President On Call 24/7
by Pres. Dindo Santos
We have four Club activities for November: Health Watch on November 16 at the Knights of Columbus/Our Lady of the Abandoned Parish, Drug Abuse Forum at Concepcion High School, Storytelling Contest on November 20, and a TRF lecture during our meeting on November 20.
There are three Zone activities for the month: Slippers donation in Malanday on November 22, Visitation of the Marikina City Jail on November 29 (afternoon), and the Second InterClub Meeting also on November 29 (evening).
In the District, we will have the Family of Rotary Fashion Fellowship Fair (Meteor 4Fs) on November 15, 2003, Saturday, from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, at Riverbanks Center, Marikina City. This is a whole-day Family of Rotary Fellowship event that will feature a variety of activities suited to all the members of a Rotarian Family--father, mother, children, and grandchildren. It will kick off with a motorcade, registration, and ribbon cutting. There will be bead making and cooking demos for the spouses, 80 booths for foods and dry goods (RTW, Gift Items, Fashion Accessories, Shoes, Bags, etc.), mini-fashion show, parlor games, and variety show that will start at 3:00 in the afternoon featuring contracted talents who will do song, dance, comedy, magic, and lots of entertaining numbers and surprises. There will be a kiddie's place for the tots to mingle and play, a massage corner with available masseurs, and a community service area that will provide free blood cholesterol check-up, BP and bone density (Chairman of this is yours truly). Entrance is free to all, and every P200.00 worth of purchase at the fair will be entitled to a raffle ticket for an on-the-spot chance to win a price.
Again, this is a Family of Rotary Fellowship Activity (PP Tony Fidelino is District Chairman of Family of Rotary Committee) where most of the presidents of the Rotary Clubs of the Marikina Zone play a vital role in their own respect. Make it a date for your family and friends. Come one, come all! Bring your Family and Friends and renew old acquaintances, meet new ones, and talk about Rotary in your club, in the zone, and in the district. Don't be left behind in the mainspring of events as they unfold right in our territorial jurisdiction and beloved Marikina. There will be no dull moment for you. This promises to be a very interesting event, with full support from the spouses of Rotarians, and the Family of Rotary, many of who are exhibitors at the fair.
And being The Rotary Foundation Month, the Annual Gift Giving will be on November 22 at Gloria Maris, Greenhills.
Busy as we may seem but November will be through in just a blink of an eye. These are again new opportunities where we can LEND A HAND.

"WORLD INTERACT WEEK: 03-09 NOVEMBER"
Interact is Rotary International's service club for young people ages 14-18. Sponsored by Rotary clubs which provide support and guidance, they are self-governing and self-supporting. Each year, Interact clubs complete at least two community service projects, one of which furthers international understanding and goodwill.
HISTORY OF INTERACT:
Interact, was officially inaugurated on 28 October 1962. For the first time, Rotarians were not just serving youth, but were empowering them to serve in their communities and internationally with their Rotary club sponsors.
Rotary service to youth dates back as early as 1917, when a committee was appointed to study youth service. Two years later, a department dedicated to "Boys' Work" was established and in 1920, the Rotary Club of New York organized Boys' Week, an annual celebration that encouraged patriotism and loyal citizenship in its young participants. Thirteen years later, the program was officially renamed Youth Week in order to incorporate girls.
One of the earliest predecessors to Interact was known as the Ro Club, a service club for high school students. Ro clubs' goals and projects were very similar to those of today's Interact clubs. Yrator Clubs (Rotary spelled backward) for outstanding high school students also were active as early as
1934. Their efforts focused on community activities but did not incorporate the international element that is required of clubs today. In 1939, Pan-American Clubs for primary and secondary school students were proposed as a way to increase international understanding and goodwill. However, without the
official endorsement of Rotary International, the movement eventually fizzled out.
Feeling the need to actively engage youth in community service, Rotary clubs around the world soon began forming youth service clubs based on the ideals, principles, and organization of their own clubs. The Rotary Club of Miami, Fla., USA, sponsored the most influential of these movements, known as Wheel clubs. Although Wheel clubs were not adopted as an official Rotary program, the RI Board decided to research the feasibility of creating a youth service organization for adoption by all Rotary clubs. Before the end of his term in 1960, then-RI President Harold T. Thomas appointed an Ad Hoc Committee on Youth to study the implementation of youth service clubs. Committee Chairman
Charles H. Taylor of Christchurch, New Zealand, played the greatest role in the creation and approval of the program through his insight, leadership, and extensive research. The program was named Interact, a combination of the words
"international" and "action."
On 5 November 1962, within eight days of the official adoption of the Interact program, the first Interact club was chartered at Melbourne High School, Florida, USA. The club's 39 members reflected the universal criteria that all Interactors be male and in the last three years of secondary school. Within one year there were 177 Interact clubs in 24 countries; by October 1964 that number had grown to 450 clubs in 35 countries. Within a few years, Interact began to take on its present form. In 1967, the RI Board opened membership to female members, preceding the admission of females to Rotary clubs by 20 years. During the same year, Interact membership was extended to any student in the last four years of secondary school.
