25 November 2012

My Dear Peacemaker Presidents and District Officers:

The Christmas Season is just around the corner and we, Rotarians, have always made it a point to share our blessings through our projects for the benefit of the poor and underprivileged. We also realize that the celebration of the season is centered on children who are always looking forward to receiving special gifts on Christmas Day.

In view if this, I would like to present our District Project for Christmas 2012, which we will call;

“ Pangarap ng mga Bata Ngayong Pasko”

Procedure:

Ÿ Each Rotary Club will select two (2) children from among the poorest in their communities.

Ÿ The clubs will ask each child what gift they would like to have this Christmas. The gift can be material or a wish. If possible, during the visit to the children, clubs to document the interview with pictures and videos.

Ÿ he names of the children and their addresses will be posted in our website and yahoo groups together with the corresponding gifts/wishes that they want.

Ÿ Clubs, Rotarians and/or friends of Rotarians in District 3790 willing to fulfill the dreams of the children will send their intention to the Office of the Governor via email or by calling DG Tony directly.

Ÿ The Office of the Governor will collate all these and will inform the clubs accordingly.

Ÿ The gifts/wishes will be given to the children-beneficiaries on or before December 25, 2012. These events which should also be documented.

The project aims to fulfill the dreams and aspirations of 200 poor children on Christmas Day and I am asking your full support to this wonderful project as we continue to bring PEACE THROUGH SERVICE.

May the Good Lord continue to bless you and your love ones.

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER November 20124

My fellow Rotarians, November is Rotary Foundation month.

hat is Real Service?, Real service is when we donate to Wthe foundation, with the

thought that our donations will help a lot of our less fortunate brothers and sisters all around the world, and most of all, eradicate the deadly disease POLIO in the face of the earth.

Service is an effective prayer to God, because we take those steps of helpfulness to people's needs, that bring us nearer to God.

Service done with real unselfish feeling is far more acceptable and useful, than those conducted with colorful, inaugural functions and newspaper advertise-ments. Giving a portion of oneself, is to extend happiness - at the same time, contributing one's own small share, towards a better and kinder world.

The path of service should be travelled selflessly and constantly. We are amongst a minority few who are blessed by the Almighty, and it becomes imperative to pass on some benefits to the needy. When you serve the needy, you see God in those beneficiaries.

“One day, when we depart, there will be no more alarms, no

afternoon siesta, no evening leisure or night TV shows. Your

beliefs, preferences, bank balance, assets, losses or

gains, your frustrations, jealousies and hopes will not matter. What will matter is,

what you gave, what you built for others. What will matter is, "how" you lived your life - not

"how long".


There are so many miseries and sufferings in this world. The role you play as a Rotarian is significant, and will surely enrich your lives. If you are generous, kind, tolerant, and compassionate and you are utilizing your energy, assets, intellect, wealth, strength, or anything you possess, for the betterment of others who are not as fortunate as you are - then you will be and will feel more blessed because you are able to give.

Chanting prayers with folded hands and closed eyes - are not true prayer to Him, when the surrounding community is in agony or in dire need. Of course, meditation, peace, and devotion are necessary, for our own upliftment, but we cannot elevate ourselves if we fail to elevate the needy.

We live for ourselves, for the most of our lives. Learn to live for others too. One day, when we depart, there will be no more alarms, no afternoon siesta, no evening leisure or night TV shows. Your beliefs, preferences, bank balance, assets, losses or gains, your frustrations, jealousies and hopes will not matter. What will matter is, however, what you gave, what you built for others. What will matter is, "how", you lived your life - not "how long".

Rotary has given us an opportunity, to live our lives for others too. The blessings of the needy we have helped is as strong as the blessings we crave from God. Let us share our philosophy, actions and commitment with everyone around us. Let us build Heaven on earth. It is possible.

My fellow leaders and partners in service, thank you for the good, that you have done, thank you for the good, that you will be doing, thank you for the good, that you will do, and thank you for the effort that you will do, to bring "Peace Through Service".

WHAT'S GOING ON?

District qualification now available online

To start the process, district officers

District grants go live on 31 October

District grants and reporting

To be qualified and apply for a global or packaged grant, a club must:

Online district qualification is now available to those who will serve as 2013-14 governors, governors-elect, and Rotary Foundation chairs for all districts. District qualification ensures that districts have the financial and stewardship controls that are necessary for managing their grant funds. Districts must be qualified in order to apply for district grants, global grants, or packaged grants.

Log in to Member Access.Select “Rotary Foundation Grants (2013-14).”Select “District Qualification.”

Information helps district officers through the steps of the process, including agreeing to the district qualification memorandum of understanding (MOU), and explains the MOU requirements, how to implement them, and how to manage Rotary Foundation grants under the new model. As of 11 October, 83 districts had qualified. Of that 83, 14 were pilot districts and 69 were non-pilot districts. Also, 185 additional districts had begun the qualification process.

The 2013-14 district grant application will be available via Member Access on 31 October, and applications may be submitted at any time until 15 May 2014. Completed applications must include the total district designated fund allocation requested, a district grant spending plan, and authorizations by those who will serve as the 2013-14 district governor, district Rotary Foundation chair, and district grant subcommittee chair. Although all Rotarians will be able to see the district grant home page, only these officers will be able to enter the application. Your district must be qualified to apply for a district grant. Learn more about how to qualify with the District Qualification tutorial.

In order to receive a 2013-14 district grant, districts must be current on reporting for all district-sponsored grants. For non-pilot districts, this also means submitting complete and accurate reports for at least 50 percent of a previously awarded District Simplified Grant. The Foundation will not pay the 2013-14 district grant until this requirement has been met. Beginning 1 July, standard reporting and payment requirements will apply. In order to receive payment for new district grants, districts are required to close their previous year’s district grant.

Ÿ Agree to and sign the club memorandum of understanding (MOU) provided by the Foundation. (The 2013-14 club president and president-elect must sign the MOU for the 2013-14 Rotary year.)

Ÿ Send at least one club member to the district’s grant management seminar. (See Foundation Grants FAQsfor updated materials.)

Mr. RandY RawrszerPresidentRotary Club of Sanford2260 Dumas DriveDeltona, FL 32738

Dear RandY:

Enclosed is a check for $416, which pays my last “Rotary bills- in full' Nancy overlooked the first one and I apologized to you and to the club for the oversight.

I havededucted from the second bill the $l00 for “Sustaining membership”,',and will no longer support this in our club or any other. Two years ago' when -The.Rotary Foundation rammed so-called Future Vision', down our throats, I made it clear that this would be my position if the program was instituted in our district. It is not obvious that this is going to happen.

Before implementrng ap rogram that will ultimately kill GSE, hasddefinitelyddone away with Matching Grants, and totally changes the way the Foundation does business, only 1.16% of Rotarians were surveyed as to what they thought the direction of TRF should be. Any statistician will tell that 1.16% of anything is not a meaningful statistical sample.

Then The Rotary Foundation "validated" so-called "Future Vision" in 100 pilot districts over a two year period. Afterwards, TRF conducted an "exhaustive survey" to determine the effectiveness of so-called "Future vision" and repofted it successful in well over 90% of the pilot districts. What they did not bother to tell any one was they only asked the opinion of the District Governor and the District Rotary Foundation chair in each of the pilot district. No clubs or other Rotarians were allowed the opportunity to voice their opinions.

Since it is the position of the board that we are a mandatory “sustaining” membership club, they may ask for my resignation,a nd if so, it will be rendered. However, I will forewarn you that you are going to find that you have other members who are no longer willing to contribute to The Foundation.

Sincerely

Christopher B. Stubbs

about fvp


Chris Stubb was a former inbound GSE team leader from D6870 Florida. During his stay in the country, he had made friends with many Rotarians in the district and had come back to visit twice. Chris had worked out a number of matching grants with some D3790 clubs.

about fvp


snippetsThe following are but a few posted on The Officials Rotary International LinkedIn, the Paul Harris Fellows on LinkedIn, the Major Donors on LinkedIn, and TRF Alumni on LinkedIn re the Future Vision Plan. All of these are Paul Harris Fellows, some are Major Donors, and some are DGs or PDGs. - PP Ron Nethercutt,

David Rosmer • The most negative impact is the destruction of the old smaller grants, generally between two or more clubs with an RI matching grant to increase the effect, My club maintained a relationship with my old club in the Philippines for more than 30 years and these two clubs together were able to achieve remarkable things ... primarily helping kids with harelip and cleft palate. I was incensed when I heard a former RI president refer to these programs as "band aids'... they sure as hell were not band aids for the kids who received the operations and their families. The new FVP does very little to enhance Rotary.

Rasheed K. Siddiqi • I fear that beginning July 2013 the GSE program would be dead. Similarly, the short term relatively small projects that clubs had been doing with Matching Grant would not be possible because the procedure for Global grant, and packaged grants seem to be quite cumbersome and restricted to the RI areas of Focus.

Stephen Coleman• Prior to FV Rotary built relationships between Rotarians and non-Rotarians and from those relationships good things grew. Now, the relationships are removed and TRF appears to be focused on building monuments. Our club's PE summed up the results of our three years in FV quite nicely when he asked, "is there really any reason for us to continue paying money to be a Rotary club when we could just be a civic club and do the same thing?"

Madhumita Bishnu • Is it possible the project value can be reduced as because we are a very small club consisting of 17 members and working on big projects or raising money for big projects is difficult.

Brian Hickey • I have always felt that the magic of Rotary was each Rotarian could make a difference. As I understand the "Future Vision, "going forward Foundation resources will be more centralized and controlled by "District and International". It seems to me that the influence of the club will be diminished and that the influence of an individual Rotarian will be minimal! It's not a positive time for the Foundation.

Bill Phillips • Is TRF is becoming so focused on measuring and promoting its own success that it is forgetting how to succeed? The most disturbing thing, and possibly the greatest threat to the long term health of TRF, is that the quest for "Bigger, Better, Bolder" projects raises the bar beyond the reach of less affluent clubs to directly participate in International Service.

William Parker • As the Non-Pilot Districts are learning more about Future Vision, there is growing "push back" because the clubs see a loss of autonomy. When Rotary International was founded, the basis of success was that the Rotary Clubs were in charge of their destinies with guidance and support from Districts, Zones, and Rotary International. However, it appears with Future Vision, this basic principle was lost in the change process. Foundation is creating a new set of requirements for grants that is "top down" rather than "bottom up".

“no moreMG forus smallclubs...”

District Information Chair

LinkedInThe Hijacking of The Rotary

Foundation! Most Rotarians don't have a clue how Future Vision got here.

GroupsDiscussion:

belonged to a District where most of the clubs are under 20 members and where the Icontributions to TRF are not enough, so the

DDF we received from RI was always around $25000 for over 50 clubs in the District. All of our DDF were destined to do MG's since the amount was so low to do any other programs and if you do the math the amount of funds at the disposal of Clubs is really low. Now according to R.I. only half of what we use to have will be at the disposal of the clubs to do MG's. This is like saying to our Clubs you can't do any more Grants. Fundraising in our countries is hard because we belong to poor countries and also because of the exchange rates for dollars are very high, so come up with a fundraising activity that generates more than $3000 to $4000 dollars is very hard, specially when you have limited memberships and people to work. Also, because of the limited membership and age of the members is hard to have people committed to long term projects or "sustainable" as R.I. like to call them now. Doing small MG's was the only way to reach the community and now thanks to R.I. that possibility is going to be very hard to achieve. >>>

And I am sorry to say this but I don't see the Rotarians in this side of the world committing to long term projects, that are difficult to manage and that require long term efforts>>>

Dear Rotary District Leader, On behalf of the Rotary International Secretariat, we want to update you on the Future Vision Readiness Survey and thank everyone who participated. This May 1,570 district leaders from 89 Rotary countries responded to the survey with a 45% response rate. Survey trends have been shared with the Future Vision Committee and the Future Vision trainers who will be attending the upcoming GETS and Zone Institutes. They will use the feedback received from this survey to tailor the trainings and resources to address regional needs. Key survey findings include: Ÿ 90% of district leaders surveyed support the Future Vision PlanŸ At the time of the survey, May 2012, almost 60% of districts had already included Future Vision training at

district meetings or in district communicationsŸ 50% of nonpilot clubs have reached out to a pilot districtŸ The majority of districts are eager for or see opportunities in district grants (80%) and global grants (67%)Ÿ 54% of districts felt they had some understanding of the new grant model, while the remaining 46% felt

insufficiently informed In order to support you in the transition to Future Vision, below are key resources to help you prepare your club and district leaders: District Rotary Foundation Committee Manual (http://www.rotary.org/RIdocuments/en_pdf/300en.zip) – A key, comprehensive resource on the district Rotary Foundation committee’s roles and responsibilities, Rotary Foundation grants and programs, district qualification, and fundraising. District Rotary Foundation Seminar Manual (http://www.rotary.org/RIdocuments/en_pdf/438en.zip) – A series of suggested PowerPoint presentations and session outlines for use at district Rotary Foundation seminars or other zone or district level training for club-level Rotarians who need to understand the basics. Grant Management Manual (http://www.rotary.org/RIdocuments/en_pdf/grant_management_manual_en.zip) – An important resource for clubs and districts that want to apply for a global grant; should also be used as a resource at grant management seminars. Grant Management Leaders’ Guide (http://www.rotary.org/RIdocuments/en_pdf/grant_management_leaders_guide_en.zip) Please note that you may be asked to complete additional surveys regarding your district’s preparations for the launch of the new grant model.

The plan will roll out for all districts in 2013. These ideas can get your club and district started as you develop vocational training opportunities.Ÿ Both clubs and districts can develop and apply for global

grants to fund vocational training under the Future Vision Plan.

Ÿ Clubs and districts are free to develop as many global grants for vocational training as they wish in a given Rotary year. Consider the number of trainings appropriate for your area.

Ÿ Communities can provide inspiration. Clubs and districts are encouraged to pinpoint their community’s needs and strengths within an identified area of focus when developing vocational trainings with other clubs or districts.

Ÿ Teams may either receive or provide training. Capacity building is key.

Ÿ Either a single team or multiple teams may travel on a global grant. You determine the number of teams needed for each grant.

Ÿ Each team may center training on a different area of focus , if more than one vocational training team is traveling on a grant.

Ÿ A minimum of one Rotarian team leader and three non-Rotarian participants are required per team. There is no maximum team size. Develop your team according to the goals of your grant.

Ÿ There are no age restrictions for participants. Instead, selection is based on expertise within the identified area of focus.

Ÿ All participants on a single team must have careers linked to the goals of the grant , but they are not required to have the same professions.

Ÿ Vocational training is an opportunity for Rotarian service. Rotarians may participate on vocational training teams that are providing training, if they have the needed skills.

Ÿ Trainings may be developed for any time frame , depending on the scope of the training project.

Ÿ Trainings may take place in a variety of settings , including universities, medical institutions, schools, companies, and community centers. Determine which setting is most appropriate for your training.

Ÿ Teams may be hosted in a variety of places , such as Rotarians’ homes, university dormitories, and hotels. Determine what kind of hosting is most appropriate for your team.

Ÿ Costs are flexible. There is no set, catalog cost associated with vocational trainings. Global grants must meet the US$30,000 minimum for total project cost, but this includes the expenses for the vocational training team as well as any other grant activities, such as humanitarian projects, scholarships, or additional teams.

Ÿ A Rotary Foundation District Grant can be used to support a vocational training team that's more like a traditional Group Study Exchange. The vocational training exchange can be with any district (pilot or nonpilot), and teams are not required to train within one of the areas of focus.

Ÿ Scholarships will support international, graduate-level study for a term of one to four years. The scholar’s academic and professional goals must further the goals of their selected area(s) of focus.

Ÿ Vocational training teams will either provide or receive training within the areas of focus. Team size and composition, as well as professional background, are variable; however, each participant’s career goals must be linked to the area(s) of focus.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING TEAM

istricts participating in the Future Vision pilot have a direct role in managing Rotary Foundation grant funds. In order to prepare for this responsibility and be eligible to receive district and global grants, Ddistricts must first complete the online qualification process in Member Access where they will read and

agree to implement a district memorandum of understanding (MOU), provide payee information for a district grant account, and establish an annual financial oversight system. A district can be qualified before implementing the MOU; however, the district MOU must be implemented before the district can receive grant funds. Meeting these requirements ensures that your district has the basic tools for implementing appropriate stewardship, financial, and grant management practices.

The district Rotary Foundation committee chair is responsible for managing the district’s qualification process and making sure the district MOU is being implemented. The chair is the primary contact for district grants and authorizes global grant applications before the Foundation reviews them. By authorizing global grants, the district Rotary Foundation committee can track the District Designated Fund amounts being requested and assure the Foundation that the club applying for the global grant is qualified.

District qualification must be reauthorized every year. To reauthorize qualification, the district governor, district governor-elect, and district Rotary Foundation committee chair (if new), log in to the Future Vision Pilot Site through Member Access, confirm that parts two and three are correct, and authorize their agreement to parts one and four of the qualification process. A qualified district keeps its status as long as reauthorization is completed by 31 July.

Districts must also qualify their member clubs each year. This includes holding one or more grant management seminars for all clubs interested in applying for global grants and assisting clubs with implementing the stewardship and financial practices outlined in the club memorandum of understanding. The grants subcommittee is responsible for overseeing the qualification of clubs.

Determine whether your district needs to add requirements to the club MOU to increase stewardship and adhere to local laws. Any additional requirements should be reasonable for all clubs to attain and for the district to manage.

Additional district requirements for clubs might include:Ÿ Clubs must share grant proposals with the district grants subcommittee.Ÿ All grants must comply with reporting.Ÿ Clubs must be qualified to receive district grant funds.

Dear District Governors Elects and Rotary Club Officers: Greetings from Rotary International! It is now time to update your Rotary club officers’ data (president, secretary, executive secretary/director (optional position), treasurer, membership and foundation chair) and also verify your club meeting and contact information for the incoming 2013-14 year. If you have already completed the data for your Rotary club using Member Access or OneRotary data integration, you may disregard this reminder. If you wish to further confirm and verify the completeness of your club’s data please go to “Update Club Data” in Member Access. Current club officers who will continue serving in the same role in the 2013-14 year MUST also be reported. If the club or district software that your Rotary club is using does not participate in OneRotary data integration, this information will not be transferred to Rotary’s database and they must be entered in Member Access. To verify if your club or district software is participating, please review the list of OneRotary data integration participants under the link “participating vendors in OneRotary”. Having the correct information of Rotary club officers, club contact and meeting location on file at Rotary International is very important. The same data will be used for publishing the 2013-14 Official Directory, the mailing of Semi-Annual Reports and other communications with Rotary clubs. For efficiency and cost savings Rotary prefers to communicate via email so please add/verify the officers’ email address. Also if your club has a permanent email and mailing address they should be added. Ready to get started? Log into Member AccessNeed to register for Member Access? Sign up hereNeed more information?

Learn how to become a100% Every Rotarian, Every Year club

Four years ago, Richard Zegar, a member of the Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunset, Hawaii, USA, decided to serve as his club’s Rotary Foundation director. With the help of past club president Chuck Harris, he started to regularly remind club members what the Foundation accomplishes. Club members “improve, and in many cases, save lives through their generous Foundation support,” says Zegar. His strategy worked. The club has averaged $803 in per capita giving over the past four years. “Before I took over the club was averaging about $300 per capita,” Zegar says. In 2011-12, the figure was $946, and the club attained 100 percent participation in Annual Fund giving.

Taking the long view

As the clock ticks down to 1 July, we are in the final stages of preparing for the full rollout of the Future Vision Plan. Our goal is simple: enabling our Foundation to continue Doing Good in the World, and ensuring that we make the best use of every dollar, euro, yen, and peso that we have.

In everything we do in Rotary, we strive for the greatest impact. This means focusing on sustainability – on projects whose effects will go on for years, and on work that will continue to change lives even after Rotarians' involvement has ended. When polio is eradicated, every child who will ever be born will benefit, long after the last drop of vaccine has been put into a child's mouth. PolioPlus is, of course, a unique Rotary program – but it is time to bring that kind of long-term perspective to all our service.

Part of our goal in Future Vision is making sure that we focus on the long view in everything we do. Accordingly, part of that mindset is making sure that we make it a priority to support The Rotary Foundation and its Annual Fund. Our goal is Every Rotarian, Every Year: for every Rotarian to give a gift each year to the Annual Fund, with an average donation of US$100. Meeting that goal would mean $120 million per year for Rotary service. It would also mean an organization in which every single member is supporting, and is invested in, the Foundation's success – making The Rotary Foundation truly Our Foundation.

Select committed Rotarians to serve in fundraising positions for several years in a row. This consistency contributes to an “atmosphere of giving.”

Meet one-on-one with members to discuss The Rotary Foundation’s work. Then ask them to join you in supporting the Foundation.

Recognize new members by making a donation in their name to the Foundation. Not only will you introduce them to individual recognition opportunities, but you’ll also encourage their continued support.

Use Foundation reports to inform members of their current recognition levels, and encourage them to reach the next level. Acknowledge club members who attain higher giving levels.

Explain how effective and efficient The Rotary Foundation is compared with other charities. For example, tell members that 100 percent of their donation funds programs.

Dear fellow Rotarians,

There are many ways to describe our Rotary Foundation. But I think of our Foundation literally – as the foundation for all of Rotary.

We do not often think about the ground beneath our feet. We do not often think about the walls that are holding up our house. We take them for granted. We

think about them only when they are not there.

Not long ago in Japan, the ground fell out from under our feet. On Friday, 11 March 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake shook Japan to its very core. More than 15,000 people died, nearly 6,000 were injured, and another 4,000 are still missing. The total losses of the disaster are estimated at over US$300 billion.

In a matter of hours, half a million people in one of the world's wealthiest and most developed countries lost everything. They went from living in comfort and security to facing an uncertain future in school gymnasiums, tents, and ruined buildings.

In Japan, we are used to earthquakes. We thought we were ready for anything. But no one ever expected anything like this.

What happened on that day changed Japan, and everyone who lives there. It has made us realize how fragile our lives are. And it has made me realize how little separates me from the people I help through Rotary.

It is easy to look at the people we help through our Foundation as somehow different from ourselves. They live far away. We do not know their language or their culture. We do not know what it is like to have no running water, no sanitation, no health care, no education. We look at pictures, and we read stories in the news about poverty, wars, and disasters. We see, from so far away, the people who are living through such terrible times. But it is hard to put ourselves in their place.

Today, I tell you that there is nothing at all separating us from the people we help. We are all the same. Only the circumstances surrounding us are different.

Through our Foundation, we have the power to live the words of our Foundation's motto: Doing Good in the World. Through it, we can do so much more good than we could ever do alone. And it matters so much – to people just like us.

Sakuji Tanaka, President, Rotary International


MONTHLY MESSAGE from RI PRESIDENT

n the right hand side of the Tagus (the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula), Lisbon is a O

major European city, with a metropolitan area containing up to 2.5 million people (which means that 1 in 4 Portuguese people live in the Lisbon area). Lisbon has justly won three of the 2009 World travel Awards for Europe: Europe's Leading City Break Destination,Europe's Leading Cruise Destination and Europe's Leading Destination.These are just some of the reasons why you simply cannot miss one of the most charming cities in the world: LISBON!

It seems that the city's name stems from a Phoenician expression, “Alis-Ubbo”, which means “serene harbour”. In fact, Lisbon was built around the immense Tagus' mouth. Although the river's mouth is quite large towards the west, it has a large gulf that gives it a somewhat oceanic quality. It was always a good port and it still is one of the most important ones in Europe today, but it is also good for a great variety of nautical sports. Lisbon is connected to the south by two very characteristic bridges, engineering masterpieces which give the capital a particular charm.

Lisbon has a dozen different faces, of different urban landscapes, each and every one with its own urban rhythms and lifestyles. With an undulating topography, many of its monuments are seen from afar on top of their hills. It has seven hills, all of them densely urbanised. Some say that Lisbon is, architecturally speaking, a white city, which gives it its markedly Mediterranean character.

Lisbon has a very good transport network, especially its under-ground lines, abundantly decorated with artworks: each station has its own colour scheme and theme. Lisbon is also dotted with the picturesque yellow electric trams, whose trajectories are of great tourist interest.

This is a very sophisticated, complex and cosmopolitan city. It has always been like this, with people from all around the world walking its streets. It has an unrelenting appetite for culture, hosting a multitude of events, and dozens of attractions, theatres, night-life spots, football stadiums, churches and museums. You have no time to get bored in Lisbon.Moreover, there is a typical cultural expression that was born in Lisbon: the Fado, a nostalgic, mysterious type of song that enthrals and awes all those who hear it.

Lisbon is made up of many different boroughs. In Lisbon - Alfama, Baixa and Bairro Alto you can find the hustle and bustle of an historic city. Lisbon - Belém, by the riverside, pays homage to the Portuguese Discoveries, with its great and renowned monuments. If you fancy modern acrchitecture, you shouldn't miss Lisbon - Eastern Lisbon where the Parque das Nações boasts a variety of facilities as well as cultural and leisure areas. Lisbon - Estrela, Lapa and Doca de Alcântara is a charming, quiet area of the city. By Lisbon- Greater Lisbon it is meant the wider area of the Portuguese capital.

LISBONRegister now.


May I remind everyone that by Dec 15, registration for the RI Lisbon Convention will be $265.00. Please find time to register before the said date.

- PP Abner Tayco


Find new members through social media

ith the help of social media, it took less than two months for the Rotary Club of WEdmond Boulevard, Oklahoma, USA, to

become a chartered, active club. Rotarians Michelle Schaefer and Hal Stevens met early in April to develop their social media strategy, and by late May the new Rotary club was officially chartered. The two used Facebook and LinkedIn to recruit members.

“We had more than 25 people email us with signed charter forms within two weeks of posting and sending messages on Facebook and LinkedIn,” says Stevens, the club’s charter president.

They found potential members by looking at Facebook profiles and interacting with people on LinkedIn message boards. Schaefer and Stevens were interested in creating a multi-generational club using all the technology available. “I knew it was possible to start a new club quickly through social media,” says Stevens, who had started three Rotaract clubs in his districtwith the help of Facebook.

“Social media helps us engage a diverse audience who might not know anything about Rotary, get their feedback, and respond to questions immediately,” says Schaefer, who is 2014-15 governor-nominee for District 5750 (Oklahoma).

e had a Medical Mission last 17 November 2012 doing blood pressure and diabetes screening to Wresidents ages 40 years old and above, at Brgy.

Tabun, Angeles City. This project was spearheaded by Rtn. Amiel Valerio our very own Internist/ Diabetologist in coordination with Rtn Alma D. Mercado, Punong Barangay.

The project was supported by the following pharmaceutical companies: Cathay YSS Drug which provided the lancets and test strips in getting the LDL (bad cholesterol) and glucose level of the patients.

In addition, Cathay YSS gave samples of oral hypoglycemic drugs, vitamin B complex and drug to lower triglyceride; Servier Phils which gave lecture on varicose veins and gave ECG test to patients; Nestle Phils. which gave lecture on nutrition for diabetics and samples of their nutritional drinks; GSK Phils. which donated various medicines. In addition to the above, Ms. Erlinda Maglanque RN, DOH Region III and a member of Zonta Club of Pampanga also gave lecture on Breast Self Examination for early cancer detection.

At the end of this half-day event, we were able to provide LDL and glucose test to 45 female and 28 male residents and 30 of whom were given ECG test. Our club believes that doing this type of medical mission does not cure the patient of the affliction. However, we also believe that making the residents aware that they are afflicted with diabetes which is a life threatening illness if not properly managed is a service in itself to the community.

While all of the above modern medical testing and consultations are happening, hilot, a traditional way of cure for body aches and pa ins is a lso happening within the barangay hall. In fact, hilot has been taught to some residents

who are now doing it as a source of livelihood. And, for those who are suffering from vertigo and poor hearing, Indian ear candle were also available.

Focus your eyes just slightly above the camera lens, move your face forward a bit, and tip down your chin. Put your tongue behind your teeth and smile, which will relax your face. Keep your arms by your side-but not glued there. To look natural, they should be a little away from your body. Test-drive clothing against a white wall, with an indirect, natural light source (under a tree, indoors near a window)-it will show whether blue really is your best color. As a rule, avoid patterns. Photos exaggerate everything, so go easy on the makeup. For women under 30, a little mascara and lip gloss; over 30, add a touch of concealer. Practice the classic model pose: Turn your body three quarters of the way toward the camera, with one foot in front of the other and one shoulder closer to the photographer. When you face forward, your body tends to look wider. For standing photos, belly in, buttocks tight, shoulders back, spine straight.Study photogenic people as well as photos in which you think you looked best. Look at your best angle. You'll probably see that you were laughing or having a good time. Capturing someone when they're relaxed or most animated usually makes for the best results. To feel at ease, try closing your eyes, then opening them slowly just before the photo is taken.

REACHING out for IPs

The Rotary Club of Magsingal North of Ilocos Sur pride itself, in taking a bold step to fulfill one of its mandate in promoting peace and order in the

uplands.At exactly four o'clock dawn of November 2, 2012 five(5) Rotarians; President Leila I. Malamug, CP Eva Tadique, PP Karen Santos, Treasurer Lorna Luczon and PP Estrella O. Soria boarded the vehicle loaded with sardines, noodles, school supplies, books, clothing, medicines and medicine kits for indigenous peoples schools; Unzadan Elementary School, Kinapian Elementary School and Man-atong Elementary School of Suyo District, Suyo Ilocos Sur and Zigzang Pines Elementary School, Pautan Primary School and Aluling Elementary School of Cervantes District, Cervantes, Ilocos Sur.

The first stop over was in Kinapian Elementary School, where Bago culture as being preserved through its curriculum. This is called the Bago School for Living Tradition. The group was amazed to find out how rich and beautiful culture Bago is as manifested in their songs, dances, costumes, musical instruments, artifacts, customs and traditions. The respect for Bago culture as an indigenous tribe was written all over the forces of the Rotarians as Mrs. Pia Arciano guided the group in the different class rooms and display rooms.

The group was only too glad to leave something for the teachers, pupils and parents which they also appreciated much. The glow in their eyes spelled out happiness that only true love and concern could evoke. It is important to mention that Urzadon and Ziggag-Pines are two (2) of the PRIME schools: PRIME stands for Philippines, Response to Indigenous People and Muslim Education, a program of DepEd supported by Australian Government. Magsingal North Ilocos Sur is blessed to be given a chance to strengthen its cultural sensitivity and make these people feel they are respected and not marginalized, that they possess gifts, talents and ingenuity which have stand the test of time and getting more prominent in the future as seem in a perspective.

The Rotarians were not fazed by steep twists and turns as they climbed the mountains and crossed rickety hanging bridge. If their brothers and sisters in these places can, why cant they!

RCMNIS look forward to celebrating Christmas program with brother and sisters in another re-planned community.

Along with the wonderful experience is the realization that God loves His creatures so much and each blessing must be shared to show appreciation to the Giver.

“The best things in life are free”, goes the line of a song. Yes, the wild flowers, the pristine forest, tall green mountains, humming rivers and dancing falls, colorful stones and life-giving earth, all these are endowed to the Bago Tribes FREE!

Cluster 4A of District 3790, led by Assistant Governor Ed Panlaqui, embarked on its second Inter-club meeting for the purpose of reviewing its overall performance for the first quarter of the Rotary year.

The presidents of the ten member-clubs were assigned their respective topics and took turns in the presentation, which was held on the 7th of November 2012 at Max’s Restaurant, City of San Fernando, Pampanga, hosted by the cluster’s mother club, the Rotary Club of San Fernando (P).

A first in the history of District 3790, the Cluster Quarter Review was conducted in the presence of no less than the Governor, Tony Bautista, together with Past District Governors Jess Nicdao and Benny Ricafort of Districts 3790 and 3800, respectively.

As conceptualized by AG Ed, the review was neither a competition nor an antagonizing moment for and among the ten member-clubs, rather, it was organized to meet the following objectives:

To measure the cluster’s actual performance in various fields vis-à-vis its targets;

To identify common areas of concern; To recognize efforts and contributions; and, To motivate.

The unnumbered Rotarians in attendance were in high spirits as they listened and watched the presentations and cheered each time their club emblems were flashed on the screen. DG Tony was equally elated as figures and data begun to unfold before his eyes.

Notable among the cluster’s first quarter measurable achievements were in the fields of Member Recruitment; Administration & Attendance; and, TRF Contributions, as can be gleaned from the graphical representations.

Not to be outdone, though, were the efforts in the conduct of multitude of projects related to Hunger; New Generations; Literacy; Care of the Environment; Livelihood; Support to District Functions; and, Health.

At the conclusion, the review paved the way for shared commitments among the ten member-clubs, the furthering of cluster undertakings, and the germination of united clubs under one cluster leadership.

Eastern Pampanga

Nothing could be more endearing than the show of compassion and the offer of a helping hand to those who are in dire need.

At the height of the monsoon rains (Habagat) that poured in Luzon in the middle of August of this year, Pampanga was perhaps the most devastated, where flooding was experienced nearly in the entire province.

With no direct orders or specific instructions, Rotary Clubs in Cluster 4A acted swiftly and spontaneously, over and above the call of duty. Every club initiated multiple relief operations in various areas of Pampanga, solely and in cooperation with their one-to-one partners in service.

A total of 36 Quick Response Operations were undertaken in different parts of the province distributing 11,875 relief packages to the same number of individuals in a span of 10 days.

The onslaught of the prolonged downpour caused massive evacuations and relocations. People sought refuge to wherever higher grounds would allow while many were trapped in their homes with insufficient commodities in their reach.

ShelterBox Philippines, headed by its founder and Chairman, PDG Jess Nicdao of District 3790, together with the member-clubs of Cluster 4A, in cooperation with the LGU of the City of San Fernando, volunteers from the Army and Rotaractors, erected 75 tents for the 150 displaced families from Barangay San Nicolas and San Pedro.

on matter of hosting and DISTRICT EVENT registration

On the matter of “Who is registration-free?” DG Tony Bautista wrote:

To my dear PeaceMaker team, Greetings of Peace to everyone!So as not to complicate matters and make the issue get out of hand, I would

like to issue this clarification to put an end to this concern.First of all, I never issued a directive to anyone that Assistant Governors

and District Officers are free of charge when attending any district affairs during my term.

Just the same as the others, they should REGISTER and PAY registration fees. It is only upon the discretion of the District Governor, whether they are to be charged or not, or unless shouldered by the District Governor.

Second, as a practice, only PDG's and spouses are free of charge, when attending district affairs.

With the above, I am hoping that this will put an end to this issue and concern, and I am looking forward to the understanding and cooperation of all concerned.

Let's embrace our theme, "Peace Through Service", and move on for the achievement of our objectives this Rotary year.

God bless and my warm regards!

Editor’s notes:

It has been a policy for this district that event hosts pay for the meals of PDGs and their spouses. However, some districts only pay for the meals of the DG and presenters.

One PDG commented, “The circle of governors grows every year. It is unfair to burden the district event host.”

Lastly, I appreciate the emails I received who supported my criticism of free registrants, many of which came from fellow district officers. :-)
