From the President’s Heart :
Good morning ladies! Nine months passed and we are proud to inform you that your club has re-activated our RCPMetro website.
Featured on the front page are some recent projects to update our surfers as well as the district on this Public image project : Active & updated website. If you click on the newsletter, you’ll find my personal message featured in our hard copy of UNLAD. Following are the uploaded copy of our club theme for my term : 1Decade +1 : Share the fun! To remind us that as your 11th president, there was no “lonely or disappointing” events for me. Not all were positive but in my own standard, everything are considered rewarding.
We reached our 30th member as Josephine Casuga joined us formally. She was with us in most of our projects with TESDA and joined our first episode of Women in peace Tourism project in Davao. This is our gift to RCPM to reach the 30-mark on membership with well recruited members that will form the strong team of PE Brenda’s term.
Congratulations PE Brenda! We are so enthusiastic to hear from you on your recent PETS at Pampanga. Your insights will be PN Cristy’s inspiration as well as your next working team.
Some pictures of the last Discon are printed in our current issue of UNLAD. See for yourself how our 30 registered delegation enjoyed the 2 days event. We made our Gov. Ato happy & proud of our good attendance not to mention our overwhelming participation in the programs. RCPMetro – the club to beat!!!
Ladies, for 9 months, you inspired this club to achieve and complete this year’s objectives : our own plans, activiely participate in District activities and increase our membership. With humility, I’ve already gotten my awards : that of having able to lead you as your Sharing President and worked with you for a full 9 months. Remaining months will be some fine tunigs and most on fellowhips. Not the end yet, for this term, however I look forward to being a fully Rotarized RCPMetronians with pride & happiness in my heart.
God bless ladies !!! PRES EDITH
ROTARY SPIRIT OF LIFE AWARD
Paul Harris on Rotary Spirit :
After having lived with Rotary during the twelve years of existence, I can, with fervor and sincerity, say that my faith in its destiny has constantly increased from the day of its birth.
Rotary is simple, genuine, true. Ir abhors deceit and pretentiousness, and had rather run the risk of under-rating than to run the risk of over-extolling its own virtues.
It is a man’s job to be a good Rotarian, and he who lives up to the precepts will be a good neighbor, a kind friend, a loving husband, a companionable father, and an asset to the community in which he lives.

Are you not inspired? If you have your 70 year old Rotarians in the club, wouldn’t you hope that they too must be honored? Contact Pres. Edith @0917-6247101. We are still searching for these Rotarians we can consider pillars in Rotary.
