PREXY’S
NOOK PRES.
JEROME GAERLAN |
This is my last article as President of our Club. I'm already waxing
nostalgic especially after that "tribute" given to me by the Club
Directors. Thanks a million Richard, Rex, Jerry, Jun , Tante and Albert, not
just for the "tribute" but for all the things that you have done to
make this Rotary Year a success. Thanks also to Secretary Diego and Treasurer
Ernie Galera, as well as to Manong Frank who handled a lot of tasks during my
term. Thanks to all the PDG Ces, ADG Rey
and all the other Past Presidents who are truly the "Heart and
Pillars" of our Club, as incoming Editor-in-Chief Edward Gaerlan would
put it. Thanks to all the Committee Chairmen and Co-chairmen, who voluntarily
did their jobs and complete the many projects we had, making us " Numero Uno" in the
District. Thanks to all those who
accompanied me to the various Club Inductions, Anniversaries and District
Affairs. Thank you, thank you, thanks you. I'm sorry I can't make it today since
I've decided to attend an important Rotary function, the International
Convention. While I'm there, I'll try to promote our Club and perhaps even
talk to potential Matching Grant or WCS donors to help us fund worthy projects for our locality. I'm sure the very capable
VP Tante Licudine or in case, he has to attend an Ophthalmology Conference,
the equally competent Club Service Director, Jerry Parlan, will take care of
things during today's meeting. Important agenda will be taken up having to do
with IP Richard's Induction and term. I ask the Club membership to support
Richard and grant him what is needed to make his term a success. Sorry, Richard if I can't accompany you to the various Club Inductions
for the later part of June. I'll try to make up, God willing, when I return
in July, in time for your Induction. |

Rotary Clubs and Other Organizations As a local unit of RI, a club should not become a member of or assume
obligations of membership in any other organizations. Its officers and committees may, and where
circumstances make it desirable should, sit in council with officers and
committees of other organizations, but without authority to bind the club. Rotary clubs may cooperate in sponsoring service projects where necessary
or desirable. However, the
establishment of an association of Rotary clubs for any purpose that is not
within the framework of RI administration is not permitted. A Rotary club
does not have the authority to join or bind its members to any other
organization. PHP 50.00 = US1.00 EFFECTIVE
