Hello all!

Welcome to our meeting and thank you PE John for

running this. I am on a business trip from now until

the 29th of November, so I will leave you in the ca-

pable hands of our secretariat, PE John, PP Albert,

and our spouses’ committee.

It was another busy weeks for the district and for

our club. PP Diony began distribution of our club

barongs at the last meeting, while PP Herman and

PP Mark helped plan and organized the District’s interact youth event,

which was held on November 8th. Congratulations to you guys for a

successful event!

Meanwhile, our club participated in the Zone 6,7, and 8 PWD flagship

project, together with Jose Rizal University, our partner in service. Our

zone sent over more than 20 beneficiaries, while our club co-sponsored

the bottled water and the transportation at the event. On November

15, we are again joining a zone 8 project, the Mandaluyong Rotary

Day, which features a medical mission, dental mission, and job fair.

Jose Rizal University has again agreed to participate by sending 30 stu-

dent marshals and 29 student nurses. We are again sponsoring the wa-

ter, and they are lending some tables. Please do drop by … if anything,

we get club points for participating. More importantly, it does feel

good to get up close to a service project! Trust me on this one, and I

would love to see you there. This is followed by a district fund run and

picnic on November 16 at the Marikina Sports complex. We have ten

tickets to this, so please contact the secretariat if you are interested.

I’ve also sent out an email with the details. We also have 10 tickets for

the TRF dinner to be held at the Sofitel on November 29th.

Continuation of Pres. Corner …...

A delegation from RC Jeonju-Poongnam from Korea will be visiting us

on November 22nd. Details to follow, but please save the date! They

have been great supporters of our projects, and it would be good to

show them our hospitality. This is also the date of our fellowship night

spearheaded by the spouses committee.

Meanwhile, our DRAP Global grant project is well underway. Our kick

-off date is December 8th at the Mandaluyong City hall, with Mayor

Abalos in attendance. Do save the date. As of publication, seven Zone

8 clubs have agreed to participate. Thanks too to PP Ito Carlos and PP

Oscar for their support. PP Bert and myself on the other hand, will sup-

port our global grant for livelihood training, spearheaded by RC Wack-

Wack. More details on that to come.

Lastly, our interact club at MPNAG is requesting donations of old

clothes and the like that they can sell during their Christmas fund-

raising drive. Please coordinate with Chris at the secretariat should you

want to donate. They are requesting donations as their fund-raising

sale is tentatively scheduled for December 6th. This is also the date of

our Christmas party.

That’s all the space I have here but we do have a lot going on as we

strive to “LIGHT UP ROTARY.” Cheers!

Good day, fellow Rotarians.

On behalf of Pres. Gion, your humble treasurer will be con-

ducting our meeting today. Before I continue, please take note

of the activities below and check if you can contribute to the

success of them:

1. Zone 8 Rotary Day Venue: Mandaluyong City Hall Date: November 8, 2014

Saturday Time: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Note: Club point for 5 members to visit the

event.

2. Rotary Fun Run Date: November 9, 2014 Sunday Venue: Marikina Sports

Complex Time: 7 a.m.

3. Visit of Korean Rotarians Date: November 22, 2014 Saturday.

4. TRF Dinner Date: November 29, 2014 Saturday.

All members are encouraged to participate in the events listed above. For those who

can join us in welcoming the Korean delegates, please get details from me or our club

secretariat. Tickets for the TRF dinner will also be available upon request.

Given the numbers of activities being lined up for the coming weeks, I need to inform

our fellow members that our club fund is running low already. It seems that most of

us are really pre-occupied with our daily works, and have somehow pushed our club

statements to the other side of our desks. Starting today, your club treasurer will be

sending reminder messages through text to individual members who have yet to settle

their obligations. Please understand that your club dues are the gasoline which keep

our club engine running. Without fuel, our club will come to a standstill even though

we have tons of projects on our drawing board.

It is hoped that you could make our club statements your top priority this coming

week. Again, you can contact me anytime if you need our secretariat to pick up your

cheques from your office or residence. (0917-5222580)

One In A Million

Love had played its games on me so long

I started to believe I'd never find anyone

Doubt had tried to convince me to give in

Said you can't win

But one day the sun it came shinin' through

The rain had stopped and the skies were blue

And oh, what a revelation to see

Someone was saying "I love you" to me

A one in a million, chance of a lifetime

And life showed compassion

And sent to me a stroke of love called you

A one in a million you

I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill

Then I found a piece of happiness to call my own

And life is worth living, again

For to love you, to me, is to live

A one in a million, chance of a lifetime

And life showed compassion

And sent to me, a stroke of love, called you

A one in a million you

A one in a million, chance of a lifetime

And life, showed compassion

And sent to me a stroke of love called you

A one in a million you, a one in a million you
