Aloha! That's how we celebrated our 42nd Charter Anniversary, Hawaiian style! It was a very colorful anniversary as everyone, including our guests,were all dressed for the occasion. Even our Mother Club, the Rotary Club of Dagupan headed by their President Clarence Decano was present to witness this important occasion. Our heartfelt thanks to District Governor Mark and Ann Sol, not only did they grace our anniversary, they even donated P 20,000.00 as additional seed money for the construction of our New Rotary Service Center. I would also like to thank PDG Bong Joven for donating P 10,000.00 for the Service Center..
     Our anniversary wouldn't be very successful without the support of the many members of our club namely, PP Canor and PP Rey Bo, Chairman and Co-Chairman of the Anniversary, VP Rex and his committee for the outstanding yet dramatic tribute and awarding of the "Lifetime Achievement Award" and "Special Citation for Non Past President" which went to PP Dan Bolong and PVP Frank Buenaventura, my congratulations to the both of you! Thank you Dir Alan for that "well done" menu, Rtn Frederick for the arrangements of the venue. Rtn Robert Sibayan for the usherettes, taking care of the registration and welcoming of guests. IPP Jerome and Tita Salvador for being the emcee. PP Canor, Dir Jun, Dir Reggie, Rtn Romeo Chan, Rtn Edward and their Anns for that nice Hawaiian entertain

ment.
     I would also like to thank the following for that solemn groundbreaking ceremony at sunrise, Dec 1, 2001.  PP Albert, chairman of the Rotary Service Center and Editor Edward for the program. Rtn. Romy de Castro for conducting the groundbreaking ceremonies, and again to Rtn. Frederick for making sure the site was prepared for the ceremony (and for being in two places at one time…arrangement for the anniversary and groundbreaking site…hope you didn't mind). And to the rest namely PP Aldy, PP Ben, PP Cres, PP Jerome, PP Canor, PP Ferdinand, Romeo, Arnel, Dir Reggie, Dir Alan, VP Rex, Edward Dy, Joel Salvador, and Frank.
     On Dec 5, Wednesday, we will be conducting our much awaited Rota-Brain quiz contest at CAP building 3:00 PM. This will surely be another big event because instead of our usual inter collegiate contest only, we will be having an elementary and high school level competitions too. So I'm again asking for the support of the members, we will be needing a lot of officiating staff as this will be a longer than usual event.
     One Dec 6, we will also be having our initial feeding/deworming and health/sanitation program at Mindoro, Bangar. This will be the start of a series of projects aimed at uplifting this poor barangay.
