are words that stir the imagina-tion on positive action and its effect. How then do you in-spire growth and development in a Rotary club?

Imagine your club as a fruit tree that you plant. You give itove and care because you want it to grow and bear goodfruits. You give the plant enough sunshine and water andsprinkle some fertilizer to make it grow healthy and strong.During hot summer days or storms you worry about theplant and ensure that it doesnt die. It has become a part ofyou. You have become attached to it and would like to seet mature during your lifetime.

Think of that tree as a club member. As a club leader, youwould take good care of your members. Then, imagine thesun, rain, and fertilizer as your programs and activitiesthings that you do to inspire interest and a sense of belong-ng among your club members, and to stimulate growth anddevelopment of your club.

From this analogy, we gather three important factors thatdetermine the growth and development of a club:

1. Knowledgeable, skillful and inspiring leadership2. Strong and healthy membership in quality and number3. Interesting programs and activities

Through wisdom, effective communication, human relationsand example, the leadership becomes the source of

strength and inspiration for everyone in the club. It is thleader that develops and enhances quality, character, mset, values, principles, courage and commitment of the

membership.

On the other hand, it is a strong and quality membershipthat endures the test of time. Like a forest that faces thetest of summers and storms, the club goes through ups downs as it grows from year to year. With a weak membship, the club will wither. With a wide membership basefounded on quality, it will endure and grow. The membeof the club are its assets. These assets must be increaseand developed well to ensure retention and growth.

With these in mind, the leadership is mandated to create

and implement programs and activities to inspire the mebership to get involved, to immerse themselves in everyactivity so that in the process they may develop a sensebelonging and become quality members of the club.

These are the keys that give life and meaning to the exitence of a club - three things that matter most in stimulaing its growth and development: the leadership, the membership and the things that they do as a club. But whatethey do, it must be done in the spirit of friendship and sevice, in the spirit of oneness and love.

The question before our eyes is: How can we stimulategrowth and development of members of clubs in the dis-trict? A quick look at statistics reveals that 63 of our clubare below charter strength. As I mentioned earlier, thereare two ways: invite new members and create or chartenew clubs. Recent experience in the district suggests tharather than charter new clubs we should strengthen ourclubs from within by inviting qualified individuals to join movement and develop them into quality members. So fwe have grown by 1% in July from our starting membercount of 2,402 as of June 30.

Another way is the innovative fostering program that whave adopted for the year. This program involves joint udertakings between a strong club and an emerging club a club needing attention) on service projects, meetings, recruitment.

We believe that with these two strategies we can attain membership goal for 2013-2014. Let us give these strategies our utmost efforts to ensure success. As a wise mansaid, If you believe in your plans, pursue them with youheart and soul until you attain them.

Membership and Club Administration: Innovating Our Way Forward!By District Membership Development Chair LG Dwight Ramos, RC Quezon City

GML requested PDS Jesse for his views on the real advantages of a large club like Loyola Heights with 86 members

The Rotary Club of Loyola Heights: Bigger, Better, Bolder . . .By PDS Jesse Tanchanco, RC Loyola Heights

As a wayforward

in achievingour member-ship and clubadministra-tion goalsthis RotaryYear 2013-

4, an innovative approach calledfunctional collaboration" betweennd among Clubs will be pilot-testedy the District. A brainchild of LG

Nestor "Chito" Borromeo, this will bejoint undertaking between the

District Membership Developmentnd Club Administration Committees.

Under the arrangement, volunteerfoster clubs will pair with emergingclubs, establish a relationship andexert cooperative efforts to meetmembership development and clubadministration goals. The clubs mayalso hold joint membership meetingsor joint fellowship activities once amonth. They may also conduct ajoint service project where both clubscan participate in planning,implementation and reporting. Thebigger of the two clubs, or the fosterclub, may also act as adviser inassuring its partner emerging club'smembership growth throughrecruitment and retention. Foster

clubs can also assist in resougeneration activities of the emergclubs. Most importantly, they extend resources and informationbest practices that can be appand help make them more effecclubs.

Congratulations to LG Chito. We hthat this initiative will strengtmany more clubs in District 37Special thanks as well to District CAdministration Committee ChairmMelandrew "Mel" Velasco for his aassistance in getting the proacinvolvement of partners for project.

The successstory of the

Rotary Club ofLoyola Heightscannot just besolely attributedto it being thebiggest club inDistrict 3780today and in fact

or the past many years. Yes, sizeoes matter, but were getting ahead

f the story.

When I joined the RCLH in 1998, theub was just at charter strength. Ias a witness to its steady growth toecome the biggest and one of the

most successful clubs in our district.t was never an overnighthenomenon. It took years and plentyf hard work to get to where it is now.

have seen many clubs double orlmost triple their memberships athe start of a Rotary year only to loses much or even more at the end ofhe RY or thereafter. Apparently,hese clubs were equating numbersith success. Not so. It is not

automatic. There is no shortcut. Some had purposely increasedtheir membership for the wrongreasons or misdirected motivations.

The RCLH growth has been a result oftrying to address the ever growingopportunities for service andfellowship that came its way. The clubsoon realized that in order tosignificantly address these numerouschallenges, there is a need toincrease in numbers and mostspecially, membership quality. Weneeded more members who can takecharge and lead, members who canafford to share time, talent and

resources, and members who canshare their passion, enthusiasm andcommitment with others.

Bigger clubs definitely have distinctadvantages over smaller clubs. Biggerclubs naturally have more resources.They are capable of implementinghigh impact projects simultaneouslyand still be active on the district level.Bigger clubs also attract morepartners in service who would

normally have more confidence in a

consistently large club witsuccessful track record.

The RCLH now enjoys the distinction of being able to chgrant partners and direct donors a long list of willing and able cfrom various districts around world. Thus, our club leaders areanymore pressured to dig deeptheir pockets for project funding.

Fellowship-wise, because of our number, we are able to afford band bigger venues and are abnegotiate lower prices because higher consumable base. Pot

gatherings are always over flowinmatter how much you control the and drinks assignments.

Good entertainment is cheaper bperson because there are more oto divide the costs and so on.

Like a magnet, prospective Rotawould likely be attracted to proven and consistently succeclubs like the Rotary Club of Lo

Heights.

Metro West Triangle establishes integrated health complex to jump-start a holist

community development program for newly re-settled community in MontalbanBy PN Dr Samuel Yrastorza, RC Metro West Triangle

The BAHAY PAGAMUTAN project ofthe Rotary Club of Metro West

Triangle located in the community forelocated informal settlers in Barangay

sidro of Rodr iguez ( formerlyMontalban), Rizal was inaugurated onuly 29, 2013. Leading the ribbon-

cutting ceremonies were Atty. ChitoCruz, General Manager of the NationalHousing Authority (NHA), DistrictGovernor Francis Rivera, RCMWT FirstClass President Mer Rodriguez, andDr. RJ Javier representing theUniversity of the East Ramon Magsay-say Memorial Medical Center Inc.UERMMMCI). Local leaders and

members of the community were alsoon hand to witness the occasion. Thepublic had a first glimpse of the 6housing units of the NHA housingproject, which were converted into anntegrated complex holding the healthcenter and lodging house for

community doctors of the UERMMMCI.

t has been two years since thepresidency of Lito Lacap that the clubstarted the plan of adopting acommunity and help it in terms ofhealth, local governance, livelihoodand education. The goal was to supportand guide the community to a pointhat it would be self-reliant and

self-sufficient that it can be left on itsown. It was through NHA GM Chito Cruzhat we got introduced to a relatively

new community of informal settlersrom Metro Manila, most of whom

came from Quezon City. SouthvillePhase 8, with its 8,000 plus familieswho were re-starting their lives almost

rom scratch, was an exact fit for theproject. With the approval of the NHAand the Housing Czar Vice Presidentejomar Binay, a Memorandum of

Understanding was entered into by theNHA and RCMWT to carry out the pro-ect on the relocation site. NHA offeredsix housing units and an open area as

site of the project.

With four of the members of RCMWTbeing doctors and graduates of

UERMMMCI College of Medicine, it wasbut logical to tap the medical school tobe the clubs partner in the health

aspect of the project. A comprehensivehealth plan tailored for the said medi-cal school became the priority and wascrafted by Doctors PP Vicente Tito

Tanseco, PP Richard Hizon, PE ArwinRonsayro and PN Samuel Yrastorza.Exploratory talks were then startedthrough Dr. Ramon Jason Javier, theDirector of the Community Extensionand Social Action Unit of UERMMMCI.As fate would have it, the medicalschool was also on the lookout foranother site for their communitymedicine. After a series of meetingsand site inspections with schoolofficials, the final plan was to providenot just doctors but also nurses andphysical therapist for a morecomprehensive service that will

address the health needs of the

community.

These medical personnel would becompletely immersed and live amongthe residents within a prescribedduration to identify and prioritizehealth problems and apply the properprograms. Treatment for common ail-ments would be provided but the focuswould be more on preventive health

medicine.

After a Memorandum of Agreemwas signed by the parties conce( NHA , UE R M M M CI , M un i cGovernment of Montalban, and Metro West Triangle), work begaearnest and the integrated hecomplex was completed. This comhouses the health center as well aslodging for the doctors, nurses physical therapist who will be livin

The official start as well as guidelines for the rotation of hepersonnel is still on final reviewUERMMMCI. In the meantime, regmissions will be done starSeptember 8, 2013. The work has just begun. Next in line are livelihood, education and logov er nance pr o j ec ts fo r community. There are a lot of thing

be done and accomplished, RCMWT Rotarians remain comm

Cubao West cleans up canals & waterways to protect the community from diseasBy Secretary Melchor K. Waje, RC Cubao West

In order to gain active support fromthe Local Government Units and the

nearby barangay residents, the RotaryClub of Cubao West headed by FirstClass President Josie M. Garciaaunched the Linis Estero Program, A

atBarangay Masambong and BarangayTalayan. In coordination with the AlayKay Inay Foundation, Batang QCFoundation, Barangay Kulitan, QCDPOS, QC Parks & Wildlife Office, QC-CRO, and local street-sweepers, some70-80 Rotarians and youth volunteersspent the whole Sunday, July 7th,cleaning up the esteros and waterwaysn the 2 barangays.

Braving the 10 foot drop, the earlycleaners promptly dug in, raked andswept away the litter and garbage inheir line of sight. Covering more than

1,000 square meters area, these river

warriors spent the entire morning

cleaning up the area under the bridgeof Barangay Talayan. Bringing variouscleaning implements including picks,shovels, rakes, dust pans, brooms andgloves, they cleared the area whilesweating under the sun. The local

residents watched the clean-up withnterest and quickly helped thecleaners by bringing in ladders andsome sacks to take up theaccumulated garbage.

As the garbage and filth were slowlyremoved, a Rotarian microbiologistapplied the new anti-dengue powderapproved by the BFAD to exclusively killmosquitoes on standing and freelowing water of the esteros. Already

being used in the USA and Europe

since 1983, this biological pesticidecan kill 100% mosquito larvae within24 hours and can still remain 80% ef-ective even after 3 weeks of

application. The mosquito larvicide wasplaced in stagnant waters and at seweroutflows in the area. In order not to beswept away, the powder wasngeniously placed in folds of discardedcloth and secured in running water.This teabag effect allows for a larger

area of the polluted waters to be

similarly inoculated. The activeingredients of the product are specialstrains of the bacteria, Bacillus thur-ingiensis and Bacillus sphaericus. Theyproduce toxins specific only tomosquitoes, and thus is safe to

humans, pets, fish and even otherinsects.

The local residents had a crash courseon the product application and weregiven enough powder for their indoorand outdoor use. Alongside the anti-dengue campaign, the residents werealso given biological insecticide madefrom various plant sources as spray tocontrol adult mosquito population.

The mood during the clean-up was lightbut energetic. The youth lent theirmuch needed muscle to make thecampaign an environmental triumph.In light of this successful clean-up,RCCW Pres Josie is forming a River

Warriors group that will continue on

doing these kinds of project until allthe QC rivers become clean and safe

once again. Already, many youthsigning up vowing to become agenenvironmental change.

The Linis Estero Project has beeproduct of the Linis Estero Forumat the Gazebo 2 of Barangaysambong on June 29, 2013. Duthe forum, environmental speafrom QC Parks and Wildlife shtheir insights on the status of environment, global warming various types of pollution.

Pres. Josie, appointed as the Chairman for Environmental Protecand Management by Gov. FraRivera of RI District 3870, reiterthat the Rotary Club of Cubao Weswell as the other Rotary Clubs schedule clean

We will see more River Warriors a

visit each barangay, inspiring the residents to take better care of environment. These rivers are not

ours, but for our children as wquipped Pres. Josie. We will clea

the esteros however we can, destroy the mosquitoes as welmake the residents safe from denmalaria and other mosquito reldiseases.

Dear fellow Rotarians,

Our goal in 2013-14 is to Engage Ro-tary, Change Lives . All of us know thatRotary has incredible potential to dogood work. Its time to recognize how

much more we could be doing andstart working on new ways to turn that

potential into reality. Were going to do this by engaging

Rotarians by getting them involved, by getting theminspired, and by making sure that all Rotarians know justwhat a gift they have in Rotary.

Were going to make sure that the work we do in Rotary is

solid, effective, and sustainable. And were going to make

sure that Rotary itself will last by committing to our goalof 1.3 million Rotarians in our clubs by the year 2015.

That goal is a little different from membership goals weve

had in the past. The goal isnt just bringing in newmembers. The goal is growing Rotary. The goal is makingRotary bigger, not just with more members, but with moreinvolved, engaged, motivated members who will be theones to lead us into our future.

Each of us has our own reason for joining Rotary but Ibelieve we all want to make a difference. We all want to bedoing something meaningful. That is absolutely essentialfor us to remember when we talk about membership.

Were not asking just anyone to join Rotary. Were looking

to attract busy, successful, motivated people who care.

Were asking them to take their valuable time and give itto Rotary. So if they say yes, and they come and join ourclub, then wed better be showing them that their time in

Rotary is well spent.

We have to make sure that everyRotarian, in everyclub,has a meaningful job one that makes a real difference tothe club and the community. Because when youre doing

something meaningful in Rotary, Rotary is meaningful toyou.

In Rotary, we all have something to give. At every stage ofour lives and our careers, Rotary has something for all of

us a way to let us do more, be more, and give more.Rotary gives our lives more meaning, more purpose, andgreater satisfaction. And the more we give through Rotary,the more Rotary gives back to us in return.

Ron D. BurtonPresident, Rotary International

Polios endgame

In Korea, we have a proverb:

. It means, Ahardships comes happiness, and it is

encouragement to work hard in the fof adversity.

Polio eradication is long, hard work, but when we hfinished this job, we will have achieved something wonde and lasting.

Since PolioPlus was launched, we have immunized over billion children and have seen a 99 per cent decreasepolio cases. These past few years, we have made enormprogress.

But this last effort the home stretch is the hardescosts approximately US$1 billion every year to maintain

fight against polio. Even once we see no new cases of powe are committed to supporting eradication until the wis certified polio-free a full three years after the last cis recorded. Were getting closer, but we are not there yet

Until that historic moment, we must continue the fight weverything we have. We have to keep up the momentkeep up the energy, and keep up the awareness. EvRotarian needs to understand what polio is and why we committed to its eradication. The answer is simple: If were to stop our fight against polio now, we would leverything we have worked for over so many years. V

soon, we would see a resurgence of polio to the levels soof us remember from 30 years ago, when more than 1,0children were paralyzed every day. Polio would againepidemic and we would have lost the opportunity olifetime.

This is something we cannot and will not consider. We arit until the end and the end is truly This Close. Polio global health emergency not because the end is so distabut because it is in sight.

Ravindran said its important for

Rotarians to share their stories,especially through social media, soothers can see the impact Rotary hashad in their lives. He said its also

important for the organization to speak

with a consistent voice. Our identity

must remain simple and be based onour core values. It must be clear andstraightforward to both our internaland external audience.

Ravindran holds a degree in commerceand is founder and CEO of PrintcarePLC, a publicly listed company andglobal leader in the tea packagingindustry. He also serves on the boardof several other companies and

charitable trusts. He is the foundingpresident of the Sri Lanka AntiNarcotics Association, the largestantinarcotics organization in Sri Lanka.
