Rotar y Inter nat ional Dist r ict 3800
RY 2012-2013 No. 09 March 2013 Issue
I have attended four other DISCONs, and I feel that ours we had
the best organized, most entertaining, most educational and most
attended.
Our term is not yet over and I am happy to note, that the Peace
Builder Presidents have been busy completing their projects and
making a run for the District Awards. This is a healthy sign that
all of them want to end their terms on a high note.
At the same time I admire their support to their respective PEs.
This is how Rotary should be. We do our best and at the same time
we support the future leadership. Only in this way, will Rotary
continue to be the service organiza-tion of choice in this
world.
Three more months remain in our term and let us finish it with a
flourish.
Mabuhay ang District 3800 at Mabuhay and Peace Builder team!
Yours in Rotary Service,
Peace Builder Governor Lirio Sandoval
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
The culmination of our months of preparations for DISCON 2013
finally came on March1-2. And what a celebration it was !!! We had
more than 800 paid attendees and surprisingly all the sessions were
well-attended. All the speakers including our RIPR PDG Antonio Soo
kept the audience in their seats. It was really an affair to
remember and cherish.
I would like to commend the DISCON Committee, especially, its
Chairman PP Jun Angeles, for a job really well done and to all the
participants and attendees, thank you for making it successful.

Planning Process for all Clubs should already take place
respectively in order to have smooth transition of club leadership
from the incumbent club officers to the incoming club officers. The
three-year strategies prepared by the Peace Builder Presidents and
the incumbent club officers should be shared to the incoming club
leaders as important and primary inputs for the club planning
process. Additional inputs maybe taken from the Presidents-Elect
Training Seminar in Cebu City. An important resource given during
the PETS event is the Club Officers Kit which contain very useful
and vital information to guide all club officers in the planning
sessions as well as in the execution of plans and programs. Club
monitoring of accomplishments is also an important resource
together with the input from Past Presidents who are the stalwarts
of your clubs.
District Officers , especially the Incoming Assistant Governors
, should be able to assist the clubs in planning, as they were part
of the District Team Training Seminar that was held in advance in
order to prepare all incoming district officers for the next term
under Incoming District Governor Louie Ticman. The output of the
Strategic Planning Session of the district will also be a good
resource for all clubs as the district’s strategic goals defined
are in line with the Rotary International Strategic Priorities.
Peace Builder Presidents and their teams have important roles to
play in the club planning process of their respective clubs for
continuity and sustainability of the clubs’ programs. By this way,
we are exemplifying the leader-ship qualities in us , as part of
the Peace Builder Team of District Governor Lirio Sandoval.

FUTURE VISIONFUTURE VISIONFUTURE VISIONFUTURE VISION
(Quick Reference Guide) Courtesy of PB Pres. Babes Zapanta-RC
Taytay
What is Future Vision? The Future Vision Plan is the Rotary
Foundation’s new model to support district and club humanitarian
and educational projects. Why was it adopted? The Foundation
identified a growing need to streamline its operations for improved
efficiency and focus its efforts to achieve greater impact and
public recognition.. When does it start? In July 2010, 100 Rotary
districts began to test the plan as part of a three-year pilot. All
districts will adopt the new model in July 2013. How does it work?
The following provide the basic information clubs and district need
to prepare for and participate in Future Vision. GRANTS Under the
Future Vision, the Foundation offers two types of grants: district
grants and global grants. District grants District grants are block
grants that allow clubs and district to address immediate needs in
their communities and abroad. Districts may request after 50
percent of their District Designated Fund (DDF) for one grant
annually. District that request less than 50 percent may use the
remaining DDF to support Polio Plus or participate in a global
grant. The district manages and disburses the funds to support
district-and-club-sponsored activities, including vocational
training teams, scholarship, and humanitarian service projects,
provided they are aligned with the Foundation’s mission. Global
grants Global grants offer opportunities to participate in
strategically focused, high-impact activities With support from the
Foundation ranging from US$15,000 to $200,000. These grants fund
large international humanitarian projects, vocation-al trainings
team, and scholarship that have sustainable, measurable outcomes in
one or more of area of focus. Activities may be carried out
individually or in combination- for example, one grant may support
a vocational training team and related humanitarian project. Clubs
and districts can either create their own grant projects or sponsor
packaged grants developed by the Foundation with it strate-gic
partners. Club-and district-developed global grants These grants
offer a minimum World Fund award of $15,000, for minimum project
budget of $30,000. The World Fund award is based on a 100 percent
match of DDF allocations or a 50 percent match of cash
contributions. Global grants must be sponsored by two clubs or
districts: host partner in the country where the activity takes
place and an international partner outside the country. When
planning a project, sponsors should conducts a thorough assessment
that explores the pressing needs in the project location along with
the club and community resources available to address them.
Packaged global grants These grants are developed by the
Foundation and its strategic partners-organizations working in the
areas of focus than offer financial support, technical expertise,
or advocacy. The World Fund and the strategic partner provide 100
percent of the funding, and Rotarians implement the grant project.
Packaged grant options will be posted online as they become
available. AREAS OF FOCUS After examining the range of humanitarian
issues that Rotarian adddress worldwide, the Foundation Trustees
identified six areas in which clubs abd districts could best
achieve substantive, quantifiable results. All projects, scholars
and vocational training teams funded by global grants should work
toward specific goals within one or more of the following areas of
focus:
-
