Today we won't be having a Guest of Honor and Speaker. What we will be having are several guests, who are no less honorable than the various speakers who have graced our forum in the past. They are people who have been working with us thoughout this Rotary Year and we wish to give them some recognition.
First, we have some awardees from our adopted schools, the North Central and SPED schools in Barangay Tanqui. We have two awardees from each school. These are people who have shown remarkable dedication in performing their duties. In line with our Club's policy of recognizing such dedication, we are giving them Certificates of Recognition and a small cash prize.
Second, we will be giving Certificates of Appreciation to the Rotaract Clubs of LORMA and UCC and the Interact Clubs of LORMA and DMMMSU. Their club presidents and officers were willing to come but they are all attending review classes for Entrance and Board Examinations and we do not wish to disturb their concentration. They have been our Partners in Service in over 20 joint projects and we pray that they will be able to hurdle the important challenges that await them. We hope that the advisers of these Clubs, who are no less important in our eyes, will be around to receive the Certificates of Appreciation in their behalf.
I wish to thank those ten Rotarians who accompanied me to the DISCON held at the Fontana Assembly Hall. Thanks to PDG Ces, IP Richard, IPP Ferdinand, Directors Jerry and Jun, ID Alan, Sec. Diego, Rotarians Ric and Ruel and of course ADG Rey Bonifacio who took care of the lodging. District Governor Benny Uy gave us a memorable farewell during the Governor's Ball but kept reminding us that we still have two months of Rotary Service left before we turn over the 'reins' to the Incoming Presidents and Officers. After Convention hours, we had meaningful fellowship, courtesy of ADG Rey. Delegates from our Club to the Discon, to show appreciation have voted to make Rey Bo permanently in charge of Fellowship in our 'out-of-town' sorties.
Finally, I wish to remind Club Members who have been given tickets to the Family Circus Show, to please return 'sold' and 'unsold' tickets to Lydia by tomorrow, so we will still have time to sort them out. Those who still wish to be Sponsors of this worthwhile endeavor, the deadline is tomorrow, so as to give time for the 'making' of the 'streamer'.
