Thank you, Father,

for the gift of Rotary and each other.

we give thanks for the pleasure of gathering

together for this occasion.

We give thanks for this food prepared

by loving hands.

We give thanks for life, the freedom to enjoy it all,

and all other blessings.

As we partake of this food, we pray for health and

strength to carry on and try to live as You would have

us. This we ask in the name of Christ, Our Heavenly

Father.

Amen.

Hello all and welcome to our celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival,

or as we call it, the Mooncake and Dice game fellowship. A big thank

you to the spouses committee for organizing this event.

We had a great speaker last week, and it was interesting to hear about

the work of the Philippine Band of Mercy and I thank all who at-

tended. Their mission matches our district thrust of assisting persons’

with disabilities, and the MOA we signed ceremonially puts us in

support of this endeavor. Thank you to Sec. Edwin for reviewing the

final MOA, which we will give to PBM soon.

Thank you too to Dir. Ernie and Dir. Josh for helping represent the

club in our friendship visit to our sister clubs RC Pudu, and RC Kow-

loon Golden Mile. It was very refreshing to meet our sister clubs and less formal surroundings,

and understand their efforts to provide service above self.

At Pudu, Pres. Daisy, PE Patrick, Sec. Heng, and Dir. Elaine, and IPP Alex hosted us in their

usual inimitable style. IPP Alex was justifiably proud of the 9 awards their club received, but

one project particularly stands out. Their tri-club project on training women of the Thonburi

Women’s Correctional Institute was a cooperative effort between themselves, RC Dhonburi

(Thailand) and RC Singapore West. PE Patrick mentioned that they hope to expand this pro-

ject to five clubs next year, and there is a feeler out to out club. Paging PE John? They also

hope to do an international food festival sometime in November. More details on their club can

be found on http://www.alexchanglaw.com/PRC-DistrictAwards-2013_2014.html. Like us,

they have transitioned to digital distribution, and it makes for an interesting story.

The RC KGM visit was more low-key, as Dir. Ernie and myself chose to come as visiting Ro-

tarians. We were entertained by the informal nature of their meeting, and their speaker on

“Using Linked In to promote your business.” Many visiting Rotarians were present (this being

Hong Kong after all) and Pres. Mazhar and I had a great chat on our mutual challenges, and our

mutual projects.

Unfortunately, I cannot fit all into this short space, but as the Heraclitus says, “Nothing is per-

manent except change.” As we face it, so do our international sister clubs.

As a postscript, PP Albert is inviting all to attend the visit of PP Shuichi Shimoida of RC Kiryu

West to our MPNAG Culinary Center tomorrow at about 9 AM. Do come.

We do have a lot going on as we strive to “LIGHT UP ROTARY.” Keep in step by checking

Cheers!

Greetings to my fellow Rotarians! We are on our twelfth

meeting of our Club in RY 2014-2015. Today, we celebrate

the Mooncake Festival through a Dice Game. We thank our

very generous Pres. Gion Fabella for opening the doors of

his home and hosting today’s meeting. In case you are join-

ing us after a long break from the Club, a warm welcome

back. We are glad that you joined us tonight for some fun

and merriment.

PAST-PRESENT-FUTURE Pres. Gion and I atteneded the Public Speaking Seminar last

30 August 2014 hosted by the Rotary Club of San Juan led

by Best Class President Rose Caoc. The Guest Speaker was Past District Governor

of the Toastmasters International, the very energetic Ms. Baby Luat, DTM.

As Rotarians, we will find ourselves in situations where we will need to speak to

people regarding who we are and our purpose of being as Rotarians. There may be

instances when we are called to say a few words extemporaneously. A simple piece

of advice. DON’T PANIC. There were many things discussed during the Seminar

but one of the easiest mnemonics which I remembered by heart is P-P-F, which

stands for Past, Present, and Future. In case you are called to speak with only 1-2

minutes prep time, just go to a topic you know best and discuss it based on a

chronological sequence. Talk about how things used to be, how things are now, and

how you would like things to be in a year or two. I used to be a Toastmaster myself

and this works for me all the time. Do try it one of these days, even in front of a

mirror. After all, practice makes perfect.

Incidentally, the second lecture in the JRU Executive Lecture Series will be on Fri-

day 19 September 2014 at 2 PM in JRU. Guest lecturer is Mr. Nelson M. Aspe,

Deputy Commissioner for Operation, Bureau of Internal Revenue. This is a joint

project between Jose Rizal University and Rotary Club of Mandaluyong.

CLUB REMINDERS

RC Taipei Northwest, Taiwan (D-3480) Induction is scheduled on 26 September

2014. Let any of your Club Officers or the Secretariat know if you are interested to

join the RC Mandaluyong contingent for the trip.

Greetings, Fellow Rotarians!

A gentle reminder to keep your dues

current.

Our current project, the MPNAG culinary laboratory is

in full swing. Even though the project is being funded

by matching grants of our sister clubs abroad, our club would be contribut-

ing substantially as well in order to make this project successful.

In this regard, I would like to remind everybody to update their financial

obligations with our club so that no special assessment would be needed in

funding our projects. Of course, any additional contribution from our fellow

members are most welcome. You can approach me or our president anytime.

In order to increase the awareness among ourselves to settle our accounts,

individual statement of accounts will soon be distributed. Please feel free to

contact your humble club treasurer or our club secretariat should you have

concerns regarding your statement balances.

Rest assure that starting next week, I will be giving you weekly update of our

club finances as well as special announcement on financial matters. It is

hoped that it will create an awareness among our members to continue their

support with our club not only physically, but financially as well.

More power to our club!

The District Assembly 2014 Handover Ceremony and Induction was held at Marikina City Hall

Lobby, Marikina City. This event hosted by RAC Marikina West sponsored by RC Marikina

West and co-hosted by RAC Metro Marikina sponsored by RC Metro Marikina. The event was

attended by more than 30 clubs in the RID 3800.

On the first part, the first speaker was Marikina City Vice Mayor Cadiz and talks about the

types of leadership. This talk makes me identify what kind of leader I am. Next, the District

Governor Marilou Co that talks about the Ten Ways to Success. I was inspired by her talk and I

will use this as my guide to become successful in the future. Then the handover ceremony fol-

lows where the accomplishments of IPDRR were presented. Also, PP Manny Tamayo gave us

an introduction to the Rotaract.

Then the induction and installation of all Best Class Presidents (BCPs) and District Rotaract

Representative (DRR) follows. DRR was inducted by DG Marilou Co, and the BCPs was in-

ducted by DRR that means the start of our duties and responsibilities as leaders of our clubs.
