President's Message
by Pres. Dante Verano
It was relaxing; it was fun, a taste of Rotary hospitality at its best. That is how I can best describe our brief sojourn at Angeles City last Friday to fulfill our part of Sisterhood Pact with RC Angeles. First, after short trip from our home city, we had a brief rest at Mimosa Villas where we will stay overnight. Since we are within the Clark Duty Free area, a little shopping with our meager baon was the first thing we did. Then, back to our villa where some started the �fellowship� as we freshen up and dressed in our crisp blue barong ready to meet with our fellow Rotarians of RC Angeles. We were treated with a sumptuous dinner of stuffed turkey and roast beef at the Ribeye Steak House, the best steakhouse in Angeles City. An awarding ceremony follows the dinner. It was for the Friendly golf competition which happened early in the morning with the golfers of RC Angeles our players. We did not beat them in golf but we had our share of the trophies for our golfers. What we did not have in golf we all have in our talent presentation. VP Kiko captivated them with his baritone rendition of a 60 classics, Secretary Vincent showed his prowess in dancing and the rest gave a number or two especially IPP Tony who brought the house down with his �funny antics�. It was like a showdown of talents between the best of RC Angeles and our Club and guess who won this event. My sincere gratitude to all who join me in this Interclub relationship activity.
After this Angeles City escapade, we hurried back to attend the District Paralympics at the Ultra in Pasig City with IPP Tony, PP Boy, Sec. Vincent and PE Dindo. The following day we were at the District Gift Giving at Home for the Aged in Boystown Complex at Parang Marikina City. Again, maraming salamat sa suporta sa mga District activities.
Next Thursday will be our Christmas Fellowship. I am sure Chairman Manolo is very busy preparing for this event and I expect everyone is practicing their number for this yuletide event.
Tonight we are to perform a sacred duty as Rotarians. We will elect the new set of officers and board members who will serve for Rotary year 2003-2004 under the leadership of PE Dindo Santos. It is a fundamental principle in Rotary that the best qualified candidates should be selected for service in Rotary�s elective offices. This is part of our commitment for our club to continue its legacy and longtime respect and admiration from our zone and the whole district. Vote Wisely.
Secretary's Corner

"CREP: ORGANIZING A DISTRICT CONFERENCE"
One of the most efficient sources of Rotary Information is our Continuing Rotary Education Program or CREP. During our November 28, 2002 meeting, our topic was Organizing a District Conference. Our speaker is no other than PP Roland Garcia who is the chairman for the upcoming DisCon on March 21 and 22, 2003. Our speaker�s elaborate presentation made us realize the immensity and complexity of this event. It gave us an overview of how much time, effort and expenses are involved just to be able to hold a District Conference. The valuable information that we acquire through the expert knowledge of our seasoned speakers help in molding us into better and more dedicated Rotarians.
"SISTER CLUB VISITATION"
Our sister club, RC Angeles gave our members a taste of their Pampange�o hospitality during last Friday�s (November 29, 2002) sister club visitation. Our golfers who arrived earlier had the rounds of their most grueling and taxing golf course. Dinner was at the Rib Eye Restaurant were a Thanksgiving meal complete with stuffed Turkey and Roast Beef were served. The Rotarians of RC Angeles were impressed by the entertainment package presented by RC Marikina with IPP Tony�s song and dance as the main act. Those who joined this unforgettable fellowship event were: Pres. Dante, PE Dindo, VP Kiko, Sec. Vincent, IPP Tony, PP Flor, PP Joe Lee, PP Boy Ong, PP Onie, PP Jun Farcon, Dir. Val, Dir. Celso, Dir. Pons, Dir. Jessie, PD George, Rtn. Ronie, PT Rolly, PT Abbet, Rtn. Eduard and Rtn. Jun Jun.
"DISTRICT PARALYMPICS"
After a night of fellowship and merrymaking with RC Angeles, Pres. Dante, with a group of dedicated Rotarians woke up early to be able to attend the District Paralympics at PhilSports Complex last November 30, 2002. Present were: DG Efren, Pres. Dante, Sec. Vincent, IPP, Tony, PE Dindo, PP Boy Ong and PD George.

"CENTENNIAL COMMUNITY PROJECTS"
Rotary's Centennial in 2005 provides the ideal opportunity for Rotary clubs to showcase their service projects in 30,000 communities worldwide. All clubs are invited to join in this global effort to demonstrate the remarkable scope and power of Rotary service.
To participate in the program, clubs must register their Centennial Community Project with Rotary International (by 1 January 2003 is encouraged). All projects must be completed by February 2005, Rotary's Centennial month.
To qualify as a Rotary Club Centennial Community Project, projects should meet the following criteria:
- Fulfill a clearly identifiable community need;
- Provide a solution that has measurable results;
- Involve the active participation of Rotarians, rather than
- simply providing funding to another organization; and
- Feature a permanent sign, plaque, or inscription at the project site that identifies both the sponsoring Rotary club and Rotary's Centennial.
Projects that meet these criteria will appear in a special photo display at the 2005 RI Convention, and the sponsoring clubs will receive special recognition. Some projects also will be featured in RI publications and on the RI Web site. In planning Rotary Centennial projects, clubs should consider the most pressing needs of the community and determine highly visible ways to meet those needs. Possible project ideas include constructing or renovating youth centers, playgrounds and other recreational facilities, low-cost housing for homeless people, or spaces for food banks or soup kitchens. You might also consider providing special rooms or additions for local schools or libraries that could also be a site for a Rotary-sponsored tutoring or literacy program. In communities lacking access to healthcare services, think about renovating space to house a clinic or purchasing and equipping a mobile one.
To expand your resources, form partnerships with other neighboring Rotary clubs or local organizations and businesses. Invite your club's partners-in-service � Rotaractors, Interactors, and Rotary Community Corps members � to join in the effort.
Centennial projects offer an opportunity to enhance awareness of Rotary in the community. To maximize the effectiveness of your project, work with the local media to secure coverage throughout its implementation � from groundbreaking through inauguration, if applicable. Learn more about promoting your project to the media.
Other resources that can help you plan and implement your Rotary Club Centennial Community Project include:
- Vocational Service in Your Community (No. 509)
- Communities in Action: A Guide to Project Development (No. 605a)
- A Menu of Service Opportunities (No. 605b)
- World Community Service Handbook (No. 742)
- A Guide to Matching Grants for International Humanitarian Projects (No. 144)
- Community Assistance Program Brochure (No. 093)
- Community Projects Database
