LIVELIHOOD TRAINING and SKILLS DEVELOPMENT GRADUATION
President On Call 24/7
by Pres. Dindo Santos
In the second specific statement of �The Object of Rotary� which relates to Vocational Service, all Rotarians are called upon to encourage and foster, among others, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations. This objective makes Rotary very unique among the other service and civic organizations. In order therefore to highlight the importance that Rotary attaches to this objective, the month of October has been designated as Vocational Month for the entire Rotary world. It is the time when we Rotarians, individually or collectively as a club, zone, or district give emphasis on all worthy vocations, as we have exemplified.
First, we gave due recognition to Mrs. Nory L. Silverio, the winner of our 27th Teacher Award, and Search for the Most Outstanding Public Elementary School Teacher held last September 17, 2003. Last Monday, during the Marikina City Flag Raising Ceremonies, she was feted and honored together with the other seven most outstanding public servants in the search conducted by the eight clubs of the Marikina zone for different vocation categories. They will represent the zone to the District 3800 Search for the Most Outstanding Public Servants on October 18, 2003.
Second, after 2 months of extensive livelihood training every afternoon, our modules on Dressmaking and Tailoring has come to an end. Tonight, our trainees will receive their respective certificate of attendance. Actually this is not the end but just the beginning of a new chapter in their quest for living. We hope that they will be able to use their newly acquired skills and succeed in this vocation. During the Governor�s Visit, Gov. Tony encouraged us to further improve our Livelihood program. He wished us not to stop by just giving the training but look for a job placement for the graduates. He stressed that with the other 71 Clubs or more than 2500 Rotarians in the District, it is very easy to find a market for the products they can produce, and help improve the quality of life in our community.
Our other projects under Vocational Service are the following: Career Guidance Orientation which is scheduled on February 2004 for the third year high school in Concepcion High School; putting up a 4 Way Test Marker at the fa�ade of the building before the end of the year, and classification talks for Vocational/Rotary Awareness�our way of LENDing A HAND to dignify all worthy and useful vocation.

Governor�s Visit. What a relief! That was the word that first came out from President Dindo Santos after our One on One Meeting with Governor Tony Puyat together with DS Ferdi Fuentes, DDS Vic Buencamino, DDS James Dee, and DDG Tonipi Parungao. President Dindo may be having several sleepless nights before that actual confrontation. That meeting was cordial and very friendly. All our plans and objectives were presented brilliantly by DDG Tonipi Parungao. President Dindo did not have a hard time answering queries from the Governor. I was joined with PE Kiko Pe Benito and Dir. Celso Cruz during this special meeting with the Governor. That night PE Kiko did a good job as master of ceremonies. We were all entertained with the �energetic gyration� by the group spouses who presented a special dance number. In his message, Governor Tony Puyat congratulated our club first for our extensive and comprehensive list of classification; second for being the second biggest club in the district and number one in number of projects that support the District. He encourages us to continue what we are doing in supporting smaller clubs in our zone. He recognizes our leadership and examples we are doing in the zone. Lastly he congratulated us in our prudent way of handling our meager resources in the operation of our club and wished our continuous success.
Kalikasan�Alagaan! It is a simple environmental project involving our RCC Bagong Silang, �Kalikasan�Alagaan!� include a lecture on care for the environment, waste management capped with a tree planting.

Rotary Information

"VOCATIONAL SERVICE: IT�S HISTORY"
Rotary's emphasis on vocational service has its roots in the founding of the organization in 1905. And the use of the classification principle as guideline assures that each club has among its members a cross-section of a community's business and professional population. The second part of the Object of Rotary calls for Rotarians to apply high ethical standards in their businesses and professions, recognize the worthiness of all useful occupations, and to consider their own occupations as opportunities to serve society.
In 1943, Rotarians were provided with a tool to help them achieve their vocational service goals when the RI Board of Directors voted to make The 4-Way Test an official component of the vocational service ideal. The test gave Rotarians a way to assess whether their personal and business dealings were being conducted with truth, fairness, goodwill, and decency. For the first 80-plus years of Rotary's history, the second Avenue of Service (vocational service) was an area that focused on personal contributions that Rotarians could make within their own workplaces. Increasingly, however, clubs began to expand the definition of vocational service by organizing events such as career seminars and vocational training workshops. So, in 1987, the RI Vocational Service Committee was called together for the first time in 40 years to redefine the second Avenue of Service. The committee created, and the RI Board adopted, new committee structures and determined that vocational service was now the responsibility of individual Rotarians and clubs within the workplace and the community.
In 1989, the Council on Legislation adopted the Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and Professions. This declaration spelled out the high ethical standards referred to in the Object of Rotary, and it gave Rotarians another tool for gauging their own professional ethics as well as the ethical standards they hoped to encourage through vocational service projects. Vocational service evolved further in the 1990s with two new opportunities for Rotarians to share their professional skills. 1) In 1992, the Rotary Volunteers program was brought under the umbrella of vocational service. 2) And in 1993, the International Vocational Contact Groups program was merged with World Fellowship Activities to form a new program called Rotary Fellowships.
