PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
ROWENA “Jing” SARAO
After all the glitz and glamour of our 17th Induction, the launch of many District programs, inductions of all the 83 Rotary clubs in our District 3830, it was most appropriate to pause, reflect and internalize all our Rotary vaues that are Christian based. It is most appropriate to invite one of our Honorary Member, Fr. Larry Tan, SDB.
What struck me the most in his dissertation is how we should live our lives affecting many around us in a positive way. Pres. Cory Aquino was his model and should be our model as we lead our Rotary lives.
The same day as our meeting, the District conducted a very successful Literacy Summit Conference at the Aerospace Museum in Nichols Air Base. I was given the task of introducing PDG Jimmy Cura. From Unicef, Collin Davis, and from USAID Aivan Amit.
In September 12, the New Gen Conference was held at the Umak in Makati. It was a huge success with 10 Interactors.
