RCMO distributes relief goods to Pateros fire victims
Responding to the needs of the communities it is serving, RCMO immediately gathered resources upon learning of the fire which gutted Barangay Kanluran, Pateros on December 5 that displaced some 150 families. RCMO collected clothes, blankets, mosquito nets and other necessities for distribution to the victims who are still housed at the covered courts in Pateros. Distribution of the goods was held on December 9 by RCMO club members, Rotaractors, Interactors, RCC and Rotakids with the assistance of PP Edgar Castillo, an incumbent Councilor of Pateros. The club still accepts donation for the fire victims. Those who would like to contribute may get in touch with the club officers.

RCMO donated books, seedlings for refo project
Christmas is a time for giving. For RCMO, however,
Christmas could be any day.
In the past weeks, RCMO had been busy sharing the blessings that it had received from various benefactors to its beneficiaries. It donated books to RC Los Banos Makiling for its adopted public school. It also gave an old encyclopedia set to Catanauan Elementary School in Catanauan, Quezon. RCMO also brought on December 8 about 200 books to St. Genevieve School of Pateros which will be used by the school’s Interact Club in its reading and story telling sessions. RCMO also donated 1,000 seedlings of hardwood trees to a Catanauan barangay for use in its reforestation project. RCMO is organizing an RCC in this locality to help in caring for the trees.

The President’s Corner
My dear Fellow Olympians,
We are almost halfway through
December. It means that we are on
our fourth month as a duly
chartered club and our founding anniversary is
just around the bend.
A year ago, our founders were at the crossroads in
Rotary. We had many options to take but in the wee
hours of December 15, having RCMO was the way
that we chose to follow. That has been realized and
now we are together in the long journey of service.
The last four months had been a whirlwind. As we
shake the dust that it has created through the
remaining days of 2010 via our Share-a-Christmas-
Cheer Gift Giving and our Governor's visit, let us put
into our hearts the many things that we need to do for
humanity in the coming months and years even as we
enjoy the festive season of Christmas.
For our Founding Anniversary celebration, it will
be most memorable if all of us can spare some time to be
with the kids and their families whose lives we have
been touching since July. This will be on December 15,
1-3pm at Jose Magsaysay Elementary School. You
may still want to add to the goodies that we are
preparing especially those who have corporate
giveaways. These are all very welcome. Your presence,
of course, cannot be substituted by the material things
that we will be giving them.
On December 21, I appeal for your attendance. I
know that your calendar must be full already, but let
us give Gov. Ed our warmest welcome. We must
remember that he is our Chartering Governor, our
club's father. Filipino tradition tells us that the visit
of a valued family member is always an affair that is
much anticipated. Let us make it his most memorable
Governor's visit.
Through the holidays, may I request you to
recommit to RCMO's endeavors for the second
semester and beyond. PE Jay shall start to prepare for
his term and I will be sharing with him the club‘s
leadership starting January. Let us make it easy for
him to take on the Presidency with our wholehearted
support. I promise to give mine... Please also do... for
PE Jay, for RCMO and Rotary!
Thank you for your love for RCMO and Rotary.
God has been very good to us!
