President's Message by Pres. Dante Verano

It was a riot! That was how to describe the last District Valentine�s Party held at Riverbend Hotel last February 10, 2003. It was indeed a very successful event with RJ and Friends Live band playing to heart desire of all Rotarians. The Band drove everyone to the dance floor which is never seen before in any district activity. Practically there was no empty space left to join the beat. Everyone enjoyed the music of their generations of the 60�s and 70�s. It was fun and it was a Rotary Activity at its best. I would like to thank Sec. Vincent & Eula, Rtn. Benjie & Julie, Rtn. Ronie & Liza, PP Roland & Marivic, PP Flor & Vising who join me and Noemi to this activity. I hope we could have the same vibrant moment with our club tonight, our Club Valentine�s Party.

The Inner Wheel and spouses have decorated and prepare well for tonight�s Club Valentine Party. Please enjoy it, have fun and celebrate the Month of Love. Maybe this also our way of practicing the RI Theme: Sow the Seeds of Love, by getting close with one another thru fellowship.

Talking of Sowing the Seeds of Love, I would like to extend my warm congratulation to the newly wed couple, PE Dindo and Sps. Cecil. I believe their marriage was very timely in this Month of Love. And if we ever missed the presence of our PE Dindo, I think we have to excuse him for he is practically doing the RI Theme, �Sowing the Seeds of Love� we hope it will be very productive to the new couple.

The DisCon 2003 is fast approaching and may I remind again everybody to register now. Sec. Vincent or PP Boy Ong is willing to accept your payment anytime. Anyone who wishes to reserve a room at Edsa Shangri-La before the actual DisCon date can now direct your inquiry to Dir. Val Barcinal who will gladly assist you.

Fellow Rotarians, as we moved on to the final semester of our Rotary Year, we still have many things to accomplish. I believe no task is so great that cannot be accomplished with your total commitment and support. As I used to say�I love you all�


Secretary's Corner by Sec. Vincent Santos

Last Saturday, February 8, 2003, the District held a Vocational Fellowship Forum at the Riverbend Hotel. Attendees from our club were District Governor Efren, Pres. Dante, PP Joe Lee, PP Boy and IP Dindo.

In celebration of the upcoming Valentines Day, the District held its party at the Riverbend Hotel last Monday, February 10, 2003. No other than the famous RJ and Friends provided the music for that evening�s affair. The event turned out to be a big success. Rotarians and guests came in their retro attire. The Riverbend Hotel was full packed and bursting with gyrating Rotarians and spouses dancing to the music of the 60�s and 70�s. It was like a travel back in time where everybody twisted and rocked like teenagers. The evening was full of energy with almost everybody with two legs jostled their way towards the dance floor in non-stop dancing. There were lots of raffle prizes donated by generous Rotarians with a colored TV given by Gov. Efren and Sps. Pam as the grand prize. Rotarians from our club were DG Efren and Pam, PP Roland and Marivic who won the best dressed couple award with their authentic 60�s attire, Maring, PP Flor and Vising, PP Boy and Cory, Pres. Dante and Noemi, Sec. Vincent and Eula, Julie and Benjie, Ronie and Lisa. Spouses Julie and Eula also received the best dancers award.

Congratulations and Best Wishes to IP Dindo and Sps. Cecil who had their memorable wedding last February 11, 2003.
