Rotary Club of Manila Educational Assistance Program (REAP)
Latest Update: REAP Commitments as of October 11, 2018:
Dear Fellow RCMers,
As you well know, our Centennial Year is upon us. In the past few years leading up to the present, your club leadership has planned and prepared several projects and events befitting this milestone in the history of our prestigious club. During the Town Hall Meeting last August 9, 2018, these activities were presented and broadly discussed. The responses of our members afterwards were inspiring. They want to do their share in making our centennial celebrations truly memorable, not only for RCMers but also to all Rotarians of the Philippines and of Asia. Indeed, in various district functions recently, other Rotarians from all over the country have also expressed their enthusiasm in joining us in the celebration of 100 years of the Rotary movement in this part of the world. They are just waiting, in their own words, for the Rotary Club of Manila to lead them. It is it time therefore, for us to take the challenge of leading our fellow Rotarians. And for us to do this effectively, the participation of each RCM member is needed.
Attached is the list of our centennial committees and their projects. Also provided is the Program of Activities for the Centennial Week. I urge you to volunteer your participation in any of the activities. Together, we can attain greater achievements for our club! Please indicate the committee(s) / event(s) that you are joining.
Yours in Rotary, Pres. Susing Pineda
Rotary Club of Manila Centennial Chorale Competition
Latest Update: A Memorandum of Cooperation between the Rotary Club of Manila and the Department of Education has been drafted for review of the parties concerned.
