President’s Corner
Updates on the club's guest speaker, the Past Presidents Council, the Music Committee and district events attended by Rotary Club of Manila officers.
Last week, Dr. Dilip Deshmukh, Founder and Chairman of the Rotary Deaf School, enlightened us with how sign language and bilingualism works in educating the deaf. Something out of the ordinary we hear from our usual speakers really adds spice to our luncheon meetings.
As for updates within our club, last November 24, 2016, our Past Presidents Council met regarding plans for the Rotary Club of Manila Centennial right after our luncheon meeting last week. Likewise, on the same day, our World Famous Music Committee had a practice at the Infinity Tower Suites of our fellow Manila Rotarian Jack Rodriguez.
Updates from around the district include the participation of DCOS/ Dir. Albert Alday in the Governor’s Visit of the Rotary Club of Manila Kalaw at Cafe Felisa of the Aloha Hotel in Manila last November 24, 2016. Thereafter, he also attended the District 3810 EXECOM Meeting at the same venue.
The next two to three days, November 26-27, 2016, IPDG Obet Pagdanganan, DGN Rudy Bediones and CoS Cesar Ubaldo were present at the Preparatory Presidents-Elect Training Seminar at the Summit Ridge Hotel in Tagaytay City.
The following day, November 28, 2016, CoS Cesar Ubaldo attended the Meeting of New Clubs at the Aloha Hotel in Manila while IPDG Obet Pagdanganan, DGN Rudy Bediones, SDG Frank Evaristo and IPP Ebot Tan attended the Past President’s Council Christmas in November at the Golden Bay Seafood Restaurant in Pasay City where our very own SDG Frank Evaristo received the Award of Distinction “in appreciation of his dedication in the pursuit of excellence in Rotary Service and Fellowship and in recognition of his untiring and continued support to Rotary for the pride and honor given to Rotary on his appointment as the Philippine Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany” from PPC Chair PP Jerry Davis.
I look forward to your cooperation as we endeavor to make our stars shine this Rotary Year 2016-2017 through meaningful projects and fellowships that will strengthen the bonds of Asia’s First Rotary Club.
