President’s Corner
President Susing Pineda thanks the organizers of the Former US Senator James Webb, Jr. meeting and invites members to the Taipei and Kowloon East anniversaries.
Dear Fellow Manila Rotarians,
Greetings from Spain!
Last week, our club held a successful and well organized meeting when we opened our doors to Former US Senator James Webb, Jr. where he enlightened us on US-Philippine relations before a big audience which were comprised of dignitaries, Rotarians from the district, alumni of US universities and our very own Manila Rotarians to the RCM leadership in organizing a successful membership event. On this note, I wish to thank VP Lance Masters, PE/Dir. Jackie Rodriguez, DE/BLA Amading Valdez, IPP Jimmie Policarpio, DE/Treasurer Nicky Villaseñor, Rtn. Farid Schoucair for extending his hotel services to cater to the needs of the Rotary Club of Manila, our Secretariat and volunteers who directly worked on this Rotary endeavor.
On the international relations front, I wish to invite everyone to join us on the 49th Anniversary Fund Raising Ball of the Rotary Club of Kowloon East and the 70th Charter Anniversary of the Rotary Club of Taipei which both take place on the same day. Our attendance at these events will mean alot as this is an opportunity to invite them to be one with us on the culminating events of our centennial.
With respect to our centennial projects, I wish to reiterate my appeal for your utmost cooperation and participation as the success of the various centennial projects are anchored on your support. As I have said, great things in Rotary are never done by a single person, but, by a team of Rotarians working together towards a common goal as we should bear in mind that our centennial celebration is a colossal undertaking.
Under ONE CENTURY, in furtherance of ONE MISSION, towards ONE ROTARY, I remain.
Hon. Hilario G. Davide, Jr.
