I want to commend our directors for the reports about the club's accomplishments of the last six months of this rotary year 2001-2002. Of course these accomplishments wouldn't be possible without the support of the general membership. Thank you all and I look forward to your continued support for the next six months. Though we have numerous accomplishments, for the next six months our club still have numerous activities lined up like Vitamin A, Career Guidance, Medical Missions, Disaster Training, Career Placement and etc.
     I would like to welcome our guest of honor and speaker for today, PP Rene Ronquillo of RC Baguio, also the Cluster Chair for Club Service.
     Last week, we had the social preparation phase for Tubao, La Union. Meeting with the 5 barangay communities have already started. Tubao is one of the new municipalities chosen for the Community Based Disaster Management Training. Our club had to cancel our previously planned training for Santo Tomas and Agoo due to lack of commitment from the community members. The other municipality chosen was Aringay wherein presentation of the

project will be done after Tubao.
     Last Saturday, January 12, we started the training phase for the 5 barangays of Luna. Training venue was at the barangay hall of the said municipality. The said training will be completed by the first week of February, hopefully together will the municipality of Tubao. After which, the municipality of Aringay will follow.
     Our club will also start the Vitamin A supplementation program this January. Our club  already received request from 5 municipalities namely, Sudipen, Bangar, Balaoan, Sto. Tomas and Burgos with around 4,500 Vitamin A capsules already set aside for distribution. This project will require a lot of help from the general membership.
     I would like to again remind the general membership of the upcoming Mid Year Review on Saturday, Jan 19, 2002, 4:00 PM at the Oasis Country Resort. The said program will be hosted by the Rotary Club of San Fernando City North, I would encourage everyone to attend the affair as we review our accomplishements and what other improvement needed for our club.
