RCCPC President’s Message – Week 5

Dear Fellow Rotarians,

Good evening Fellow Rotarians.

Og Mandino once shared, “Always render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.

We may have wearing different task and it could be small and some other huge enough to eat out our time but we should be doing our task more and in better way.

We called for a BOARD MEETING last July 30, 2018 and called for the wisdom of the PAST PRESIDENTS to guide us in the direction of this club. Several discussions were made and decisions were made also on how the absences of the members and the payables of the members will be paid. I would like to all the PDG’s and PP’s who attended and there were so many information and history being unveiled that only at those time I have heard that we could define as “WAKE UP CALL!”.

Last August 8, we had meeting with Incoming Governor Philip Tan and our own RCCPC Director and TRF Night Chairman Jeffry Tan and discussed about the TRF Night that will be hosted by Rotary Club of Cebu Port Center. I would like to appreciate Director Jeffry Tan for the Nice Layout of the ONLINE REGISTRATION and soon this week it will be launched. Incoming Gov Philip helped me in making the budget projections of the particular event which should be profitable enough for the host club.

It is then finalized:

  • TRF Night will be at Cebu Country Club on November 10, 2018
  • Early Bird Registration until October 10, 2018 will be P 800 per head.
  • Normal Registration will be P 1,000 per Head

On the next day, August 9, through the kindness of PDG Anton Florendo and PP Toby Florendo, I and District Governor Bing Garcia were able to play golf at Cebu Country Club. It was a great opportunity for our club to discuss to the governor the CLUB’s activities, status and project while we played golf. Governor Bing Garcia promised that he will be here during the ROTAPLAST DAYS this coming October to grace our project.

After the golf tournament, I invited Governing Bing and Lady Nene for a Seafood Tinola and Sinugba at A-ONE Restaurant where they commented that after a series of Inductions and Lechon, they had their best seafood meal.

I would like to remind that we will have GOVERNOR’s VISIT this coming September 5, 2018 and that is Wednesday. We have only few days left but we are always ready. I am assigning VP John Sulay on this preparation and CHAIRMAN of GOVERNOR VISIT, to arrange from pick-up, meetings and fellowship preparations. I am requesting that all the AUNTS or SPOUSES shall be here during the Governor Visit because we have to show that although we have no female membership but we have strong support of the Aunts and Spouses.

During our Area Cordination Meeting last August 4, at Casino Espanol, it was discussed and tutored how the updates on Rotary Central and the goals shall be encoded online www.Rotary.org. Humbly Speaking, while other clubs still learning how to make entry we have already reported more than 25 projects in that online system and encoded goals to the amazement of the District Officers.

PDG Anton Florendo said “Can we smell the ROTAPLAST in the Air?”. Yes it is fast approaching. I would like to advise the general membership that should they have comments on the committee assignments, please show your plan right now because we have to finalize by this month.

Finally, We have to remind everybody that we have to help our Rotary Foundation:

  • We have the Each Member Minimum Contribution of USD 100 annually

 

  • Paul Harris Membership is now open for MATCHING. As the HOST CLUB, we have to show that we have enough support this time to ROTARY FOUNDATION. So far the following, pledge for PAUL HARRIS:
    1. President Rodien Paca – Paul Harris + 1
    2. VP John Sulay – Paul Harris
    3. Dir Jeff Tan – Paul Harris

I am asking you to please help us in this endeavor since we are the host club during the TRF NIGHT and CEBU COUNTRY CLUB is the Place of AWARDING. RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD. Do you think it is but fitting that we have more PAUL HARRIS and PLUSSES this year? I wanna see hands.

 

Thank you so much.
