June 29, 2010 was a joyous occasion for RCHS as it celebrated its 5th Charter Anniversary at the Tahanang Pangkabuhayan, Inner Wheel Bldg at Bgy Holy Spirit, Quezon City. Grac-ing the event were RI District 3780 officials PDG Danny Fausto, AG Chito Borromeo, AG Rencie Padernal and AGR Butch Madarang. A highlight of the event was the induction of the presidents of thirteen (13) Magnegosyo Clubs which RCHS has adopted as the beneficiary-groups of the Magnegosyo Program, the flagship program of RCHS for RY 2010-2011. As expounded by Pres Lyds Pedernal, the Magnegosyo Program aims to create livelihood opportunities for the poor and other vulner-able groups. The beneficiaries are given livelihood training, business management ser-vices and enterprise development assistance to help generate additional income for their families. The Magnegosyo Program is a joint undertaking of RCHS, Barangay Holy Spirit, SIGE Foun-dation Inc, and the Philippine Red Cross. RCHS will be responsible for providing technical assistance in enterprise development through the Magnegosyo Clinic and Business Man-agement seminars. In separate inspirational messages delivered by PDG Danny Fausto and AG Chito Bor-romeo, staunch supporters of RCHS, the Club was encouraged to pursue its flagship pro-gram on livelihood without let-up. Outgoing Pres Linda Palattao, who was still in America after attending the RI Convention in Montreal, sent a message thanking RCHS officers and members for making her term a year of achievements. Her message was read by PE Ped Condeno.

President’s Corner Lydia L. Pedernal

After the rich harvests, it is time to plant again!

The Rotary Year 2010-2011 has ushered in. RCHS has a new set of officers. After having been awarded as one of the Outstanding Rotary Clubs of the Year with Outstanding IPP Linda Palattao, the Club now faces a big challenge of doing even more and better. Now, the new set of officers and directors must unite and work even harder for the Club to be equal to that gigantic task. IPP Linda Palattao was awarded one of the Out-standing Presidents for having been primarily respon-sible for the impressive turn-around from an almost unknown club to a well-admired club in the district. Kudos to IPP Linda Palattao for the magnificent stew-ardship of the Club during the RY 2009-2010. RCHS is also proud to have as its member IPP Linda who has been designated Assistant Government Rep-resentative of RI District 3780 for RY 2010-2011. June 29, 2010 was a great night for RCHS. The cele-bration was a break-away from the traditional Rotary events where members and guests hold a program to provide opportunities for former Rotarians to be re-united with current Rotary members and present rec-ognition awards to outstanding members. That night was graced by PDG Danny Fausto, Assistant Gover-nors Chito Borromeo and Rencie Padernal, AGR Butch Madarang and forty (40) guests from the barangay — all officers of the purok-based Magnegosyo Clubs which will eventually comprise the Rotary Community Corps (RCC). The Magnegosyo Club Officers were inducted into office by Assistant Governor Rencie Padernal who resides in Don Enrique Heights of Bgy Holy Spirit. It was indeed a heroic gesture from the RCHS Rotarians to guest forty community-based beneficiaries in a for-mal function like the 5th Charter Anniversary. Con-gratulations to RCHS! The Club has started to plant good seeds again. Similarly, on July 1, the date of the assumption of the leadership posts of the new RCHS officers, eight (8) Rotarians from RCHS joined at least eight (8) other clubs of Rotary International District 3780 in blood-letting rites at the Quezon City Red Cross as a gift of life to the new District Governor Pablo “Ambo” Gan-cayco who turned 53 on that historic day of July when he also assumed the Governorship of Rotary Interna-tional District 3780.

Rotarian Lyds Pedernal officially assumed the top post of RCHS on July 1, 2010. Above photo shows Pres Lyds being congratu-lated by District Gov Pablo “Ambo” Gancayco during the PETS Seminar in Clark Field, Pampanga in March 2010. Joining the Governor is his spouse, Ms Dot Gancayco. Pres Lyds brings to the Rotary Family her rich experience in government where she held various executive positions at the Technology and Livelihood Resource Center (now TRC or Tech-nology Resource Center). She currently works as Assistant Pro-gram Manager of the Program Management Office of the Phil-ippine Red Cross and as Director of the PRC Chapter in Quezon City. Pres Lyds has a Doctorate in Education. She will focus on her program thrusts for RY 2010-2011, to wit: Poverty Alleviation, Health and Wellness, Literacy, Environ-mental Protection, and Youth Development.

PDG Danny Fausto is presented an award of recognition during the Club’s 5th Charter Anniversary on June 29 for his unrelent-ing, unselfish support to RCHS. The Club will always remember PDG Fausto as the District official who refused to let RCHS die. Also presented plaques of appreciation during that occa-sion were AG Chito Borromeo, AG Rencie Padernal and AGR Butch Madarang.

A medical-dental mission was organized by our sister club, RC Marikina North, in partnership with SM Foundation Inc on July 15, 2010. The mission was conducted through the intervention of our Chair for Health & Wellness, PP Dr Roger Belleza, who coordinated with SM Foundation for the supply of medi-cines, medical supplies and the mobile x-ray and ECG van. A total of 868 pa-tients availed of free medical consultations while the following were benefici-aries of other free services: 100 ECG, 121 x-ray, 100 bone scanning, 90 tooth extractions. After the mission, RCHS officers & members were treated to lunch by the officers & members of RC Marikina North. Both clubs agreed to hold a joint meeting on Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Rotarians IPP Linda, then PP Dodgie, Doc Belleza, Dr Bong, Thelma and Ric were there last July 15th.

PP Dodgie Osabel assumes presidency of RCHS for RY 2010-2011; Governor’s visit and induction rites re-set to September 30

Following the unexpected resignation of Dr Lydia Pedernal last July 29, 2010, PP Diogenes S. Osabel has agreed to take over the leadership of the club upon the request of its officers and directors. PE Ped Condeno had earlier expressed his unavailability to assume the presidency one year prior to his scheduled turn. Cong Dodgie was the club’s president during RY 2008-2009. Consequently, the date for the Governor’s visit and induction rites has been moved to September 30, 2010.

We’ve missed you, Twinkie! Photo shows Rotarian Twinkie Kim (seated, third from left) who had been tied up with busi-ness involvements for the past months.

President’s Corner Diogenes S. Osabel

Dear Fellow Rotarians!

This Rotary year will be another try-ing and challenging time for our fledgling, yet already award-winning, Club.

At the start of the year, President Lydia Pedernal had to resign for health reasons. (Let us wish Dr. Pedernal well, and pray for her full recovery. God-speed, partner!)

As your “recycled” President, I am confident that, when we work together, we can easily deliver the targets that we hope to deliver this year:

1. Re-double our drive for membership: each club member to bring in at least one recruit;

2. Sustain Club support for Barangay projects (notably, the Halamanan sa Bakuran, Zero Waste: Recycling & Composting, the Digital Community Billboard, and Magnegosyo);

3. Support other on-going projects of the mem-bers (the feeding and reading program of IPP Linda Palattao at Payatas, the medical mis-sions & gift-giving led by Dr. Roger Belleza, the Alternative Learning System Project of Rotarian Jun Delgra, and the President’s on-line portal that provides valuable and useful knowledge and information for LGUs and local leaders);

4. Support the Club’s commitment under the MOA with Center for Tuberculosis in Children particularly in relation to treatment of sick chil-dren in the “Karlife” compound in Holy Spirit.

5. Strengthen its sisterhood link with RC Marikina North, and finalize the on-going discussion with a Rotary club in Korea;

6. Sustain the publication of The Dove; 7. Improve our finances through more fund-

raising projects; and 8. Contribute at least $1,000 to TRF.

With every member taking a LEAD or SUPPORT role in our Club projects, God willing, this trying and challenging Rotary Year will also be another fruitful milestone year for the Rotary Club of Holy Spirit.

Go, go, go, RCHS !!! For God’s greater glory!

RCHS co-hosts InterCity meet on Volunteerism

Dr Bong and PE Ped Condeno (left photo above) represented the Club at the InterCity Club meeting held last July 13th. This was co-hosted with seven other clubs in the District. The theme was, Volunteerism: Rotarians Taking the Lead. Guest speaker Mr Richard Gordon reminded attendees that volunteerism involves giving service and asking nothing in return. He exemplified the challenges of organizing and lead-ing volunteer workers based on his experience as City Mayor of Olongapo during the Mt Pinatubo eruption in 1992.

News Feed from ROTARY INTERNATIONAL RI strategic plan is in effect

With the start of the new Rotary year, Rotary International’s revised strategic plan officially went into effect.

The plan comprises three priorities, all of equal importance to Rotary’s future: support and strengthen clubs, focus and increase hu-manitarian service, and enhance public image and awareness. These priorities stem from Ro-tary’s core values of service, leadership, diver-sity, integrity, and fellowship.

Effective community service projects are es-sential to increasing Rotary’s commitment to humanitarian service. Consider developing a project in one of The Rotary Founda-tion’s areas of focus and pursuing a coopera-tive relationship with a local organization.

RC Holy Spirit resolves concerns about service pro-jects for the next several months

PP Dr Roger Belleza, Chair of Health & Wellness, informed the club that SM Foundation Inc, a major sponsor in RCHS medical missions and gift-giving projects last year, has decided that forthwith such co-sponsored events shall all be held within the vicinity of SM malls for improved ser-vice delivery and convenience. Where it would be a problem to bring pa-tients and children to project sites outside the locality, members agreed to seek assistance of other partner institutions like PCSO, homeowner associations and other donor agencies to carry out such humanitarian projects within the community.

President’s Corner Diogenes S. Osabel Those engaged in the betterment of communities or alleviation of poverty know the importance of informa-tion. For example, health workers shudder at the high inci-dence of malnutrition, illness, and deaths that could be prevented if peo-ple were better informed. We already possess the knowledge to address the many issues of poverty – from the more tangible concerns of health, education and literacy, food, housing, water and sanitation, employment, micro-finance, social protec-tion, environment, organization and governance, etc. to the intangibles of culture, moral values, and character. What is absent is the mechanism that would make community-oriented knowledge and information accessible to our people.

Efforts to deliver on the agenda of people’s access have failed because:

• Many government officials themselves have little knowledge about ICT and are easily taken to the sales talks of IT vendors.

• Government procurement system makes timely acquisition and/or repair of computers, software, and peripherals difficult.

• The key staff is not adequately remunerated. • Lack of continuity in the face of political change. • Insufficient attention to the information needs of the communities. We have taken the initiative to develop a pro-poor portal to complement

the work of government. Let us hope and pray the public-private part-nership that we seek would be realized.

The portal, alagad.com.ph, will help not just its users, but also our part-ners, including the Rotary Club of Holy Spirit, and hopefully our very own RI District 3780.

With their participation in the portal, they will be able to:

• Establish their public information program at a fraction of the cost. • Interact with their publics through a dedicated forum. • Establish linkages with government agencies, LGUs, NGOs, CBOs,

and other civic organizations for alliance building in policy advocacy. • Access information and resources that they themselves may need. The only way to make a significant change for the poor is through partner-ship.

RC Holy Spirit rolls out roadmap for ef-fective club operation

Club administration initiatives in Rotary are typically drawn from the mandate defined by RI for the com-mittee: • Help organize weekly and special programs. • Publish the club bulletin and maintain a club Web

site. • Help the club secretary track club attendance. • Promote fellowship among club members. • Conduct any other activities associated with the ef-

fective operation of the club.

For this Rotary Year, our focus in club administra-tion shall be:

1. Enrich programs for Club meetings by arranging for speakers/resource persons in at least six meet-ings, including Classification Talks by members, and a “Rotary Minute” in every meeting.

Desired outcomes – • Increased learning for members • Livened up meetings • Improved attendance

2. Help all members learn the Internet as medium forcommunication as we expand Club bulletin distri-bution, and prepare for an RCHS web site.

Every member should be able to -

• Create e-mail accounts • Open & read emails, including those:

Announcements & reminders from Club officers

The Dove, our Club Bulletin Updates received from Rotary Interna-

tional and District 3780 • Compose & send email messages to others • Browse www.rotary.org to appreciate wealth

of information available in that site

3. To help enhance fellowship among members, arrange for a team-building exercise conveniently timed with a fellowship-service activity such as out-of-town tree-planting, for example.

PE Ped Condeno, VP-PN Kent Valderrama, and Rtn Twinkie Kim have agreed to work with Club Admin Chair Ric Salvador and Pres Dodgie Osabel in these initiatives.

RCHS members get insights on club administration

The club’s regular weekly meeting last August 18 was a great learning session for RCHS members as Club Admin Chair Ric Salvador shared major highlights of the CATS (Club Administration Training Seminar) he attended on August 14. It is very interesting to note that club administration is a function not only of key officers of the club, but of all members of the club as well. Essentially, effective club admini-stration is good housekeeping. Print-outs of the presentation shall be distributed during the meeting tonight. We had the privilege of having Messrs Lino Rondon and Albert Fua as distinguished guests during the meeting.

News Feed from Rotary International

Parton & Rotary partner to promote reading

On 6 March, country music legend Dolly Parton and Rotary International announced a collaborative relationship to begin a new chapter in promoting early childhood reading.

Under the agreement, clubs are encouraged to support the Dollywood Foundation's Imagination Library, which provides a book each month to children from birth until age five.

The Imagination Library is especially valuable for children in underprivileged families, who may find books to be an unaf-fordable luxury in today's economic slowdown.

For an annual cost of $28 per child, the Dollywood Founda-tion sends children registered for the program one book a month, beginning with The Little Engine That Could . The books are age appropriate and range from life lessons to bedtime stories.

About 115 Rotary clubs already participate, and that number will triple with the addition of all 203 clubs in Georgia, the first to sign on under the new agreement.

"For decades, Rotary clubs worldwide have supported liter-acy programs for children and adults," says Rotary Founda-tion trustee John Germ. "This collaborative relationship with the Dollywood Foundation will help lift our literacy effort to the next level by promoting early childhood reading."

According to the Dollywood Foundation, research shows that preschoolers exposed to reading are more likely to look for-ward to starting school, do well in class, read at or above grade level, finish high school, and go on to college.

On-line partnership project is introduced Pres Dodgie Osabel presents the features of an innovative on-line project where partner organizations such as RCHS may access information they may need in their community service projects and transact with government enti-ties & their beneficiaries through a dedicated forum.

Medical missions for needy communities continue PP Dr Roger Belleza, dedicated & indefatigable Chair of RCHS Health & Wellness Committee, led an SM sponsored medical mis-sion in Nasugbu Batangas last Aug 28 for almost 700 patients: Medical— 516; dental-98; ecg- 20; and FBS- 59.

RCHS had a unique opportunity last August 25, 2010 to strengthen ties with sister club RC Marikina North (RCMN) of RI District 3800. Pres Dodgie Osabel led officers and members of RCHS in welcoming RCMN Pres Dodgie Leyva and the top officers of RCMN as follows: PE Terry Amado, VP Bassie Cruz, PP Tess Estrellado, and PP Ging Ramos.

We were privileged to have as guests RI District 3780 PDG Danny Fausto and AG Rencie Padernal.

Both clubs presented and discussed their respective projects for a possible collaboration that will benefit the communities they serve.

RCMN PP Ging Ramos presented the Concentrated Language Encounter (CLE) Lighthouse Literacy Pro-gram which the club has been implementing for years now (the club’s CLE Stage 3 is on-going). The CLE is an immersion program where pupils are put through an enjoyable and effective way of learning to read. After the meeting, RCHS and RCMN members continued to enjoy moments together by wining, singing, and conversing with one another. Truly, it was a night of fellowship between the two clubs.

The Object of Rotary First formulated in 1910, the Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a ba-sis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to en-courage and foster:

FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;

SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthi-ness of all useful occupations, and the dignify-ing of each Rotarian's occupation as an oppor-tunity to serve society;

THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;

FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

5 Avenues of Service Based on the Object of Rotary, the Five Avenues of Service are Rotary’s philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on which club activity is based:

Club Service focuses on strengthening fel-lowship and ensuring the effective function-ing of the club.

Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards.

Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to im-prove life in its community.

International Service encompasses ac-tions taken to expand Rotary’s humanitar-ian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace.

New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership develop-ment activities, service projects, and ex-change programs.

News Feed from Rotary International

A new Rotary year has began, and with it a num-ber of changes to the way clubs do business.

The 2010 Council on Legislation, which met in April, took several actions that went into effect 1 July. Among them:

• E-clubs will become a permanent part of Rotary Interna-tional after years of participating in a pilot project. Districts will be allowed up to two e-clubs, which are defined as Ro-tary clubs that meet through electronic communications. Some of the pilot e-clubs have been meeting solely through online forums, while others have combined electronic with in-person meetings.

• New Generations Service will join the other Avenues of Ser-vice -- Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service, and International Service.

• No club may limit membership based on sexual orientation.

• Clubs must inform their district governor of a proposed change to the club name or locality at least 10 days before voting on the proposal.

• The immediate past club president will be considered a club officer and a member of the board.

• The RI Board may suspend or terminate the membership of any club that retains any member who has misused funds from The Rotary Foundation or who otherwise has breached the stewardship policies of the Foundation.

• Clubs accepting a transferring or former Rotarian must first secure a certificate from the former member’s club confirm-ing that person’s membership. The former club is obligated to verify that the member does not owe any debts to the club. A prospective member cannot join a new club until all debts have been paid.

RC Holy Spirit initiates support for skills-for-livelihood training of Holy Spirit National High School students

Service Above Self

Medical missions for needy communities continue PP Dr Roger Belleza, dedicated & indefatigable Chair of RCHS Health & Wellness Committee, led another SM sponsored medi-cal mission in Batangas City yesterday, September 7, for over 1,000 patients: Medical— 580; dental-102; ecg– 58; x-ray—100; and bone screening—200.

Clockwise from photo at left: Two students learn and practice manicure techniques as part of the lesson in technology & livelihood subject; chart reminds students of the key steps in the manicure procedure; and photo above shows Master Teacher Ms Amie Q. Cuasto and Principal Ms Zaida M. Padullo of HSNHS, and IPP Linda Palattao of RC Holy Spirit. IPP Linda turned over a donation of manicure kits for use by the stu-dents.

Holy Spirit National High School, public school with 4,500 students, has rolled out the innovative Career Pathways program within the regular curriculum for high school from first year through fourth year levels. Depending on their inter-est, students choose specializations to develop skills in, including journalism, electronics & information technology, culinary arts, and cosmetology. The ex-pected outcome of the program is to help students acquire marketable skills for livelihood. School officials estimate that only 20% of their graduates are able to proceed to college.

The RI president’s monthly message September 2010 Bigger, Better, Bolder This year marks a significant anniversary for Rotary! Although the Rotary Club of Chicago started in 1905, the first con-vention of Rotary clubs was held in August of 1910 with 60 Rotarians representing 16 clubs. Our history as an organization of Rotary clubs started with that meeting in 1910, and we are now commencing a second century of service for Rotary as an association.

All of us want this century of service to be even more successful than the last. Therefore, this is an opportune time to ask: Are we taking the right steps to ensure that success? Are we doing the right things? Do we have a clear vision of the future? In the words of “ America the Beautiful,” can we “see beyond the years”?

As Rotary’s 100th president, I believe we are moving in the right direction. Our 33,000 clubs are Rotary’s biggest asset, and our success in the next 100 years will depend on the ability of our clubs to remain vibrant and vital. Their strength will determine our success!

The RI Board has taken several steps to offer more as-sistance to our clubs this year, including creating the Rotary Coordinators program to assist district governors in providing information about Rotary International’s pro-grams and best practices to the clubs.

I firmly believe that if we help our clubs to become better and bolder, then the clubs will become bigger – both because of the increased pride of our Rotarians in their clubs and the increased awareness of Rotary by pro-spective members. Therefore, my goal is to help the dis-trict governors to help their clubs to become Bigger, Bet-ter, and Bolder!

This is a great time to be a Rotarian. Together we can make this century of service even more exciting than the last!

Notes from Membership Development Seminar IPP Linda Palattao, Chair RCHS Membership

The district seminar last August 28th was on Membership and Public Relations. The membership committee should work with other club committees to meet goals:

Public relations committee. Tell Rotary stories and it will be our passport to success in recruiting new members. When a positive spirit comes alive in our clubs we inspire communities and when they are inspired by our service and presence, we will attract new members.

Service projects committee. To ensure that projects are relevant to club members and to involve non-Rotarians in service projects for them to better understand the oppor-tunities for service that membership provides.

Club Administration committee. To plan weekly programs that educate members about Rotary and address their personal needs and interests.

RI priority requires that, we must attract the youth to join Rotary and to be able to do this, we need creativity and ingenuity in membership development.

The goal of Rotary International this year is to make:

BIGGER CLUBS: Have diverse membership

Have improved recruitment programs.

Have improved retention programs.

BETTER CLUBS: Have balanced programs in the five avenues of service

Have emphasis on the core values of Rotary

Follow the strategic plans of Rotary

Have programs in developing leaders

BOLDER CLUBS: Have flexible and innovative projects and meetings

The members are action oriented

Have significant projects

Promotes networking opportunities

One speaker offered tips on how Rotary could be posi-tioned as the first choice among volunteer organizations.

Member retention, the partner of recruitment By Arnold R. Grahl Rotary International News -- 26 August 2010

The workshop facilitated by Mike McGovern, 2009-10 Member-ship Development and Retention Committee chair and past RI vice president, "Member Retention: Closing the Back Door," gen-erated many valuable ideas for retaining members.

Workshop attendees scrambled to write down all the ideas for increasing member retention. A sampling includes:

• Make Rotary fun. • Travel together to club meetings and projects – or take a

club trip together. • Form a hiking fellowship to get active outside of weekly

meetings. • Find out what gets a member excited about Rotary. • Do a hands-on project instead of the regular meeting once a

month. • Identify a signature project -- one the club is known for

throughout the community. • Develop a buddy system, pairing up a new member with an

existing member. • Designate someone to round up members who haven't par-

ticipated in a while. • Plan outings to involve new Rotarians and their families. • Invite families to club meetings. • Ask “Rotarians in name only” what they want to do.

To recruit & retain members, Club needs enhanced image, relevant projects, member participation & fellowship — PP Francis Rivera

Service Above Self

Medical missions for needy communities continue PP Dr Roger Belleza, dedicated & indefatigable Chair of RCHS Health & Wellness Committee, led another SM spon-sored medical mission at North Harbor Tondo September 18, for over 1,000 procedures: Medical— 635; dental ex-tractions—180; ecg– 100; x-ray—212.

Last September 15, 2010 guest speaker PP Atty Francis Rivera, District 3780 Chair of the Membership Development Committee, shared valu-able ideas on the recruitment and retention of members. He said that it is important to enhance the image of the club to attract prospective members. Service projects must be carefully planned and imple-mented where members can actively participate and find relevance. Members should be made to experience not only the opportunity to serve but, more importantly, the chance to fellowship with one another. Service projects may be conducted out of town where members can find time for relaxation and fellowship upon completion of the projects. PP Francis also said that RI’s priority is the recruitment of women and young people into Rotary service. Lastly, PP Francis committed to help in the Club’s recruitment efforts.

FINAL REMINDERS FOR SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 Governor’s Visit and Induction Rites 1. Committee heads, please prepare Powerpoint presentation slides of your Committee’s

Plans for RY 2010-2011, and turn in copies of these files to President Dodgie so he could have these reports integrated into one presentation file.

2. Officers & members concerned, please note your roles in the Programme and get in touch with either Pres Dodgie or Treas Marcia if you will have any questions.

.From the RI President WINDS OF CHANGE

What an amazing world! Advances in tech-nology are happening so quickly that they cause constant changes in our busi-nesses and professions. Yet about one-third of the world’s population is still living at a subsis-tence level with little change in their lives. It is a stark con-trast and a cause for concern.

Rotary has both a distinguished heritage and a bright fu-ture. My primary task as president is to enhance the vital-ity and viability of Rotary clubs and to enable them to suc-ceed in the midst of societal changes. This is an important task because it is the clubs that address and alleviate the root problems of society and thereby make the world a better place.

Wind of change was a new and significant phrase when I was a Rotary Scholar in South Africa in the early 1960s. It is serendipitous that the phrase that was first publicized in my host city of Cape Town is now applicable to Rotary as we contemplate the changes in society that dictate some corresponding changes in our organization. The phrase is now better known as winds of change.

We are currently enjoying a culture of innovation at Rotary International. We have the ability to look at all of our pro-grams and practices to see if they can be improved, even as we steadfastly maintain our core values. I hope many Rotarians will take advantage of this opportunity to iden-tify and implement improvements in their clubs and dis-tricts as well.

Rotary lives and breathes in our 33,000 clubs, and it is the clubs that improve lives by Building Communities – Bridging Continents. If we succeed in helping clubs to be-come Bigger, Better, and Bolder in the next year, then it will be clear that the best days of Rotary are still ahead. We are fortunate to be Rotarians! Together, we can make the world a better place! Ray Klinginsmith President, Rotary International RY 2010-2011 July 2010

From Club AdMin Committee—Ric Salvador, Chair LEADERSHIP

Our topic for tonight’s learning session is Leadership. Our objective is to develop common understanding of what con-stitutes effective leadership in organizations in general, and in a voluntary service organization like the Rotary Club in particular.

We will allocate our limited time in the following way: • Watch a 20-min video where we will hear what experts

say about “effective leadership.” These people include authors, researchers and live leaders like -

• Warren Bennis—Univ of Southern California

• Stephen Covey—Covey Leadership Institute

• Thomas Everhart—California Institute of Technology

• John Kotter—Harvard Business School

• Hortz Schulze—Pres. Ritz-Carlton Hotels

• Barbara Rodstein—Pres. Harden Industries

• Then hear PDG Danny Fausto relate the experts’ in-sights to Rotary environment, and his own views as to what basically constitutes effective leadership in Rotary.

In a related learning session last Nov 5th, VP-PN Kent Val-derrama discussed Servant Leadership where Kent stressed that Servant Leadership maybe a good model for Rotarians to follow considering our passion to serve and lead for the betterment of society. This concept is not new. It was devel-oped by Robert K. Greenleaf in 1970. The basic concept is that the servant leaders become an end in themselves rather than a means to an organizational purpose or bot-tom-line.

Servant leaders, according to Kent, devote themselves to serving the needs of organization members. They focus on meeting the needs of those they lead. They develop employ-ees to bring out the best in them. They coach others and encourage their self expression.

Our Resource Person PDG Danny Fausto, Chair of District Leadership Development Institute and himself a leader of business & civic organizations, will help us see what it takes to be an effective leader in Rotary.

To be an effective leader in Rotary, one should imbed the phi-losophy of “servant leadership” in his mindset - PDG Danny

Service Above Self

Medical missions for needy communities continue PP Dr Roger Belleza, dedicated & indefatigable Chair of RCHS Health & Wellness Committee, led another SM spon-sored medical mission in Rosario, Cavite September 23, for almost 1,200 procedures: Medical— 783; dental extrac-tions—150; ecg– 79; x-ray—120; bone scanning - 68.

In his talk before the officers , members and prospective members of RC Holy Spirit last September 22, 2010, PDG Danny Fausto very eloquently explained the leadership mindset that would best support the Object of Rotary. He inferred that in Rotary, the basis of leadership is not the unequal status of superior to-wards subordinates, but that of being first among friends and equals. PDG Danny further suggested that the foundation of leadership is not power nor au-thority, but love for friends which manifests itself in service, or one’s readiness to serve. Then he wove into his presentation the philosophy of “servant leader-ship,” drawing from the thoughts of well-known expert John Maxwell. In his presentation, PDG Danny took occasion to explain Rotary and Rotary membership to the guests, and why it would be best for them to join Rotary via RC Holy Spirit in the neighbourhood. PDG Danny in effect reinforced the effort of District Membership Chair PP Francis Rivera who had actually persuaded three of his friends to attend the meeting and eventually join RC Holy Spirit. The officers & members of RCHS sincerely thank both gentlemen for their sup-port for and confidence in the Club’s ability to provide service to the community.

The editors’ take on . . . Leadership Challenge in Rotary The leadership challenge in a Rotary Club seems to be posed not really by lack of ability nor inappropriate leader-ship philosophy on the part of the leader, say president or committee chair, but rather by the top-notch calibre of “the led” or club members. In Rotary, almost all members are already leaders of business, professional and community organizations which are probably even larger than the aver-age-size club with 27 members. So the question is, how does a club president, or committee head, effectively lead leaders who are there to render service on a voluntary basis and without remuneration? Servant-leadership mind-set will certainly help. In addition, as most of us have been practicing in our own organizations, it is an essential first-step for leaders to de-velop with his members a “vision” for the organization, and then to use this shared vision as a basis to jointly define the initiatives and activities that should be performed by the team during the period. Commitment to action and partici-pation would then be easier to obtain. The other way is for a club leader to define the vision and the priorities himself, and then present these for accep-tance by members in a meeting. For politeness, no one would likely interpose objections, but the important buy-in would not be there.

Who is Danilo Valenton Fausto ?

Our Resource Person on the topic of Leader-ship last September 22, 2010, and in many more occasions before then, is PDG Danny Fausto, Chair of District Leadership Develop-ment Institute of Rotary and himself a business executive and entrepreneur. (Economics from UP, MBA from DLSU) Beyond Rotary, PDG Danny is a multi-awarded leader of in-dustry, professional & civic organizations. He is a member of prestigious A-list organizations like Financial Executive Insti-tute of the Philippines (FINEX), Management Association of the Philippines (MAP), Philippine Chamber of Commerce & Industry (PCCI), Philippine Food Processors & Exporters Or-ganization, Philippine Inventors Society, and Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen and Professionals. PDG Danny had also been into bond and securities trading, and taught finance to graduating young ladies of St. Scho-lastica’s College in Manila. PDG Danny has been deeply involved, in various capacities, in countryside development and sustainable livelihood through dairy farming. He operates DVF Dairy Farm Inc, a carabao milk processing center that provides a ready mar-ket for farmers’ produce.

The Object of Rotary First formulated in 1910, the Object of Rotary is to en-courage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of wor-thy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an op-portunity for service;

SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotar-ian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;


FOURTH. The advancement of international under-standing, goodwill, and peace through a world fel-lowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.


Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functioning of the club.


Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community.

International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding & peace.

New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities, service projects, and exchange programs.

The RI president’s monthly message October 2010

“Way Down Yonder in New Orleans”

There have been many songs written about New Orleans due to its history and heritage as one of the music capitals of the world. I particularly like the happy sound of “Way Down Yonder in New Orleans,” whose lyrics now beckon us as we think about the 2011 RI Convention in that city, 21-25 May – a full month earlier than the RI conventions in recent years!

The New Orleans convention will officially start on Saturday – not on Sunday as it has for the past few years. The House of Friendship, the showplace of our annual conventions, will open on Saturday morning, and all preconvention meetings will end at noon on Saturday, to allow Rotarians and their guests to spend more time there before the plenary sessions start on Sunday.

Additional good news is that the House of Friendship will be located right next door to the plenary session hall in the convention center, and the hours of opera-tion will be extended to permit more fellowship and networking time for our visitors from around the Ro-tary world. It will be the place to be for Rotarians and their families!

How does one adequately describe the magic, the vibrancy, and the inspiration of a Rotary convention? Our conventions almost defy description because they are so diverse in their appeal. Rotary fellowship and networking are at their best as we meet our fel-low Rotarians from around the globe, and interna-tional service is truly enhanced as Rotarians make new friends from faraway places. So the best way to understand and appreciate a Rotary convention is to attend the outstanding event being planned for New Orleans. It will be one of the best RI conventions ever! I guarantee it!

Come join us in New Orleans as we work together to make the world a better place. And Let the Good Times Roll … Again! Laissez les bon temps rouler … encore!

RCHS welcomes Governor Ambo and District officers; 5 new members, Interact and Club officers are inducted

Unending medical missions for needy communities PP Dr Roger Belleza, dedicated & indefatigable Chair of RCHS Health & Wellness Committee, has announced forth-coming SM-sponsored medical missions that he will lead in behalf of RCHS: Oct 13, Bgy Kaligayahan Fairview; Oct 16, Project 6 QC; Oct 21, SM Fairview QC; and Oct 28, SM Bicutan Taguig.

September 30, 2010 was a red-letter day for RCHS when RI District 3780 Governor Pablo “Ambo” Gancayco came for his official visit. After the one-on-one meeting between Gov Ambo and Pres Dodgie, the club assembly was called to order for the presentation to the governor of Club targets & plans for RY 2020-2011.

The turn-over and induction rites were held at the clubhouse of Don Enri-que Heights. Interestingly, it was also at this venue where the first Gov-ernor’s Visit was held in December 2005, together with the charter pres-entation and induction of the charter officers and members.

In addition to turn-over and induction of club officers, the occasion fea-tured two very important events: induction into club membership of five new Rotarians, and induction of officers of the Interact of Holy Spirit.

The program was highlighted by the speech of the District Governor who spoke on leadership by example.

Health & Wellness Chair PP Dr Roger announces rollout of community service initiatives

Alternative Learning System for literacy and job preparation

The Alternative Learning System is a parallel learning system to provide a vi-

able alternative to the existing formal education structure.

There are two initiatives based on ALS concept:1) Basic Literacy Program and,

2) ALS Accreditation and Equivalency (A & E) of the Department of Education.

The ALS A&E is a 10-month educational program integrated with developmen-

tal activities like first-aid and HIV and drug abuse prevention training. It is in-

tended for Out-of-School Youth and Adults who are school dropout. Through

this program, the attendees are able to complete and obtain certification for

purposes of work placement, job promotion, or even enter college after meet-

ing certain other requirements.

Last October 6, 2010 Rtn RCHS Secretary JR Delgra, who is actively engaged

in the promotion of ALS as Officer-in-Charge of the Quezon City Alternative

Learning Institute Inc, presented an overview of a proposed 10-month ALS

A&E Program for joint partnership with RC Holy Spirit. Proposed project would

have 60 learners-beneficiaries, and require a total budget of P 283,000, of which P 175,000 would be expected to be sourced by RCHS. Members agreed

to explore ways of securing funding.

What is your club known for?

Rotary International News -- 24 September 2010 with Comments up to Oct 10, 2010

Developing activities that are visible in the community helps enhance

the public image and awareness of Rotary, one of the priorities of the

RI Strategic Plan. To encourage clubs to promote their own defining ac-

tivities and to gather input from Rotarians, RI Vice President Thomas M. Thorfinnson recently moder-

ated a discussion on Rotary 's official LinkedIn group. RC Holy Spirit and two other Philippine clubs

have offered comments. The Rotary Club of Malone, New York, USA, has built a reputation out of its spaghetti dinners. "They always have a huge turnout and significant merchant support," notes Martha Weaver, a member of the club. "More than once, we have run out of spaghetti sauce."

Mark Meyers, of the Rotary Club of Croydon South, Greater Lon-don, England, notes on LinkedIn that his club is known for its Christ-mas charity collection. "We organize a trailer with a sled on it and a public address system playing Christmas carols. Father Christmas encourages people to come out and greet their neighbors while club members circulate, asking for donations."

The Rotary clubs of Churchland-Portsmouth and Portsmouth, Vir-ginia, USA, hold a barbecue networking event full of food, refresh-ments, and live entertainment. According to Bill Pollard, a member of the Churchland-Portsmouth club, about 3,000 people attend the event, with each club netting about $10,000 to support local projects.

How does your club help support the goals of the strategic plan? Join the LinkedIn discussion. Some of the 16 Comments:

At 10:38AM on 8 October 2010, Gaurav Ahuja wrote: RC Delhi VASANT VALLEY (Distt 3010) is always a synonym to HUMANITAR-IAN CONTIBUTIONS. Till date we were working on Blood Donation Programs with much efficiency and dedication but now we've added a VALUE STAR in this by starting ORGAN DONATION program in this year under the leadership of our President Rtn Rajesh Goyal ji.

At 9:17AM on 5 October 2010, Ric Salvador, Chair of Club Admin wrote: We would like to think that our relatively new club, RC Holy Spirit of District 3780 in Quezon City Philippines, is viewed in its host community for its ability to partner with organizations such as the local government, homeowners’ groups, volunteer & donor organiza-tions, and other Rotary Clubs in the delivery of visible and highly ap-preciated service projects such as medical missions, anti-tuberculosis in children campaign, anti-rabies pet vaccinations, gift-giving, milk-feeding for malnourished pupils, and donation of school supplies. Though short-cycle in delivery, many of these projects leave long lasting benefits to the community where most residents are poor infor-mal settlers.

At 10:28AM on 4 October 2010, C RAY CARLSON wrote: Altadena Calif. Rotary's signature activity for 20 years is Youth Entrepreneur-ship Education both locally and abroad, which involves teaching basic business principles and how to write business plans that can lead to small business start-ups and the creation of JOBS, of which there are very few these days. Business-savvy Rotarians can as Vocational Service easily teach New Generations youth or train teachers, using the many available curricula. Business-plan competitions excite the kids and motivate them to study harder and remain in school. Have done this in Armenia, Lebanon, Nazareth/Jerusalem, Uganda (with World Bank), Zimbabwe, Zambia (with US Dept of State), Nigeria, Mexico, Poland, Native Americans. Details <[email protected]>

At 10:27AM on 4 October 2010, Ruteikara Sam (PP PHF) wrote: The RC Kampala East Uganda gives very interesting news stories known as "Kibooziboozi" - news told with humour. Many people both Rotarians and non-rotarians come to weekly meetings to listen.

At 11:08AM on 29 September 2010, RC Kamuning wrote: Every year for the past sixteen years, Rotary International District 3780, headed by the Rotary Club of Kamuning and the Division of City Schools of Quezon City have staged the Alay ng Rotary sa Araw ng Kabataan. This is a daylong youth activity which includes ten competition events partici-pated in by most of the schools in the city. This year, the 17th season will be launched on November 6, 2010 at the Amoranto Memorial Sports Complex along Roces Avenue, Quezon City. The youth activities will start at 7:30 in the morning and end at 4:00 in the afternoon. The theme, “Kabataan, Kabalikat sa Maayos na Kapaligiran” has been chosen to highlight the special role the youth of today will play in the protection and preservation of the environment. Rotary’s dream of a beautiful world for the new generations puts a premium not only on the alleviation of poverty & hun-ger and the promotion of good health and literacy but also on the preservation of the environment. Ours could be such a beautiful world if we keep it safe from environmental de-generation. This is the dream that we want our youth to share and the Araw ng Kabataan is one perfect way to cre-ate awareness among students in 143 public elementary and high schools within the city that will send more than 5,000 participants to the competitions.

At 9:38AM on 27 September 2010, PP Reynaldo Abel-lada wrote: I belong to RC Baguio Sunrise of D3790. For the past 6 years now, we choose and give recognitions to outstanding public school teachers from the public elemen-tary schools and public high schools. This has inspired our public school teachers who had to deliver the desired edu-cational instructions to our pupils and students mostly com-ing from the marginalized sectors of our society using mini-mal resources. We tag this annual search 'B.E.S.T. 2011" to mean Baguio’s Exemplary School Teachers and this has been widely covered by local print and broadcast media to include television. We focus on the innovations introduced by the school teachers to impart teachings to their students. This has motivated the public school teachers and has greatly improved the ratings of public schools in Baguio versus national level ratings.

The Object of Rotary First formulated in 1910, the Object of Rotary is to en-

life;

FOURTH. The advancement of international under-

standing, goodwill, and peace through a world fel-

lowship of business and professional persons united

in the ideal of service.

5 Avenues of Service

Based on the Object of Rotary, the Five Avenues of Service are Rotary’s philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on which club activity is based:

Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship

and ensuring the effective functioning of the club.

Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve

others through their vocations and to practice high

ethical standards.

Community Service covers the projects and activities

the club undertakes to improve life in its community.

International Service encompasses actions taken to

expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the

globe and to promote world understanding & peace.

New Generations Service recognizes the positive

change implemented by youth and young adults

through leadership development activities, service

projects, and exchange programs.

RCHS and partners form Diabetics Club; free fasting-

blood sugar screening on Saturday morning

The memorable event last Oct 13 was held at IPP Linda’s place. Members had

fun eating, singing and exchanging pleasantries. Rtn Peth Rivera brought a

tempting home-baked chocolate cake which even the diabetics could not resist

sampling. CP Nides who had just returned from Nepal serenaded all with his

harmonica. The fellowship was capped by the raffling off of a DVD player, a

prize solicited by Rtn Atty Ed Valbuena. The lucky winner was Rtn Dr Marlene

Martinez. Congratulations, Marlene! Not in the photo above: Rtn JR Delgra who

shot the photo and Rtn Myeong who had to leave earlier for an appointment.

In response to the prevalence of diagnosed cases of diabetes in the com-

munity, RC Holy Spirit and the Don Antonio Heights Homeowners Associa-

tion are forming a Diabetics Club with sponsorship and support of Na-

trapharma Inc.

Diabetes is a growing health problem and diabetics or diabetic-prone indi-

viduals cannot afford to ignore the dangers associated with the disease

and put their lives at risk. The Diabetics Club has been envisioned by PP

Dr Roger Belleza, Chair of Health & Wellness, to provide a forum where

those already afflicted, and those who are at risk, could discuss and learn

how to properly manage the disease.

As a first step, free FBS testing has been scheduled on Saturday, October

23, 2010 from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM at the DAHHA Health & Wellness Cen-

ter. Interested individuals, both Rotarians and non-Rotarians, should reg-

ister with Joan by calling telephone 952-2715 or 951-2661. FBS screening

requires fasting for at least 8 hours prior to 7:00 AM of Oct 23rd.

A Great Fellowship Night !

Tree Planting & Greening by Rotarians

Three tree-planting projects are noted on Page 4 of this issue of the bulletin: tree-planting along the Angat

River bank by the International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians last October 9, 2010; kick-off of the QC

Green City program at the Quezon Memorial Circle on October 10th; and the project started in 2005 by Ko-

rean Rotary districts to plant 250,000 trees in Mongolia to protect the area from Gobi sandstorms. And last

year, our club had been involved in several urban gardening/tree planting initiatives. Next month, we will be

involved in yet another tree-planting activity initiated by the District.

Why plant trees?

“The symbolism – and the substantive significance – of planting a tree has universal power

in every culture and every society on Earth, and it is a way for individual men, women and

children to participate in creating solutions for the environmental crisis.” Al Gore, Earth in the Balance

Forests provide not only environmental protection, but also livelihood for many forest-dependent people.

Trees produce a wide range of products like timber, fruit, food, medicine, beverages and fodder for examples,

and perform services like carbon dioxide absorption, oxygen emission, shade, wind protection, beautification,

erosion control and soil conditioning. Forests are also habitat for and support life of other flora & fauna.

Rotarians have planted trees in the name of fellowship, friendship, and community service since the early

20th century. These trees, which can be found worldwide, have grown into enduring monuments of Rotary’s

ideals, according to Rotary International. As president emeritus, Paul Harris traveled extensively during the

1920s and 1930s, often accompanied by his wife Jean. During those trips, the nature-loving Harris planted

trees to symbolize goodwill and friendship.

Tree planting has since evolved into another Rotary tradition. Indeed, this is one practice that would likely

survive a serious zero-base re-think of standing paradigms in a century-old organization.

Ric Salvador, RCHS Club Admin Oct 20, 2010

Medical missions continue to benefit increasing number of needy patients

PP Dr Roger Belleza, dedicated and indefatigable Chair of Health & Wellness Committee

Oct 13 in Barangay Kaligayahan, Fairview QC with 1,528 patients attended to: 1,108 medical con-

sultations; 120 dental extractions; 120 chest Xrays; 100 ECG examinations; and 80 bone scans

Oct 16 in Project 6 QC for Elderly Citizens with 1,139 patients: 839 medical consultations; 100

chest Xrays; 100 ECG examinations; and 100 bone scans.

The next SM-sponsored, Dr Belleza led medical-dental missions shall be as follows:

Oct 21 (tomorrow) at SM Fairview QC

Oct 28 at SM Bicutan, Taguig City

Really large-scale tree-planting

In 2005, Korean districts established a Matching Grant project to plant trees and shrubs in Mongolia as a windbreak against sandstorms that sweep off the Gobi every spring. Since the project's inception, more than a quarter million trees have been planted. The Gobi covers more than half a million square miles in central Asia, including por-tions of China and Mongolia. It is about 1,000 miles long and ranges from 300 to 600 miles wide.

The Object of Rotary First formulated in 1910, the Object of Rotary is to encourage

and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise

and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportu-

nity for service;

SECOND. High ethical standards in business and profes-

sions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occu-

pations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation

as an opportunity to serve society;

THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Ro-

tarian's personal, business, and community life;

FOURTH. The advancement of international understand-

ing, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of

business and professional persons united in the ideal of

service.

5 Avenues of Service Based on the Object of Rotary, the Five Avenues of Ser-vice are Rotary’s philosophical cornerstone and the founda-tion on which club activity is based:

Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and en-

suring the effective functioning of the club.

Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others

through their vocations and to practice high ethical stan-

dards.

Community Service covers the projects and activities the

club undertakes to improve life in its community.

International Service encompasses actions taken to ex-

pand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the globe and

to promote world understanding & peace.

New Generations Service recognizes the positive change

implemented by youth and young adults through leader-

ship development activities, service projects, and ex-

change programs.

Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER

FRIENDSHIPS?

Update from Committee Chairs


Rotary Quarter Admin Chair Ric Salvador Rotary Minute video Brief on RCHS e-bulletin



Lasting lessons by Susie O. Ma The Rotarian -- November 2010

Teaching a man to fish – and providing the rod, bait, and boat – is one way to carry out a sustainable project. The new global grants, part of The Rotary Foundation’s Future Vision Plan, require that projects keep on giving, long after the funds run out. Get ideas from successful efforts, each funded by the Foundation. Two of many such efforts reported by Ms Susie Ma are cited below for The Dove.

Feeding children in Romania Heifer International helped the Rotary clubs of Cluj Napoca, Romania, and Little Rock, Ark., USA, provide cows to farm-ers in Romania. Milk and meat from the animals feed chil-dren in need, and other cows are sold for income. Funding for the project ended in 2006, but more than 5,000 children continue to benefit every year. What makes it sustainable: Each family who received a cow was required to donate the first female calf to another family and slaughter the first male calf to provide protein to children in special education schools, orphanages, and pedi-atric hospitals. Additional offspring breed, and the cycle continues.

Spreading literacy in the Philippines Rotarians from districts 3800 (Philippines) and 2680 (Japan) worked together to continue a literacy program that began eight years ago in the Metro Manila area. The effort uses the concentrated language encounter (CLE) method to teach English to primary school students. (English and Filipino, based on Tagalog, are the nation’s two official languages.) The CLE method, developed by Rotarians, is used world-wide to provide literacy instruction in multiple languages. What makes it sustainable: Teachers are developing a manual tailored to their culture by using data collected from

programs in four Metro Manila cities. The manual will make it easier to train other teachers in the CLE method.

RC Holy Spirit supports district fund-raising project

Tree-planting activity of RC Holy Spirit is re-set

Due to time constraints, the club‘s tree-planting activity initially sched-

uled for Friday, Nov 12, 2010 shall be held at a later date, most likely

in early 2011. Year 2011 has been declared by the United Nations as

Year of the Forests.

View United Nations Program ―Celebrating Forests for People‖ http:Click

United Nations Declares 2011 Year of the Forests

The United Nations General Assembly declared 2011 as the International Year of Forests to raise awareness on sustainable management, conservation and sustainable develop-ment of all types of forests.

UN is working to raise awareness on sustainable management, conservation and sustain-able development of all types of forests.

The ―Globalroom Dancing‖, a fund-raising event of the District 3780 Spouses last November 6, 2010 was a huge success. The dance hall was filled to the brim with Rotarians and guests dancing the night away to the music of the renown Nonoy Lopez Band. RCHS Rotari-ans Peth Rivera, Marlene Martinez, Charing Gerochi and Marcia Sal-vador came with their friends in support of the project. IPP Linda also arrived after another engagement.

The RI President’s monthly message

November 2010

Reach Out to Africa

I was a Rotary Scholar at the University of Cape Town in 1961. During my year there, I traveled 16,000 miles through South Africa and the countries now known as Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Namibia. I visited 35 Rotary clubs, met countless Rotarians, and became immersed in the rich culture of Southern Africa.

During my initial visit, I developed a deep appreciation for both the traditions and the challenges of life in Africa, and my respect and admiration for the land and people have caused me to re-turn several times as a Rotarian. Now – almost amazingly – I have a unique opportunity to use my experience as a Rotary Scholar to enhance the role of Rotary in Africa!

This is the fourth year of the Reach Out to Africa (ROTA) initia-tive, and the ROTA Committee for this year has been stream-lined to move more quickly and efficiently to achieve its goals. We need to increase the number of Rotarians in Africa! I also hope to see a substantial increase in international service pro-jects for Africa, particularly those projects with assistance from The Rotary Foundation. The ROTA Committee has an excellent website, and I encourage all Rotarians to review it at www.reachouttoafrica.org .

I have implemented two new activities this year to make it easier for Rotarians to visit Africa and to increase their involvement in international service projects. The first is Ray’s Rotary Reun-ions, to be held in Cape Town 3-5 February, and I hope many Rotarians will join me in the Fairest Cape for that event. The second, Rotary Project Safaris, will facilitate visits by Rotarians to the areas of the world where poverty is prevalent, and where local Rotarians have developed many beneficial projects that need financial assistance. More information about the reunions and the safaris is available on the RI president’s pages at www.rotary.o rg/p res iden t . P lease con-tact [email protected] for any needed assistance.

I am proud to be a product of The Rotary Foundation, and it will be the most significant achievement of my presidency if I can serve as a catalyst to enhance Rotary in Africa! So come join me for the reunions and the safaris. Help me to complete the circle from being a Rotary Foundation Scholar in Africa to help-ing Rotary in Africa to be Bigger, Better, and Bolder! (Watch a video invitation from the president.)

INVOCATION

O Lord, whose will it is that all Your people should live together in harmony,

We thank You Lord for the opportunities we find in our club To widen our circle of friendship and goodwill as we provide service to others.

Lead us daily to find new avenues of service and goodwill in our business, professional, and personal life.

Give us patience in dealing with those who may not share the same views and priorities. Give us creativity in finding ways to express ourselves which will build better relationships.

And Lord, please provide us with a sense of humor that we may not take ourselves too seriously.

Bless Rotarians of Holy Spirit and their activities and service projects for the community.

May the world be a better place because Rotarians, their friends and other volunteer service organizations have been there.

Amen

We need more donations of toys so we could bring joy to more kids, hopefully up to 800 of them. A related good news is that some pledges of cash, toys and snacks have already been received from friends.

We urge all RCHS members to solicit more toy donations or pledges to ensure the success of our gift-giving project. Deadline for turn-over of toys is November 24, 2010.

Let‘s all lend support to our 3rd ‗Share-a-Toy‘ project on Dec 4th !


Reasons to support The Rotary Foundation

By Antoinette Tuscano Rotary International News -- 30 September 2010

By contributing to the Foundation you help support the Foundation's six areas of focus, which help to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the allevia-tion of poverty. By giving US$100 a year through the Every Rotarian, Every Year (EREY) initiative, you become a Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member.

5. Fighting hunger In Romania, orphans and sick children have eggs, milk, and meat because of a Foundation grant that benefits local farmers. The farmers are able to buy everything from animal feed to packaging materials. There is one stipulation: They must donate a portion of their products to children’s hospitals, schools, and orphanages. In Alaska, the Rotary Club of Anchorage East is also fighting hunger by dis-tributing food to low-income families through a mobile food pantry. Projects such as these help address the areas of focus of maternal and child health as well as economic and community development.

4. Reducing child mortality The Rotary clubs of Jaela-Kandana, Western Province, Sri Lanka, and Ma-dras Northwest, Tamil Nadu, India, are helping to reduce child mortality by providing improved sanitation facilities for 15 families in a small community in Sri Lanka. With a Rotary Foundation Matching Grant , the clubs have built 14 toilets, helping to prevent diarrhea and other diseases related to poor sanita-tion. According to the World Health Organization, 1.8 million children die of diar-rhea every year, making it the second leading cause of death among children under five. Proper sanitation can reduce the rate of child mortality in many communities by up to a third. Water & sanitation is the third area.

3. Promoting peace and conflict resolution Watching civil war tear apart his homeland of Côte d'Ivoire instilled in Rotary Peace Fellow Kouame Remi Oussou a passion to resolve conflict. He is now working for the United Nations Development Programme in the Central Afri-can Republic, a country that weathered periodic internal fighting before a comprehensive peace accord took effect in 2007.Read more about Oussou . Rotary Peace Fellows are leaders in promoting national and international cooperation, peace, and conflict resolution. Peace and prevention/resolution is the first area of focus.

2. Basic education and literacy Education helps rebuild lives, whether it's in small rural towns or in war-torn countries. For example, a literacy project sponsored by U.S. Rotarians in conjunction with the International Reading Association (IRA) is helping Suda-nese refugees rebuild their communities by equipping them to teach future generations. The Southern Sudan Teacher Training Initiative provides refugees of the decades-long civil war, who are known as the Lost Boys and Girls of Sudan, with teacher training materials, guidance, and support to help them teach students in kindergarten through eighth grade. "People returning from refugee camps to rebuild their lives in Duk County are hungry for books and school supplies," says John Dau, a Lost Boy, humanitarian, and founder of the John Dau Foundation. Read more about the project .

1. Eradicating polio Around the world, Rotarians are taking millions of steps in walkathons, diving into icy ocean waters, and participating in other fundraisers to help Rotary fulfill its promise to rid the world of polio. Rotary launched its PolioPlus pro-gram in 1985. Since then, eradicating polio has been the organization's top priority. End Polio Now and help fulfill its promise.

Rotary

In 1919, the past president of the Rotary Club of Seattle, Roger D. Pinneo established the first Rotary club in Shanghai on 17 July 1919 with 35 charter members. The Shanghai club was international in its membership: 80 percent Ameri-can, 10 percent British, and 10 percent Chinese.

Rotary experienced a resurgence in China after the war, with the admission or readmission of 19 clubs between 1946 and 1948, including Shanghai on 27 March 1946. The club, how-ever, was terminated five years later. The Shanghai club voted to suspend its activities in May 1951 citing the following reasons: members found it difficult to attend meetings regu-larly because of other duties, and it was increasingly difficult to arrange suitable programs. The RI Board terminated the club in October 1951. By January 1952, all clubs in mainland China had come to an end, although the number of clubs in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan continued to grow.

The Rotary Club of Shanghai returned. In 2006, Rotary wel-comed the Shanghai club, along with the Rotary Club of Bei-jing, into membership. Only foreign passport holders may join these clubs until the government approves regulations gov-erning international nongovernmental organizations.

As of June 30, 2010 there are 2 Rotary clubs with 135 mem-bers in China. (rotary.org)

Lions

Lions service in China began in 1997 with the SightFirst pro-gram, its blindness prevention program aimed at reversing preventable blindness.

In 2002, Lions Clubs International was officially recognized by the Chinese government when it allowed two pilot Lions clubs in Shenzhen and Guangdong. Today, there are 1,655 mem-bers in 79 Lions clubs in China, in addition to 1,429 Lions in 62 clubs in Hong Kong and Macau.

Lions Clubs International reports having worldwide member-ship of 1.35 million in over 45,000 clubs. (lionsclubs.org)

Kiwanis

Kiwanis has been providing humanitarian service in China through partnerships with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

One on-going partnership involves eradication of iodine defi-ciency in China.

A new partnership aims to eradicate tetanus in women and

children worldwide. (kiwanis.org)

about the fight to eradicate polio

Klinginsmith sits down with Forbes.com to talk about

the impact Rotary and the Bill & Melinda Gates

Foundation have made toward eradicating polio.

White Elephant Because albino elephants are so rare, custom at the court

of the King of Siam used to decree that they be given noth-

ing but the best by their owners. So whenever a courtier

angered him badly, the King used to announce that he

was planning, as a mark of his special regard, to present

the man with one of his own royal white elephants. The

courtier then had to choose between insulting the King by

refusing the gift or being ruined by the expense of keeping

it. Mostly, the luckless courtiers decamped in a hurry - as

the King had hoped. The phrase was brought into the Eng-

lish language by travellers to Siam who had witnessed

the court custom. It now means any useless and burden-

some gift.

About 850 kids from poor families in Barangay Holy Spirit trooped to the covered

court of Don Antonio Heights last December 4 for the annual gift-giving program of

RCHS and Interact of Holy Spirit in partnership with the Barangay Council and the

Xyrryl Mae Opinaldo presented an entertaining dance number and a puppet show,

and led the kids in song & games. CP Nides also treated the kids to a fun name-

that-tune contest with his harmonica. The winners were given harmonicas. Imme-

diately after the gift-giving, the children were served tasty arroz caldo provided by

Mrs Carmen Tan of Save More Drug. Barangay volunteers led by Suzy Suarez

helped maintain order to the crowd of anxious kids. All in all, the children as well

as RCHS and Interact members and barangay volunteers had a great time!

Rotary History

For more information about ROTARY, please visit:

The changes, which include endorsing the concept of flexible attendance and meeting requirements, are designed to keep Rotary vibrant and attractive to current members and pro-spective members from younger generations.

"By focusing on strategic issues throughout the week, the Board was able to reach consensus on several strategic deci-sions, which constitute progressive moves by the RI Board," says RI President Ray Klinginsmith.

Among other actions, the Board at its Nov 2010 meeting

Agreed to the concept of amending RI policy on meeting attendance, meeting options, and member termination in order to support and strengthen clubs by allowing them more flexibility. The changes will require revisions to the RI Constitution and the Standard Rotary Club Constitu-tion in the form of legislation submitted to the 2013 Council on Legislation.

Agreed to conduct four new pilot programs -- associate member, corporate member, satellite clubs, and innova-tive and flexible Rotary clubs -- to promote membership diversity and improve recruitment, beginning 1 July. Two hundred clubs will be accepted for each three-year pilot.

Encouraged districts with more than 100 clubs and over 4,000 members to split into two or three new districts as early as 1 July 2012.

"Rotary must change its culture from one of attendance to one of engagement," says RI Director Stuart B. Heal, chair of the Strategic Planning Committee. "It is our belief that in the next decade this must become our culture as we become more innovative and continue serving around the world."

RI Board adopts shift in paradigms

to position Rotary for growth in new era

DOVE Editors’ take on the paradigm shifts Welcome! The decisions of the 2010-11 RI

Board should help improve Rotary membership

level that has remained virtually flat since 1995.

The Share-a-Toy project of RCHS last Dec 4, 2010 was a success, thanks to the support of RCHS members and friends including the following ladies and gentlemen who provided toys and goodies:

Thanks to Mrs Carmen Tan of Save More Drug for providing two (2) vats of arroz caldo for the kids.

Also, thanks to Romy Teraytay of Starship Security Agency who sent 250 pcs of doypack juice, and to Rtns Baby Lorenzo and Lowell Custodio who provided purified drinking water for everybody.

Thanks to DAHHA for the use of the covered court and for sending security guards to control the gate. Thanks to Suzy Suarez and staff as well as BSDOs of the Barangay for ensuring peace and order throughout the duration of program.

Most of all, the event would not have been that successful and fun were it not for our Interactors led by President Xyrryl Mae Opinaldo who exerted commendable effort to prepare & lead the program.

Year-end Message from the President Diogenes S. Osabel

Gift-giving at Christmas has become a growing challenge for many due to the expense, time and

physical demands that it entails.

Families and clans increase in numbers, and so do one’s colleagues in work, avocations and

social networks.

Gifts are given and exchanged in endless parties and merry-making that keep many fathers and mothers and

family members away from home late and even till the next morning.

Christmas drives businesses to their peaks. Talipapas and bazaars mushroom, and gift hunters swoop down on

Divisoria and the malls for unique and cheap finds. In the buying frenzy, many have commented that Christmas

has been commercialized and stripped of its real meaning.

During our 3rd Share-a-Toy last Dec. 4, our young Interactors injected a new spirit in the celebration with their

songs and dances that gave joy to more than 800 kids.

More than gifts and toys, we need to remind ourselves of the reason for the season – the birth of our Savior Je-

sus. Christmas is about the Nativity, not really about activity.

We need to simplify our celebrations. Let our Christmas be the time to thank God for his most valuable gift to us

– Jesus, his only begotten Son, our Redeemer and Savior.

************

May I take this opportunity to thank our couple Rotarians Ric & Marcia Salvador, who not only diligently publish

The Dove and handle our finances and prepare our meetings, but also represent our Club in many other activi-

ties; our two doctors, PP Roger Belleza, Eui Bong Jung, and Dentist Marylene Martinez for their unwavering en-

thusiasm in medical missions; IPP and AG Linda Palattao for keeping us updated with District events; and PE

Ped Condeno, PP Nides Respicio, JR Delgra, Peth Rivera, and Thelma Marcelo for their regular attendance; and

to all our members for their important contributions in keeping the Club alive. While we understand the difficult

situation of some, we hope the New Year would augur well for all members of the Club to be involved in our

Club’s projects.

Finally, we extend our best wishes to our supporters, led by PDG Danny Fausto, AG Rencie Padernal, District

Membership Chair PP Francis Rivera, PP Winston Sia, AGR Butch Madarang, DG Ambo Gancayco and other Dis-

trict officers who are too many to mention here, our barangay partners, and all our patrons, sponsors and do-

nors who have helped carry out the Club’s community service projects. Maraming salamat po.

May our merciful and loving Father continue to reward us with his blessings of peace and joy, and by His grace

sustain our partnerships for and with our underprivileged brothers and sisters.

In yet another Christmas program

with gift-giving and food-

distribution activity last December

23, Rotarians IPP Linda Palattao,

Dr Bong and JR Delgra joined prin-

cipal sponsors Dr Luz Corpuz and

the Palattao family in cheering up

poor families and their children in

July 2010, performing nine concerts that raised about $20,000.

"In addition to raising money for polio eradication, this tour was the first time that the band has performed internationally," says band leader Mitch Biba, who plays trumpet and flugelhorn and is a mem-ber of the Rotary Club of Wisconsin Rapids. Trustee chair's message

Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar, Foundation Trustee Chair, reminds Rotarians that January is Rotary Awareness Month. Awareness is an important part of The Rotary Foundation’s work. It is important that members are aware of The Rotary Foundation Goals 2010-11: polio eradication; the Future Vision Plan; Every Rotarian, Every

Year; and the Permanent Fund.

RI President’s Message January 2011

Test time !

We are at the halfway point in this Ro-

tary year, and now is the time to test the

strengths and weaknesses of our clubs.

Perhaps a strange idea for some Rotarians, but how

else will we learn how the activities and programs of

our respective clubs match up to those of other clubs

in our districts – and around the world? Therefore, I

encourage all Rotarians – not only the club officers –

to become involved in evaluating their clubs during

the month of January.

The Presidential Citation program for 2010-11 has

been designed as a score sheet for all the Avenues of

Service. It also is a checklist for many of the activities

and programs conducted by most clubs. Club presi-

dents are required to complete the score sheets and

submit them to their district governors by 31 March

2011 for their clubs to be eligible for the Presidential

Citation awards. The scores should be shared with all

club members either as written reports or as presen-

tations at club meetings.

Starting work on the Presidential Citation test in Janu-

ary will provide an opportunity to correct any discov-

ered deficiencies in club activities before the submis-

sion deadline of 31 March. It also will cause the club

leaders to notice that a new Presidential Citation with

Distinction award is available this year for clubs with a

good balance of activities in all Avenues of Service.

This year I am recommending that all clubs review

their practices and procedures to see if they are truly

best practices or merely traditional practices. Annual

evaluations of our clubs are certainly best practices,

and more Rotarians than usual need to be involved in

the evaluations for their clubs. The Presidential Cita-

tion score sheets are a good place to start the proc-

ess. How else will we know if our clubs really are be-

coming Bigger, Better, and Bolder?

RC Holy Spirit and Rotaract Club plant trees to ar-rest serious soil erosion in Antipolo City

Last Saturday, January

15, was both a fulfilling

and fun-filled day for

RCHS and its newly-

organized partner, the

Rotaract Club of Holy

Spirit. With some 50

seedlings of fire tree,

caballero, guijo, and

other species with them,

the two groups pro-

ceeded to Barangay

Calawis at the foothills

of the Sierra Madre

Mountain range in Anti-

polo to plant trees in an area that has been experiencing soil erosion. It was

the first service activity of the Rotaractors led by President James Lorenzo.

RCHS is committed to fight global warming by planting more trees. In the

near future, as Pres Dodgie says, ―with District support, we hope to start re-

foresting the badly eroded mountains of the Marikina watershed.‖

After finishing tree-planting, the group was guided through an exciting river-

trekking exercise by Pres Dodgie, and then treated to a sumptuous lunch of

pinakbet, inihaw na bangus and tilapia, and chicken adobo.

New pilot programs support member

diversity By Arnold R. Grahl Rotary International News -- 10 January 2011

The three-year pilots -- satellite club, associate member, corporate member, and innovative and flexible Rotary club -- will allow partici-pating Rotary clubs to experiment with flexible membership require-ments and club operations beginning 1 July. Each one is designed to improve recruitment and retention, allow for flexibility in club operations and structures, and provide Rotary clubs with an opportunity to explore new and innovative ways to promote member diversity -- all goals of the RI Strategic Plan. Other potential benefits include improved leadership, engagement, and participation among members and increased support of The Rotary Foundation.

Clubs have until 1 April to submit applications to Rotary International to be considered for a pilot. Read more about the 2011-14 pilots, and download related fact sheets and anapplication. Information and appli-cations are also being sent to each club this month. Up to 200 clubs

will be selected for each pilot.

Satellite Club The Satellite Club Pilot Program will assess the impact of allowing a Rotary club to conduct multiple club meetings during a week, each taking place at a different location, on a different day, or at a different time. Rotarians in the satellite club would belong to a host club but would meet at their own time and location and could have their own projects. This structure may be helpful in areas with many rural com-munities as well as in large metropolitan areas. Associate Member The Associate Member Pilot Program gives clubs a tool for teaching prospective members about the club and the expectations of member-ship before they join. Clubs would determine the length of time a per-son could remain an associate member before becoming an active member. Corporate Member The Corporate Member Pilot Program will allow a corporation or com-pany in a club's area to become a member of the Rotary club and appoint up to four people to serve as club members. These corporate members will attend club meetings, participate in projects, and vote on club matters, and are eligible to serve as club officers and commit-tee members. Only one of the designees would need to attend club meetings at a time, yet each would be considered an official member of the club and would be required to pay RI and annual club dues, as determined by the club. Innovative and Flexible Rotary Club Under the Innovative and Flexible Rotary Club Pilot Program, clubs will be allowed to change one element of its format or structure as an experiment. For example, a club might conduct a blend of online and in-person meetings. The pilot is focused on encouraging Rotary clubs to be fun, dynamic, diverse, resilient, tolerant, interested in trying new things.

Latest Weekly News Update from RI

For more information about ROTARY, pls visit:

Rotary names its new top

executive

Rotary International News -- 12 January 2011

Rotary International has named John Hewko, an at-torney with extensive international experience in both the private and public sectors, to be the global humanitarian service organization’s new top executive, serving as its general secretary.

In this position, Hewko will manage more than 600 employees of Rotary International and its charitable arm, The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. Headquartered in Evanston, Illinois, USA, with regional offices in seven countries, Rotary’s Secretariat supports the activities of more than 33,000 Rotary clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas, with a combined membership of 1.2 million men and women. The Rotary Foundation annually distributes over $180 million to fund a variety of educational programs and humanitarian projects throughout the world.

Hewko is a former partner with the international law firm of Baker & McKenzie and was vice president at the Millennium Challenge Cor-poration, a U.S. government agency established in 2004 to deliver U.S. foreign assistance to the world’s poorest countries. He begins work on 1 July at a key moment in Rotary’s 106-year history. Hewko will play a lead role in the implementation of the organization’s newly revised strategic plan that envisions Rotary’s expanded engagement in areas such as maternal and child health, water and sanitation, disease prevention and treatment, basic education and literacy, eco-nomic and community development, and peace studies and conflict prevention/resolution. His tenure could also see the successful con-clusion of Rotary’s principal humanitarian initiative: its 25-year cam-paign to eradicate the crippling disease polio, a goal that is more than 99 percent complete.

Hewko also will interact with government and business leaders to enhance Rotary’s global visibility and forge new strategic partner-ships worldwide to achieve common objectives and maximize the use of resources. He also will work to expand and strengthen Ro-tary’s current relationship with organizations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Health Organization, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and others.

In announcing Hewko’s hiring, Rotary International President Ray Klinginsmith hailed his “visionary leadership” and predicted that un-der Hewko’s leadership Rotary will “continue to grow in numbers, stature, and involvement in making the world a better place.” “Rotary is fortunate to have attracted a candidate with John Hewko’s proven ability and extensive international experience,” Klinginsmith said. “His leadership will be an important asset for Rotary in the next few years.”

Hewko is a 1985 graduate of Harvard Law School, and holds a mas-ter’s degree from Oxford University (where he studied as a Marshall Scholar) and a bachelor’s degree from Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. He speaks six languages.

Hewko replaces Edwin Futa, who is retiring after 10 years as general secretary.

Take a 6-minute tour of the famous city of

New Orleans with RI Pres Klinginsmith himself as your expert guide. Watch him

promote this year’s Rotary Interna-

tional Convention.

Interact and Rotaract Clubs of Holy Spirit join hands to help protect community from fatal rabies

Barangay Holy Spirit held its

first mass anti-rabies vaccina-

tion for dogs on January 22, a

project spearheaded by RCHS

in partnership with the baran-

gay council, Don Antonio

Heights Homeowners Asso-

ciation, and the Bureau of

Animal Industry. A total of

1,023 dogs were given free

anti-rabies shots by 10 veteri-

narians from the BAI and the Quezon City government. Vaccination was

done in (5) satellite stations within the barangay. At the forefront handling

the registration of dogs and their owners and distribution of vaccination

cards and dog tags were members of our Rotaract and Interact Clubs. Rota-

ract President James Lorenzo busily shuttled between satellite stations en-

suring the availability of vaccines for the dogs and food & water rations for

the volunteers. Interact President Xyrryl Mae Opinaldo and her team bravely

held the fort at the Gilarmi basketball court where the most number of dogs

(414) were brought. PE Ped Condeno, Sec JR Delgra and Rotarians Dr Bong,

Baby Lorenzo and Lowell Custodio were on hand to guide our young volun-

teers. Congratulations to Rotaract and Interact for a very commendable job!

What Anti-Rabies Vaccination is All About

Rabies is a Latin word that means, "madness, rage, fury".

Rabies causes acute inflammation of the brain. In non-vaccinated humans, rabies is almost invariably fatal after symptoms have developed, although prompt post-exposure vaccination may prevent the virus from

progressing

Rabies can be prevented by vaccination. It can also be prevented by avoiding to be bitten by a mad dog or

by an infected person.

The Anti-Rabies Act of 2007 (Republic Act 9482) requires pet owners to have their dog regularly vacci-nated, to report within 24 hours any dog biting incident, to assist the dog bite victim immediately, and to shoulder the medical expenses of the victim. The law imposes fines and imprisonment for certain acts of irresponsible pet ownership including refusal to have the dog vaccinated.

Thus, anti-rabies vaccination does not only make sense; it’s required by law.

Editors’ note on the proposed Reproductive Health Bill

Rotarians are urged to form their own understanding of the benefits and

concerns raised by the contending parties, through a review of:

Full text of the proposed HB 5043

A discussion of issues involved in the great debate

A rousing mid-year District

convention

The officers and members of the Rotary Club of South

Triangle drew a rousing applause from grateful Rotari-

ans who enjoyed every moment of the Mid-Year Con-

vention cum fellowship in the paradise island of Bora-

cay last January 21 to 23, 2011. The food was excel-

lent and abundant and the drinks overflowed, courtesy

of generous and blessed member-donors and spon-

sors.

IPP Linda and I listened and learned from the sharing

of experiences with other Rotarians. Reflecting on our

own Club’s accomplishments, I am convinced that if

we could only GIVE even just a little more of our time,

talent, and treasure, our Club could attain its vision of

becoming a model community-based club with a global

perspective in the next two or three years.

Our Governor Ambo and officers reported on the state

of the district in mid-term, and the work that still needs

to be done to realize our targets. We then joined work-

shops to discuss our individual club assignments: (1)

membership concerns (retention and recruitment), and

(2) Paul Harris Fellowship commitments (collecting

payments on time).

Congressman Edcel Lagman talked on the Reproduc-

tive Health (RH) Bill. Without its ―comprehensive‖

motherhood principles, the Bill really focuses on con-

traception (preventing conception through safe sex).

Now, why should not TRUE Catholics strongly oppose

it? The RH Bill also presumed or glossed over other

basic issues (e.g., access to medical services, safety,

etc.) In its current form, I believe the RH Bill when en-

acted into law will only usher in more serious health,

socio-cultural and political problems.

Finally, Congressman Florencio Miraflores spoke about

government’s efforts in regulating and promoting tour-

ism development in the island without compromising

the environment. Let us pray that such efforts to pre-

serve the pristine white sands, clear waters, and clean

air of Boracay succeed.

The MidCon and Boracay’s fun and laughter and the

friendships that it nourished will linger for a lifetime.

God bless Rotary!

Comments from Rotarians about the

news article, “A new approach to Rotary” Rotary International News -- 24 January 2011

Comments selected by The Dove editors:

At 10:01AM on 24 January 2011, Judi Beard-Strubing wrote: A couple of observations to share: --One of the first words used by RIPE Kalyan was CHANGE! --Katie received a standing ovation and great cheers from the DGEs at the conclusion of her inspiring speech. Rotary is 105 years old, but that doesn't mean we have to act like it! Hooray for Katie and the Assembly committee! I wish you all could have heard her in person. At 9:04AM on 21 January 2011, Clive Amos wrote: As a 65 year old Rotarian with nearly 34 years membership, I am delighted to read what Katie Ischkin has had to say. Rotary can only continue its great humanitarian service if we attract young members, We have, so far, failed miserably to do this. Having been preaching the need to change for so long, I am now convinced that the likelihood of the older clubs changing so as to attract the younger members is virtually nil. We need new clubs of younger people to be able to take over from the existing clubs, who, often after many years of praiseworthy service, will inevitably fade away. At 2:48PM on 20 January 2011, Juhani Rouhesmaa wrote: As a senior Ro-tarian I am very pleased to see a clear change in attitude and flexibility in procedures. This article shows that Rotary has finally opened eyes for seeing what the expectations of young generations are. It is time to allow flexibility in meeting times, meeting frequency, meeting place, etc.. We cannot afford waiting three years until the next COL for making sensible changes in Rotary procedures. "Rotary must change its culture from one of attendance to one of engagement," says RI Director Stuart B. Heal, chair of the Strategic Planning Committee. I fully agree. The report of Katie Ischkin proves that the change of attitude has brought nice results very quickly. Juhani Rouhesmaa, PDG Dis-trict 1390 At 12:07PM on 20 January 2011, Pres. Edsel Dominado, RC Cabanatuan City, D3770, Philippines wrote: Wow, this is amazingly great article. I am not below 30 like Ms. Katie, but what I have is a very young at heart! In my Club, we have organized a Rotaract Club and Interact Club both Youth. (This is really a new generation) Well, change? yes we did it . . . In a month we have weeks, On the First Week - We have a Rotary Meeting (this is our very impor-tant meeting) 2nd Week - We have "Ladies Night" (This is open to all, that includes our Anns or our Inner Wheel members) and the 3rd Week - is an-other Rotary Meeting (another Regular Meeting) and the last Week - is our "Monthly Socials" (this is purely for Socials, sometimes we have Speakers, and this where we take time to Honor our Birthday and Wedding Celebrators, attire Formal, Gentlemen - Suite and Ladies - Gowns) well, Thanks! - Pres. Edsel Dominado, RC Cabanatuan City, D3770, Philippines; www.facebook.com/rotary.cabanatuan and www.facebook.com/edsel.dominado At 11:56AM on 20 January 2011, Emily Francona wrote: I have repeatedly urged our club leadership to take a new look at meeting times and places. Unfortunately our "mature" club has yet to give this and other non-traditional approaches serious consideration, despite significant and steady decline in membership. Several of our younger members are having difficulties main-taining their membership responsibilities because of those factors described by Ischkin. This article is a timely resource for clubs and a suitable topic for club assemblies - thank you.



District 3780




Paradigms in Rotary start to shift at the local club level

Katie Ischkin, president and founder of the Rotary Club of South Metro Minneapolis Evenings, Minne-sota, USA, believes in a new approach to Rotary.

Her Rotary club, chartered in June, has already grown to 25 mem-bers, including 12 new Rotarians who were recruited in a three-month period. The club has signed up for its first Matching Grant and international service project and has participated in more than 10 community service or hands-on volunteer efforts.

Ischkin shared her ideas on how to attract young professionals to Rotary during the International Assembly, an annual training event in San Diego, California. As a "proud, young, female Rotarian," she is among only 2 percent of club members worldwide under the age of 30, and only 11 percent under 40.

"We need to focus on generating interest in young people for the future success of Rotary," she said. "We are faced today with the need to grow not just for the sake of numbers but to create strong, young, global leaders who are going to help continue the success of the Rotary organization."

Ischkin advocates a new outlook on membership and a different approach to club structure. As a change management consultant, she said she understands people's fear of change. But she stressed that her approach doesn't mean altering the core pieces of the or-ganization or losing what Rotarians hold dear.

"What does change are what I call surface-level elements," she said. "The pieces that individual clubs have the power to shift and redes-ign, such as meeting times and locations, program structures, club member involvement, and committee formats."

Ischkin's club meets in the evening and lowers costs by not having meals. And it doesn't hold a traditional meeting every week: The third meeting of the month is a happy hour/networking event at different locations in the city, and the fourth meeting is a hands-on volunteer-ing opportunity.

Ischkin added that it's important to understand the mindset of the new generation and manage expectations accordingly. Younger people are "always on the go and truly connected," she explained, whether it’s through social networking, text messaging, or other means. They face a lot of pressure to be involved in multiple endeav-ors and to balance work and personal life. As a result, they may be "on call" with their careers, but they are no less dedicated to service.

"When you’re trying to recruit younger members or even sponsor and start a New Generations Rotary club, take time with your club and committee to outline what your expectations are and whether they will align with the younger generation you are trying to attract and work with," she said. "Not every Rotary club can quickly shift gears to attract younger members; it takes time and baby steps."

But for many clubs, she said, "all it takes is opening up your minds and starting to think differently about the future of your club's mem-bership."

Updates on service projects are shared during Jan 26th club meeting



Interact Club of Holy Spirit President-elect Harold Kim Maggay and Secretary Gretchen Berguera

attended the RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) Training at the Phillip’s Sanctuary in Anti-

polo City last January 28-30, 2011. It was hosted by RC Paraiso QC and was the 23rd training

seminar for the youth. Aside from meeting new friends from different Interact clubs, our Interac-

tors were given valuable insights on how to be better persons and leaders and in organizing ef-

fective service projects. On the 2nd day, the participants planted trees as a sign of their commit-

ment to care for the environment.

Harold and Gretchen found unforgettable ―The Amazing RYLA Race‖. They thoroughly enjoyed

activities like military training, mud scrawl, spider web climbing, mudslide and the zip line.

Before the youngsters departed the camp site, Global President Carmen Chua’s parting words

were: ―The ones that don’t have the new generation programs are missing a part of the great

adventure of Rotary.‖

To Harold and Gretchen, ―this great experience will linger for a lifetime‖ and they intend to im-

part whatever they learned during the seminar to other young people.

(The feedback report on the RYLA training activity was provided to The Dove by Interact Presi-

dent Xyrryl. Pres Xyrryl herself was unable to attend the training as she had been scheduled to

take the college entrance exams at PUP on Jan 30.)

Rotaract and Interact Clubs of Holy Spirit will have a delayed celebration of Araw ng Kabataan

because of a conflict of schedules. They will hold it on February 19 instead of February 5, 2011

when most other youth clubs in District 3780 will celebrate the occasion at the Amoranto Sta-

dium in Quezon City.

On Feb 5, the Interactors will have their school field trip while on Feb 12, both Rotaractors and

Interactors will participate as volunteers in the large-scale Medical/Dental Mission where RCHS

is one of the cooperating partners. On Feb 12 also, the top officers of Interact clubs in the Dis-

trict have been asked to attend the Discon and make a presentation of their plans and projects.

The following activities have been lined up for the February 19 whole-day Araw ng Kabataan

celebration:

Feeding program for 1000 young children

Garage sale (fund-raising activity)

Movie marathon

Rotaract and Interact members have approached and received favorable response from QC

Councilors Aly Medalla and Candy Medina for the supply of arroz caldo for the feeding program

scheduled in the morning. For the garage sale, our young allies are soliciting the help of Rotari-

ans and friends in providing used clothes, white elephants or anything that can be sold by them

for their fund-raising campaign.

Let’s all help our Rotaractors and Interactors in their project initiatives!

International Assembly inspires Rotary leaders to embrace humanity

The next class of Rotary district governors emerged from the 2011 International Assembly in San Diego, California, USA, with new ideas, skills, and friendships that will help them lead during the 2011-12 year. RI President-elect Kalyan Banerjee began the week by inspiring the 530 governors-elect to Reach Within to Embrace Humanity .

"In order to achieve anything in this world, a person has to use all the resources he can draw on. And the only place to start is with ourselves and within ourselves," he said. Read more.

Later in the week, Banerjee announced plans for the 2011-12 Changemaker Award, which will rec-ognize Rotary clubs that make an extraordinary impact through their work in the Avenues of Ser-vice. Read more.

Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar shared early success stories of the Foundation's Future Vision Plan. A three-year pilot began on 1 July with 100 districts. All districts will start using the plan’s new grant model on 1 July 2013. Read more.

In his address to the governors-elect, RI Director John C. Smarge spotlighted one of Rotary’s great-est challenges: “Since 2003, we have added 2,552 Rotary clubs yet only increased our overall mem-bership by 226 members.”

Smarge encouraged Rotary leaders to strengthen clubs by branding Rotary as the organization of

choice for business, professional, and community leaders throughout the world.

Health & wellness projects of RC Holy Spirit and partners con-

tinue to touch lives of increasing number of poor patients

RCHS again demonstrated its commitment to help build healthy communities. Last Feb 2 in Old Balara Church, and Feb 3-4, 2011 in Hal-con Mountain, Mindoro, a total of 948 patients who were mostly 'Mangyans' were given free medical services. Of these 39 were surgical patients of herniolomy (having tumor including breast tumor).

Rotarians Mr. David In Il Kim and Dr Bong ar-ranged for the services of Dr. Lee Jin Yong (PHD) and Dr. Kwon Moon Kwang (PHD) who are expert surgeons and specialists of emergency medicine at Mother's Breast Cen-ter in Pusan, Korea. Rev. Kim In Hyo, Mr. David Kim's brother also cooperated in the project.

A patient of herniolomy who has been severely suffering for almost a year because of lack of P250,000 for surgery, was finally operated on. His family was very thankful and revived after a three-hour free surgical operation.(photo - surgi-cal patient at Old Balara)

RI President’s Message February 2011

Rotary DNA !

This Rotary year features a culture of

innovation in which we are looking at

all aspects of our policies, practices, and procedures

to see if they can be modernized and improved. Not

surprisingly for an old and large organization like ours,

we are identifying many areas that could, and should,

be brought up to date.

But at the same time, I fully recognize that some

things are so significant in Rotary’s success that they

are sacrosanct. They are referred to in the RI Strate-

gic Plan as our core values, but I prefer to call them

our DNA. They are the characteristics that distinguish

Rotary from all other organizations. They are the es-

sence of who Rotarians are and what Rotarians have

in common around the world.

The five core values named in the RI Strategic Plan

are fellowship, service, integrity, diversity, and leader-

ship. Young people prefer the word networking to our

traditional word of fellowship, but to me they are

equivalent. Both words lead to lasting friendships in

our clubs, which keep us together between projects

and which make Rotary membership truly priceless.

Friendship is clearly the most essential element of

Rotary’s DNA!

Rotarians should not worry that the current emphasis

on modernization will damage our core values. That

would be alien to Cowboy Logic, which includes the

admonitions ―Remember that some things are not for

sale‖ and ―Know where to draw the line.‖ I want to

assure Rotarians that we will not alter the values and

attitudes that have made Rotary a premier organiza-

tion – one that is now on the world stage through Po-

lioPlus!

We have so much to be proud of as Rotarians. This is

our finest hour, and our best days are still ahead as

we help our clubs to be Bigger, Better, and Bolder.

Along with our five core values, persistent progress is

another prestigious part of Rotary’s DNA!

hold a polio immunization drive at Barangay Ta-

talon. Let us support this service project by vol-

send a family member in your stead – also a

good way of exposing them to current social re-

Invocations at Club Meetings In many Rotary clubs, it is customary to open weekly meetings with an appropriate invocation or blessing. Usually such invo-cations are offered without reference to specific religious de-nominations or faiths. Rotary policy recognizes that throughout the world Rotarians represent many religious beliefs, ideas, and creeds. The reli-gious beliefs of each member are fully respected, and nothing in Rotary is intended to prevent each individual from being faithful to such convictions. At international assemblies and conventions, it is traditional for a silent invocation to be given. In respect for all religious be-liefs and in the spirit of tolerance for a wide variety of personal faiths, all persons are invited to seek divine guidance and peace in their own way. It is an inspiring experience to join with thousands of Rotarians in an international “silent prayer” or act of personal devotion. Usually all Rotary International Board and committee meetings begin with a few moments of silent meditation. In this period of silence, Rotary demon-strates respect for the beliefs of all members, who represent the religions of the world.

ABCs of Rotary—Past RI President Cliff Dechterman

The month of February is designated World Understanding Month on the Rotary calendar. The month also includes the anniversary of the first meeting of Rotary held on 23 February

1905, now called World Understanding and Peace Day.

RC Holy Spirit and partners bring free healthcare services to

1,600 members of the local community

The “Gamot Para sa Kapwa” medical/dental/diagnostic mis-sion held at the Don Antonio Heights covered court and eld-erly center last February 12, 2011 drew a large crowd mostly from depressed areas within Barangay Holy Spirit. The health mission was a partnership project of RCHS with the SM Foundation as principal sponsor, the Don Antonio Heights Homeowners Association (DAHHA), Greater Don Antonio Heights Senior Citizens Association, and the St Benedict’s Parish Pastoral Council (SBPPC).

PP Dr Roger Belleza, Chair of RCHS Health & Wellness, spearheaded this project. He organized some 25 medical practitioners who provided free consultation services to 979 patients. Dr Roger stood as exemplar of Rotary’s international motto “Service Above Self”. This day, although still tired from a medical mission the previous day, Dr Roger stayed on until the last patient had been served.

RCHS Rotarians Dr Marlene Martinez and Dr Jong Myeong Kim and a volunteer SMF dentist pro-vided tooth extraction and related services. PE Dr Terry Amado and IPP Dr Tessie Estrellado of our sister club, RC Marikina North of District 3800, came to share their time and expertise as well. Rtn Peth Rivera assisted the dentists while Rotaractor Kevin Laragan and SBPPC volunteers served as dental aides. A total of 254 dental patients were served.

Rtn Dr Myeong brought three portable dental chairs and a complete array of dental tools and imple-ments. It was an inspiring sight to see Dr Myeong, a Korean like Rtns Dr Bong and David Kim, pro-viding free dental service to many patients, assisted by his wife and young relatives.

Rtn Dr Eui Bong Jung administered acupuncture to 20 patients, some of whom were initially scared to be needle-pricked, but the handsome, gentle acupuncturist put his patients at ease in no time.

The Quezon City Red Cross, at the instance of Sec JR Delgra, sent a stand-by ambulance with 5 paramedics in case of any emergency. QCRC also sent 5 nurses for taking vital signs and meas-urements.

SMF provided all the medicines, medical supplies & equipment, mobile x-ray and ECG van. The diagnostic services served many patients: ECG- 84, x-ray- 155, RBS/FBS- 102, urinalysis- 47, cho-lesterol test- 21. A lecture on nutrition was also given to senior citizens at the elderly center.

DAHHA provided venue, tables & chairs and utility services. Breakfast, snacks and lunch were served by DAHHA to about 150 volunteers and organizers, from donations solicited by Dr Roger.

PP Roger, Pres Dodgie and Treas Marcia (who supervised the deployment of Rotaractors and Inter-actors) had coordinated with partner-groups for this mission over the past few months. IPP Linda Palattao, Peth Rivera, David Kim and the others helped ensure success of the event on Feb 12th.

For Rotarians joining the Convention in New Orleans -

Once again, members of the Rotaract and Interact

Clubs of Holy Spirit demonstrated commendable

performance in providing assistance to patients

and medical professionals during the recently-

concluded medical/dental/diagnostic mission.

They competently manned the registration desks

for medical and dental patients as well as for the

ECG and x-ray cases. Rotaract President James

Lorenzo and his team effectively managed the

queue of medical and dental patients waiting for

their turn, pacifying the sometimes unruly, rude

and impatient ones.

Congratulations to our young partners-in-service

for another job well done!

Xyrryl Mae Opinaldo President Interact Club of Holy Spirit

Our campus-mate mentoring project started last

January 22, 2011. We spend our time every Satur-

day afternoon, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM, mentoring

learners in school. Two to four Interactors handle

each learning module.

The learners or campus-mates consist of 20 to 25

students from the lower grades and sections in

school, and some adults who are interested to get

more knowledge and pass an accreditation test.

Now, we have already taught them 6 modules. We

still have 4 remaining modules to cover and we

aim to finish the program by the end of this month.

The modules we have been using were provided by

Alternative Learning Institute QC headed by RCHS

Rotarian JR Delgra. The topics include basic learn-

ing areas like, technologies, science and health,

mathematics, social studies, and agriculture. Sir JR

Delgra has been our adviser in this project.

Every Saturday, we see the improvements in our

campus-mates and in their desire to learn more

and be educated. And I learned that a man who

cannot speak English could have very good ideas

in his mind. In this matter, we help to increase

their literacy.

For me and the other Interactors, the goal is to

learn, to see, to know, and to understand.

I can say that, money can be lost or stolen, health

and strength may fail, but what you have commit-

ted to your mind is yours forever. =))

Interact President provides update

on campus mentoring program

In behalf of the Rotaract and Interact Clubs of Holy Spirit, our young partners in community service, I would like to sincerely thank the follow-ing Rotarians and friends who donated assorted items that enabled our youth to hold a garage sale last February 19 as part of their “Araw ng Kabataan” celebration:

PDG Danny & Ann Peia Fausto Pres Dodgie Osabel IPP Linda Palattao Rtn Peth Rivera Rtn Dr Marlene Martinez Mrs Isabel Kim/KIMBEL International Mrs Gloria Demetillo Mrs Aurora Zuniga Dr Georgina Duque Ms Lilian Capinpin Mrs Yvonne Mesina

Proceeds of the above-mentioned fund-raising activity of the Rotaractors and Interactors will be used in implementing their planned service pro-jects for the community.

Message of Thanks from Marcia C Salvador

Literacy projects take many forms, from equip-

ping classrooms & libraries to donating books

and conducting mentoring programs such as

what the Interact Club of Holy Spirit has em-

barked on.

RCHS will continue to be involved in literacy-

building by donating books, teaching materials

and possibly computer units to needy schools.

RC Holy Spirit, with DAHHA host, will sponsor on April

9, 2011 a Medical Mission using Oriental Alternative

Medicine, specifically Acupuncture. Dr Eui Bong Jung

of RC Holy Spirit has invited four other oriental medi-

cal doctors specializing in acupuncture.

There will also be traditional (western) medical doc-

tors available for consultations during the mission.

We invite all to avail of this unique health mission.

Tell your friends and register with Joan at the DAHHA

office (952-2715 or 951-2661).

What and Why ?

RC Holy Spirit will be applying to participate in one of

the four pilot programs approved by the Rotary Inter-

national Board last November: the Associate Member-

ship Pilot Program.

The 3-year pilot programs—the Satellite Club, the As-

sociate Member, the Corporate Member, and the

Flexible & Innovative Rotary Club - will allow clubs to

experiment with flexible membership requirements

and club operations beginning 1 July.

The Associate Membership Pilot Program will allow an

individual to become associated and acquainted with

the Rotary Club of Holy Spirit, its members, its pro-

grams and projects, and the expectations of club

membership with the intent of later becoming an ac-

tive member within a period of time to be designated

by the RCHS Board.

An associate membership category should increase

our club’s ability to attract and retain a qualified and

diverse professional base within the community.

To evaluate the effectiveness of this pilot, participat-

ing clubs like RCHS should demonstrate results -

Increase in

Club membership recruitment and retention

Support to The Rotary Foundation (program par-

ticipation and fundraising)

Successful service projects

Participation in club activities

Improvement in

Leadership and engagement opportunities for

members

Gender balance in the club membership

Overall diversity within the club membership

Decrease in the average age of the club membership

On March 16, 2011, RC Holy Spirit

turned over two computer sets to the

Dona Juana Elementary School for

the use of Special Education (SpEd)

pupils. Presently, there are 102 SpEd

pupils in the school with various dis-

abilities: hearing impairment, mental

retardation, autism, developmental

disorder like ADHD (Attention Deficit

Hyperactivity Disorder), handled by

four dedicated teachers led by Mrs

Gloria C Tatad. According to Mrs Ta-tad, all the SPED pupils will be given

computer lessons. In particular, the

older ones (aged 18-24) will be taught

simple typing jobs to enable them to

realize their potentials for development and productivity and eventually become pro-

ductive members of society.

The two refurbished computers were acquired through the fund-raising efforts of

Treasurer Marcia and the generous support of Rotarians and friends. Later, on

March 24, Treasurer Marcia personally donated two new printers to the school for

the use of the special children so that they could better appreciate their hands-on

exercises and facilitate their learning.

RC Holy Spirit commemorates literacy month by extending more

support to public schools in its host community

Assorted reference books were turned over by

RCHS Rtn Baby Lorenzo and IPP Linda Palattao

(at right) to Principal Ms Zaida M. Padullo

(center) of the Holy Spirit National High School

last Mar 11, 2011. The turn-over was witnessed

by Interactors led by President Xyrryll and by

school officials.

The books had been solicited from friends and

associates of IPP Linda.

Thank you for uploading news bulle-

tin of the Rotary Club of Holy Spirit.

I am honored to have known people who care,

people who despite busy lives find time to reach

out to those who need it. In my heart I will al-

ways be thankful to the generosity of the Rotary

Club. Your donations to the school all these

years have gone a long way. I am proud to tell

you that the beneficiaries of the manicuring

sets are already skilled and are on their way to

discover livelihood opportunities.

You reminded me of a Chinese proverb," GIVE

LIFETIME."

Thank you Rotary Club of Holy spirit for making

a difference to our students. More power and

Message from Ms Zaida M. Padullo, Prin-cipal of Holy Spirit National High School

Being a participant in the Rotary's project BUKAS (Bayan Uunlad Kabataan Ating Subaybayan) has been

another wonderful experience for me. And I would like to thank the Rotary Club of Holy Spirit for sending me

as a participant to the said event.

It was 7:30 in the morning of March 19, 2011 when i was advised by Ma'am Marcia of RCHS to meet

the Rotarians of Cubao East at the Quezon City hall. At first i was quite nervous because I felt being

stranger to my co-participants. But I became so glad that right after we started the bus trip. I soon found

out that all of them were really friendly.

We arrived at L'Caraz resort at Nasugbu Batangas at lunch time. We took our lunch first and then started

with our first lesson. The topic was love for one’s self, and love for the family. I found our topic so interest-

ing. Our speaker was very talented. I’ve learned many new things. Before bedtime we had a bonfire and

also i took the opportunity to go swimming at the pool and at the beach during the morning.

Wheew! It was quite an unforgettable experience for me.

Interact PE Harold Maggay relates his Bukas experience

Note from the Editors:

We thank Mrs Zaida M. Padullo, Principal of the Holy

Spirit National High School, for the unsolicited message

of recognition. Earlier, we had sent recent issues of The

Dove to update Ma’am Zaida of the community service

During the March 26th panel discussion moderated by

former cabinet secretary, provincial governor and TV

host Hon. Oscar Orbos, District Governors of D3780—

past, present and future—all agreed that Rotary princi-

ples and initiatives are relevant today as ever. Drilling

down to the local level, Sec Orbos posed some thought

provoking questions to the panelists and the audience,

including this one typically asked by consultants when-

ever they re-engineer business processes: What would

be missed if your Rotary Club suddenly ceased to exist?

What would be missed by the community?

By club members?

By vocations served by Rotarians?

By the new generation or youth?

By international peace & understanding and by The

Rotary Foundation?

Oriental medical mission touches lives along the path of infa-

mous Bataan Death March as Life Marchers re-enact it

Last April 3, RCHS Rtn Dr Eui Bong Jung

and his team of Korean volunteers met up

with ―Life Marchers‖ who, in commemora-

tion of the Bataan Death March, were trac-

ing back the 110-kilometer Bataan Death

March from Camp O’Donnell in Capas, Tar-

lac to Mariveles, Bataan where the infa-

mous 1942 march started. This year’s Life

March began on March 26, 2011 and is

expected to take 9 days. Along the way, the

marchers pause to help impoverished local

areas by providing community outreaches,

including educational programs, feeding,

and medical ministries.

It was at Samal, Bataan that Dr Bong and volunteer Korean doctors attended to around 100 medical-dental patients, in-cluding 20 people who came for acupunc-ture service.

The Korean volunteers also provided free

hair-cuts to Samal residents, and rendered

a number of Korean songs while replete in

colourful traditional attire.

The Bataan Death March in 1942 resulted

in 25,000 deaths from among 75,000 US

and Filipino soldiers.

Seminar-Conference on Literacy & Alterna-

tive Learning Systems is held Last March 24, a conference on alternative learning

systems organized by the QC Alternative Learning

Institute headed by RCHS Rtn JR Delgra was con-

ducted at the Andaya Hall of the House of Represen-

tatives Complex in Quezon City.

The conference was held to increase awareness of

Barangay officials on the need to eliminate illiteracy

in the community, and of the benefits and opportu-

nities presented by the DepEd program on ALS. The

conference also sought to obtain recommendations

and commitments of Barangay officials in the na-

tional literacy campaign.

The event was likewise intended to draw more re-

source support from collaborating institutions, in-

cluding the DepEd, House of Representatives, Que-

zon City Government, Department of Interior & Local

Government, NGOs and private organizations.

Something old, something new

Most Rotarians know that for several decades, Rotary has operated with four Avenues of Service: namely Club Service, Vocational Service, Com-munity Service, and International Service. But an unusual thing happened at the 2010 Council on Legislation! The proposed enactment to add a fifth Avenue of Service was approved by the Council after being rejected at pre-vious Councils.

The new avenue is called New Generations Service, and there is some confusion and concern about the impact of the change. The proposer of the enactment did not file a statement of sup-port, and therefore, we do not have a written statement of the proposer’s rationale. However, it seems to me that the purpose and effect is to focus more attention on the Rotary programs for youth and young adults.

Rotary’s programs of Interact, RYLA, Rotaract, and Rotary Youth Exchange are some of the best in the world for young people. However, they have been divided between Community Service and International Service at the club level and district level, which has made it more difficult for them to be coordinated. The change to five Avenues of Service will provide a single director or coordinator for each club and each district to supervise and promote the Rotary programs for young people.

Our work with youth and young adults has two salutary benefits. First, the favorable influence on the participants by their expo-sure to the core values of Rotary, which are fellowship, service, integrity, diversity, and leadership. Second, the positive memory of Rotary that often causes the participants to join Rotary clubs later in their lives. We need to do a better job of recruiting the participants into Rotary membership, and we are working on plans to record the names and e-mail addresses of the partici-pants to stay in touch with them as they leave the youth and

young adult programs.

So in reality, the 2010 Council on Legislation did not create any new programs. But adding the fifth Avenue of Service will facili-tate our quest to make the youth and young adult programs even Bigger, Better, and Bolder in the future – and to recruit even more of the participants into Rotary membership. The perfect example of a win-win situation!

The importance of our maga-zines Not too long ago, the telegram was the way to communicate internationally. The telegram was replaced by the telex machine, which was followed by the facsimile. Now the Internet is the way of daily communication. Yet newspapers, books, and magazines are difficult to replace.

The Rotarian is our official magazine and a good source of information. We can read about Board decisions, upcoming events, possible changes within the administration, and pro-jects from all over the world. According to our Manual of Procedure, the purpose of the official magazine shall be to serve as a medium to assist the Board in furthering the pur-pose of RI and the Object of Rotary.

Our official magazine is surrounded by 30 regional maga-zines, from Rotary Down Under to Rotary Nordenand from El Rotario de Chile to The Rotary-No-Tomo. In addition to printing some of the same contents as our official maga-zine, these magazines bring a local touch to the reader. This is essential in light of the internationality of our organization.

The printed press is today threatened by a world getting more and more digital – a development we cannot halt. To-day we have more and more conference calls, but these can never totally take over face-to-face meetings. In the same way, it is my hope that the printed press will still remain and the digital world will be complementary to it.

There is something very special in holding a book or a magazine in the hands. May therefore the Rotary magazines never disappear into cyberspace for good – the printed word is needed today and in the future just as it has been in the past.

RI Vocational Service Update March 2011

The British newspaper the Guardian, in associa-tion with World Health Organization’s Global Health Workforce Alliance, created a useful graphic tool to compare the 57 countries identified by WHO as having the worst health care worker shortages. A shortage, which is defined as fewer than 23 health workers per 10,000 people, negatively affects all aspects of a community, but especially maternal and infant mortality. Rotary clubs and districts can help improve access to and quality of health care in the most affected countries by supporting health workers and clinics.

As compared to USA which has 125 health workers (doctors + nursing personnel) per 10,000 people, some African countries have less than 3, with So-malia having only 1.5. In Asia, Bangladesh has 6, Indonesia 9, Cambodia 10, and Myanmar 14.

Follow the link above to find out if the Philippines, which has been sending thousands of health work-ers overseas, is among those 57 countries faced with critical shortage of healthcare workers..
