from the
governor My 100 Peacemaker Presidents. Why did I call them Peacemakers? Peacemaker means one who makes peace by reconciling parties at variance with distinguished courage and ability, admired for brave deeds and noble qualities. I was not wrong after all for calling them Peacemakers. With their achievements towards saving lives and providing hopes to many, plus their distinguished strength of character, they truly deserve to be called Peacemakers. They are not looking for fame, never sought out the limelight. They are ordinary people toiling in obscurity but doing extraordinary things, doing peace through service. They truly are my Peacemakers.

Speech delivered at the 29th DISCON 2013 12 April 2013, Sofitel Philippine Plaza Hotel, Manila
T
he purpose of the district conference is to advance the Object of Rotary through fellowship, inspirational addresses, and the discussion of Rotary-related matters. The event not only showcases successful district and club activities but also highlights Rotary programs. Our host club, the Rotary Club of Metro Olongapo headed by President Joel V. Alviar, our Organizing Committee chaired by PP Rael Ortega and our Training Team headed by PDG Jess Nicdao made sure that all of us will have an experience of a lifetime. This year's conference comes at a time when hope seems so hard to come by especially for our country and its people but now looking at all of you, my Peacemaker Teammates and fellow Rotarians, we can find means to be hopeful. In this time, despite some gains we achieved in our economy, when we are still seeing the results of greed and excesses, it is such a relief to know that there are PEACEMAKERS among us. People, who care more for others than they do for themselves. People who achieves peace by providing the basic needs of of poor communities like clean water, health and literacy. Our District Tainer, PDG Jess Nicdao and I are just so lucky to have gathered one of the best District Team ever assembled of Assistant Governors and District Officers. After the team training at the Holiday Inn in Clark, I was almost sure the work of accomplishing our goals will be easier. Today and tomorrow, we will hear from people who we consider Peacemakers in their own fields of excellence because of their magnificent work for our people and the country. Fr. Jerry Orbos and Fatima Soriano, our GSE Team Member to Florida, USA, Ms. Kat Gomez and the famous TV Broadcaster and host, Mr. Boy Abunda, who will all share with us their experiences with life, people which I'm sure will motivate us more to help those in need. Of course, we have invited the new elected RI Director from D3830, Philippines, PDG Guilller Tumangan, who will share with us his plan and the future of Rotary.
From the Governor, continued/ We are also lucky to have in our midst a good friend and the RI President's Representative, PDG Al Purwa, who will convey the message of President Sakuji Tanaka. The last 10 months saw all of our clubs doing magnificent works to address the thrust of RI President Sakuji Tanaka by focusing on our Rotary emphases of water, health and hunger and literacy. And we did many projects to address this goal that benefitted the poor and the underprivileged in our communities. I've been a Rotarian for many years now and in all those years especially during this time that I've been your Governor, I have been a witnessed to the problems of people around us especially the children. I also have witnessed how all of us during the last 10 months have made several efforts and projects to achieve our District goals and provide the services for our communities. But we still have 2 months to go, and this is where I can depend on the PEACEMAKERS to do the job, do the job well and achieve our goals up to the last minute. My friends, in the last 10 months, our clubs conducted feeding programs for community and school-based malnourished children. This year, we have conducted feeding programs in more than 150 Feeding Centers serving over 15,000 malnourished children funded by club funds and Matching Grant funds.

We all know how important nutrition is to the education of children. While it is wise to teach a man how to fish, it may make more sense to feed him first before you teach him anything. The poor children in our communities are so emaciated from fatigue and hunger; it is next to impossible to teach them anything. Many of these feeding activities are still ongoing all throughout the District. Many communities around the district are still without clean and safe water including public schools. Out thrust is to ensure access to safe, adequate water supply and sanitation. This Rotary year there are no less than 100 water wells that were built with funds provided by the clubs, service partners and Matching Grants worth over $60,000. Other projects include water purification systems and toilets for schools and public places. We also were able to distribute the water purifiers from a District Grant during the time of IPDG Digna Ragasa.

RIPR PDG Al Purwa Rev Fr Jerry Orbos & Fatima Soriano
Many children are not in school because their families cannot afford their fees. For this reason, many clubs have sponsored scholarship programs and provided educational equipments. One club donated a 3-classroom building in Pampanga with the support of another Foundation. While many countries enjoy the benefits of free medical treatments, the poor in this country do not. Most of the clubs spent a significant amount of their budget and conducted at least 2 Medical Missions. Some had more than 5 missions. Very prominent are projects for cleft palate and prosthetic patients that have benefitted over 200 patients in Pampanga in partnership with the Kapampangan Development Foundation and Operation SMILE, shunt surgeries for hydrocephalus children in Baguio through the effortfs of PP Dr. SJ of RC Baguio South Other clubs provided sight and hearing impaired facilities. The funds and Matching Grants acquired by the clubs will keep many people, especially children alive and healthy as they grow. Many clubs have conducted different projects as their contribution to save mother earth that include tree-planting in several sites, clean up of waterways, rivers and sea shores, advocacy on energy savings, among others.

From the Governor, continued/ Livelihood projects were conducted by a number of clubs that included skills development and training, malunggay and other plants seedling farms, vocational courses and many others to help the poor in their struggle to provide for their families. Of course, I'll will never forget the immediate response that most of the clubs made in the aftermath of the recent “HABAGAT”. Clubs provided relief goods, food, clothings, blankets and other necessities for survival. We also supported the efforts of ShelterBox in their deployment, particularly in Pampanga. Each of us relies on the good deeds of others, whether we are rich or poor. Fr. Pupkowski, a Jesuit priest said it right. “We all warm ourselves by fires we did not build, we all drink from wells we did not dig”. This is a remin-der that no matter how blessed we are in our lives, much of what we have has been put in place by those who came before us. We are all stewards in this world. We came into this world with District Trainor PDG Jess Nicdao nothing and we will leave this world with nothing.

PP GLO & PDG VITT
Rotary give us the special opportunity to share our blessings; our time, talent and resources, with those in desperate. Whether we are on a simple medical mission, a feeding program, a livelihood project, a center for abandoned children or providing water wells for potable water, the message we offer is one of great hope and meaning. Let us remember those struggling below us – people who did not have the same opportunity and the same blessings. Let us continue to lift the burdens of the poor through our individual efforts and more importantly through our collective efforts so that HOPE, no matter how dim or distant, may never vanish from sight.

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER April 2013
When I was elected Governor, I prayed to God to help me become a good leader and provide me the wisdom to inspire the Rotarians, especially my presidents, to work hard to achieve our goals. I told my presidents that if we work with all our hearts and minds focused on our goals, we will be successful.
From the Governor, continued/ We conducted our PETS in the beautiful island of Boracay. I believe this one of the key factors why the friendships and the camaraderie among the presidents and the district officers have become so close and personal resulting in cooperation among the clubs and the district. We spent so much time together at the airport, in the airplane and in fellowships. After nearly 10 months , we now have 94 ACTIVE Rotary Community Corps, surpassing the highest recorded number of 89 RCCs. Significantly, RCC Baraos of RC San Fernando LU Inc supplies 50% of Baguio City's broom requirements. Thanks to our RCC Chair, PP Nasser Pangilinan They continue to provide support to our Rotary Clubs in community projects and missions. I am also happy to report that we now have 70 ACTIVE Rotaract Clubs and 84 INTERACT Clubs. On MEMBERSHIP Our emphasis was always on quality rather than quantity. I always tell the clubs that we need many more Rotarians but we need many more GOOD Rotarians. We started the year with 100 clubs and 2,564 Rotarians, we now have 101 clubs and 2,822 Rotarians. With an increase of 258 NEW Members, our District has the highest growth in abosolute numbers. Pres. Sakuji Tanaka asked us for a 10% growth and with our net increase in membership, our growth rate is now 10.06%. This is actually a far cry from the world's growth rate of 1.31%.
On TRF Our original target contribution to the Rotary Foundation is $150,000 but during PETS and DISTAS, the commitment made by the Presidents through the Assistant Governors was $240,000. After 9 months, total contributions now stand at $ 150,000 which is still a far cry from our commitment. We have more than 2 months to raise more money. I believe we still have time to hit our target of $240,000. The question is: Can we do it? I am confident my peacemeakers can do it because many Rotarians in our District are now made aware of the programs and projects of the Foundation, how their contributions are managed and spent. We have several new Sustaining Members and have so far 119 Rotarians who donated $1,000 each, 65 of them are new Paul Harris Fellows. We also have 11 new Major Donors in the persons of PDG Owens and Nila Torres of RC Central Pangasinan, PDG Mo and PP Irene Libunao of RC San Fabian, PP Tony and PP May Shilton of RC Mabalacat, PP Bruce and Carmen McTavish of RC Clark Centennial, Mr. Angelo, Jr. and Lolita Hizon of RC Villa de Bacolor and PP Lolita Co of RC Northern Tarlac. And for the first time we have 4 new 2nd –Level Major Donors, PDG Jess and Mimi Nicdao and yours truly and spouse Evelyn. While we have already contributed nearly $150,000,we were also able to get almost $400,000 in Matching Grants during the first 9 months.
With this number, we are still the BIGGEST DISTRICT in the Philippines. Today our District also have the highest number of women in the Philippines at 719 representing 25.48% of our membership. Our average members per club have increased from 25.64 in July 2012 to now 27.75. Clubs below 25 members have gone down from 54 in July 2012 to now only 45 clubs. We welcome the newest member of our family: Rotary Club of Urdaneta Mid City, 25 members, organized by our DGSR Edwin Aguirre of the Rotary Club of Dagupan and headed by Charter President Marife Mangoba.

From the Governor, continued/ This year, we sent our Group Study Exchange Team headed by PP Raul Peralta, of RC Freeport Zone together with four (4) outstanding team members to D6980 in Florida, U.S.A. From the report submitted to us, Gov. Rick Baines said:
kat gomez related the “GSE experience,” the fun, the rides, the sightseeings, their cultural presentation at D6980’s district conference cruise to Bahamas...
“I think I can honestly say that the D3790 GSE team was the best team we have ever had. We have been fortunate in having some great ones but your members just seem to embrace our members better. It was a pleasure working with you.” Congratulations are in order for PP Raul Peralta and his team for representing well our District. It is unfortunate that the original counterpart GSE Team from D6980 may not be able to come to our District because of the stringent requirements of the Medical School where the members are senior students. We are still hopeful that their District can organize a new team before May 2013. The many milestones we have achieved and more are part of my vision and as Karen Ravn wrote in her poem; Only as high as I reach can I grow. Only as far as I seek can I go. Only as deep as I look can I see. Only as much as I dream can I be…. When we conduct our missions, provide help and hope for the poor, there is an outpouring of appreciation and “thank you” from our beneficiaries for all our work. While spending time with the poor, we have been inspired by people who have experienced great loss and sufferings. We have found out that many of us long to live lives that exist beyond the material leaving a legacy of hope in our wakes. May we always find the PEACEMAKER inside us by reaching out to others and in turn find that we are the ones being helped if we are to satisfy this need within us to be of service. This, to me is the greatest motivational factor that allows you and me to work and work very hard.

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER April 2013
From the Governor, continued/ After my term ends in June this year I would like to see a Rotary District 3790 that is strong. I believe we can sustain this because Rotary stems from our innate culture of wanting to help others. In our country, especially in the countryside where our District lies, you find this in the 'bayanihan' spirit that has been handed down from generation to generation. You see this in our hospitable nature, our friendly faces and in our willingness to please and lend a hand. We love being in the company of others. All these translate to a solid foundation for “Pangarap ng mga Bata ngayong Pasko” project beneficiaries Rotary Service. Many club presidents today feel that their term is over and are about to hang their gloves. Not my PEACEMAKER presidents and Teammates. While others watch the clock, my PEACEMAKERS race the clock and they will work hard until their term expires in June. Let us find inspiration in the words of Tom Brokaw, “I don't think there is any richer reward in life than helping someone. You cannot measure it in money or fame or anything else. But if we were not put here for anything else but to help each other get at the through life, I think that is a very GISELLE honorable existence.”

3790 DISCON 2013 summed up According to Rotary, “The purpose of the district conference is to provide opportunities for networking, inspirational addresses, and discussions of Rotary-related matters.” This and much more took place on April 12-13 when DG Tony brought his DISCON to Manila and the magnificent Hotel Sofitel. The RI President’s Rep, PDG Aloysius Purwa of Bali showed that he is both worthy of the position and also able to enjoy himself on the dance floor. We were fortunate to have the new RI Director, Guiller Tumangan, present at the DISCON who showed he was not to be outdone when the entertainment began. DG Tony held the DISCON in Manila instead of in D 3790 territory so that its members could experience the excitement of the Philippines most legendary entertainers. These included Giselle Sanchez, Vina Morales, the Metamorphosis Dance Group, Boy Abunda, and Rico Puno. The entertainment made of a nice sandwich between the Rotary addresses.

from RI president
Dear fellow Rotarians,
R
otary is an international organization, and when I travel for Rotary, I usually speak in English. But it has been a long time since my last English exam, and when I am working in Evanston, I always have a Japanese interpreter. It is important to understand every word of the meetings, and it is important as well that the staff understand what I am saying.
It was a new experience for me to speak Japanese to a group, and then hear my words spoken in English. Even now, I find it interesting. I hear new ways of expressing myself in English, and I also have a small glimpse of what it must be like not to speak Japanese. But perhaps the most interesting moment came early on in my year as presidentelect, when I was in a meeting with Rotary staff members. To be sure that we could communicate well, I had with me a Japanese interpreter. I spoke in Japanese, and she interpreted what I said into English. We had a pleasant and productive meeting. After it was over, one member of the staff came up to me and asked, “There is one word I heard you use many times in Japanese. I would like to know what it means. What is the word ichiban?” I told her that ichiban in Japanese does not convey any philosophy or complicated thought. It simply means to be the best. But it made me think. Of all the words I had used in Japanese, of all the words she had heard over and over, this was the word she had heard the most. I did not realize I had used it so often. But for me, that one word, ichiban, is essential to how I feel about my job as a Rotarian, and as president of RI. For me, Rotary service means being ichiban. It means doing your best, and being the best you can be. It means working as hard as you can – not for yourself, but for others. It means achieving as much as you can, to make other people’s lives better. In the dictionary, ichiban means “best.” But in Rotary, “best” means something different. It means bringing Service Above Self into all of your thinking. It means looking at your own effort, not in terms of what it costs you, but in terms of what it can give. In this way, we are inspired to do so much more. It is our job to see to it that our Rotary service is ichiban – so that we do the most we can to build Peace Through Service.

Wilfrid J.Wilkinson Foundation Trustee Chair 2012-2013
will you do your part?
W
hen I was RI president, I said Rotary is a love story in which people come together in fellowship, and which results in doing good in the world. During my years in Rotary, I have witnessed over and over again how communities and individuals benefit because of Rotary activities. These activities, to a great extent, result from exchanges about community needs identified during club meetings. The month of April is a perfect example of what Rotarians and Rotary clubs can do to help make a better world. This month we celebrate National Volunteer Week, the International Day of Mine Awareness, World Health Day, and Earth Day, and each of these recognitions ties in with one of our six areas of focus. This tells me that every Rotary club member has a part to play as an effective volunteer in these important observances. Furthermore, we owe it to our community and the world to tell our story, to make the world aware of our efforts. One way to achieve this is by supporting your Rotary regional magazine, particularly in April, which is also Magazine Month. So how does all this relate to our Rotary Foundation? Well, very few initiatives don’t require funding. Your Foundation is often able to help, whether it’s with a district grant or a much larger global grant. Your contributions to the Foundation provide a potential source of funding that can help a club’s members do good in the world. My goal this year is to announce at the international convention in Lisbon, Portugal, that it is estimated that every Rotarian gave something in the 2012-13 year. Can I count on you?.

grants
Global grants Rotary Foundation Global Grants support large international activities with sustainable high-impact outcomes in one or more of the six areas of focus and have a long-term impact. Clubs and districts can either create their own activities or sponsor packaged global grants that are developed by The R o t a r y Foundation in cooperation with its strategic partners.
Club- and district-developed global grants Clubs and districts can use District Designated Fund (DDF) or cash contributions to fund global grant activities and get matching funds from the Foundation. When developing activities, clubs and districts should consider the following: Ÿ Activities must be sustainable and measurable. For example: ? How will a project benefit the selected community in the future, after the grant has been spent? How will a scholar's studies support one or more of the areas of focus? How will a vocational training team project support capacity building, either for the team or the benefiting community? Ÿ Activities should stem from real community needs. Community needs assessment tools are available to help identify community needs. Ÿ Global grants must be sponsored by two Rotary clubs or districts: a host partner in the country where the activity takes place and an international partner outside the country. Both partners must be Future Vision pilot members. Ÿ Both partners must be actively involved in the planning and implementing of all global grants. This includes maintaining communication and developing plans for the shared responsibilities in all of the grant's stages. Funding The minimum award amount from the World Fund for a global grant, regardless of activity type, is US$15,000, which results in a minimum total financing of $30,000. The World Fund award is based on a 100 percent match of DDF ($1.00:$1.00) or a 50 percent match of cash contributions ($0.50:$1.00). Business cycle All Rotary Foundation Global Grant applications will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. A twostep online application process is accessible via Member Access . Additional documentation for scholarships and vocational training teams must be completed by non-Rotarian participants; the grant sponsors will upload these items electronically to the application. Proposal For club- and district-developed global grants, Rotarians will submit a brief online proposal before submitting a formal application. The proposal should provide an overview of the grant activity's objectives and demonstrate how the activities fit within an area of focus. This process is designed to increase the acceptance rate of grant applications. Application Once a proposal has been accepted, Rotarians will submit an online application that provides the Foundation with more detailed grant activity and budget information. (Depending on the award amount or complexity of the project, the Foundation may request additional details.) Applications requesting a World Fund award (match) of more than US$100,000 will be reviewed by the Trustees quarterly. The following dates will be used to determine at which Trustee meeting applications will be reviewed: Ÿ Complete applications received by 1 June will be reviewed by the Trustees in September; Ÿ 1 October will be reviewed in January; 1 December will be reviewed in March; Ÿ 1 February will be reviewed in May

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER April 2013
Payment Once an application has been approved by the Foundation, both sponsors have authorized the agreement, and all associated cash contributions have been received, the Foundation will issue a payment. Reporting Reports showing measurable success of the grant activity will be due to the Foundation every 12 months from the first issued payment. A final report is due when the grant funds have been completely spent and the objectives of the activity have been met. Types of activities Global grants support a variety of activities based on the needs of the benefiting communities or participants. All grant-funded activity must follow the eligibility requirements in the Terms and Conditions for Rotary Foundation District Grants and Global Grants (pilot version) . The grant structure is designed to allow clubs and districts more flexibility in creating grants that will further the mission of The Rotary Foundation within the areas of focus. Humanitarian projects: Global grants may be used to fund humanitarian projects, provided that they Support the goals of one or more of the areas of focus Produce measurable outcomes in the benefiting community Achieve results that can be sustained after the grant funds have been expended Have been developed in conjunction with the benefiting community to address their most pressing needs Seek to address community needs in an integrated manner
Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ
Scholarships: Global grants may be used to provide funding for academic studies provided that they Ÿ Fund graduate-level study that relates to one or more of the areas of focus Ÿ Fund studies for a term of one to four academic years Ÿ Sponsor the academic studies of an individual traveling from the international sponsor district to the host
sponsor district Vocational training opportunities: Global grants also may support vocational training teams, which are groups of professionals traveling abroad to either learn more about their profession or teach local professionals about a particular field. They Ÿ May build the capacity of either the team itself or a specific benefiting community Ÿ May be carried out in conjunction with a humanitarian project or scholarship Ÿ May be multivocational but must share a common purpose in support of the selected area of focus Ÿ Must consist of a minimum of one Rotarian team leader and three non-Rotarian team members with no maximum limit of participants Ÿ Have no restrictions on participant age or length of time for training Ÿ Permit one or more teams to travel under each grant The most successful and sustainable Rotary service tends to fall within one of the following six areas: Ÿ Peace and conflict prevention/ resolution Ÿ Disease prevention and treatment Ÿ Water and sanitation Ÿ Maternal and child health Ÿ Basic education and literacy Ÿ Economic and community development

May I please remind all of you to please follow up your respective clubs on the subject contributions. As I reported during the DISCON 2013, we are way-way below our target, (US$90,000 to go), in contributions to the foundation, and most specially to the Polio Plus, not even half of the 101 clubs have remitted their contribution to the same. We still have up to May 15, 2013 to get the much needed funds to reach our goal of US$240,000, and US$200/club for Polio. May I look forward to your support, in getting in touch with your respective PeaceMaker presidents and request their cooperation in meeting out Rotary Foundation goal. Thank you for your immediate action on the above request.

District 3790, RI Dear Governor Bautista, On behalf of the Trustees, thank you for participating in The Rotary Foundation (TRF) grants programs to serve communities in need. I am writing to update you on the world reporting analysis conducted in April 2013. The analysis is performed on a quarterly basis to track each district’s compliance with reporting requirements for Rotary Foundation grant projects. I am happy to inform you that District 3790 was 82% up-to-date with reporting requirements for grants sponsored by the district and its clubs as of the April 2013 analysis. The Trustees rely on district leaders to ensure that stewardship guidelines are being upheld worldwide and they thank you for your efforts. We recognize the hard work involved to maintain this level of compliance and encourage your district and its clubs to continue your good work. At the time the analysis was conducted, District 3790 had 22 grants in paid, funded, and reported status. Please see the table at the end of the letter for the list of grants (information included in the table is up-to-date as of the date of analysis). We encourage you to work with the clubs in your district to ensure that reports are submitted for any overdue grants. Over the next few days, TRF will be sending report reminder letters for any grants for which it has been 18 months or more since the last payment or report date. You will be copied on these letters for any grants in your district. For updated grant statuses or more detailed information, please contact the TRF grant coordinator listed below for each grant number.

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER April 2013
COUNCIL on LEGISLATION Delegates from Rotary’s 532 districts gathered in downtown Chicago 21-26 April to consider changes to the policies that govern Rotary International and its member clubs.
R
epresentatives concluded the 2013 Council on Legislation Friday, where they approved a US$1-a-year increase in per capita dues, removed limits on e-clubs, and changed the name of the Fifth Avenue of Service to Youth Service. "It has been a pleasure for me to serve you as chair and work with you this week on the legislation before the 2013 Council on Legislation," Council Chair John Germ said. "You have come with energy and thoughtfulness, and you have represented your districts well." During the final day of deliberations Friday, the council rejected several resolutions that would have asked the RI Board of Directors to grant official recognition to programs that serve a range of different age groups, including EarlyAct, KidAct, and ElderAct. They approved resolutions asking the Board to consider allowing grandchildren of Rotarians to be eligible for Rotary Foundation programs, and to waive the rules for Rotary grants so that family member of Rotarians affected by a natural disaster would be eligible. During the week, the delegates considered more than 170 pieces of legislation that addressed the policies that govern Rotary International and its member clubs. The council is held every three years. The council approved a US$1-a-year increase in per capita dues that clubs pay to Rotary International, starting in 2014-15. The increase was proposed by the RI Board based on a five-year financial forecast presented to the Board last week and shared with delegates on Sunday.

GOVERNOR’S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER April 2013
The Council action raises Rotary clubs' annual per capita dues paid to RI to $54 in 2014-15, $55 in 201516, and $56 in 2016-17. Dues for 2013-14 are $53, and they have increased $1 a year for the past three years. In other action during the week, delegates: * Approved a measure creating the office of vice governor, who would fill in if the governor becomes unable to serve. The vice governor would be selected by the district's nominating committee from among the district's past governors. * Increased the number of clubs that can take part in pilot projects to 1,000, up from the previous limit of 200. The RI Board uses pilot projects, which last for up to six years, to test new ideas, methods, and organizational frameworks for clubs. Pilot clubs that take part in these experiments are fully functioning Rotary clubs that are exempt from some requirements in the Standard Rotary Club Constitution. * Approved a measure allowing Rotarians outside the United States and Canada to receive an electronic version of their official Rotary regional magazine, if one is available. Rotarians within the United States and Canada were allowed the option of receiving a digital version of The Rotarian by the 2010 Council. * Approved changing the name of Rotary's Fifth Avenue of Service, currently called New Generations, to Youth Service. The name New Generations was meant to reflect the need to build up the next generation of Rotarians, but proponents of the name change argued on Wednesday that the word "youth" is more universally understood, both inside and outside Rotary, and clarifies the fact that these programs encourage Rotarians to empower youth.
* Approved allowing a district to have an unlimited number of e-clubs, removing a previous restriction of two e-clubs per district. E-clubs meet electronically, conduct service projects, and sometimes also hold in-person meetings. * Approved a measure, aimed at increasing membership, that provides for satellite clubs, whose members meet at a different time and location from their parent club but who are also considered members of the parent club. * Approved a measure allowing participation in club projects to count toward club attendance requirements. The measure amends the Standard Rotary Club Constitution to provide that a member must attend or make up at least 50 percent of club regular meetings or engage in club projects for at least 12 hours in each half of the year, or a combination of both. * Removed the travel reimbursement policy from the RI Bylaws. This will enable the RI Board of Directors to develop a policy that is flexible, able to address emergency travel situations, and able to take advantage of cost-saving opportunities. * Defeated two measures that would have allowed clubs to meet less frequently. The delegates also rejected a measure that would have allowed a club to cancel six regular meetings a year instead of four, for holidays, the death of a club member, disasters, or other emergencies.

Poster contest for honest polls held By Ian Ocampo Flora Monday, April 22, 2013 CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- The Rotary Club of Central Pampanga (RCCP) has sponsored an onthe-spot poster making contest at the University of the Assumption (UA) High School.
Evelyn Bautista, RCWP President Nato Rongcal, PDG Jess and DG Tony Bautista
happy birthday, PDG JESS! A party was hosted by RCWP on 16 April 2013 at Fortune Restaurant, San Fernando City, Pampanga.
The theme of the poster-making contest is “Peaceful and Honest Elections” in which participants were asked to draw and present their perceptions on how elections should be done in the Philippines. Organizers said that the competition is RCCP’s way of making the young people aware of the significance and importance of having clean, honest, and peaceful elections this coming May 2013. Each year level is represented by two students totaling the participants to eight. The board of judges was composed of RCCP president Carla Espinosa, president-elect Loida Velasco and assistant secretary Coney Miclat.

editor’s NOTES VISIT US AT www.rotarydistrict3790.org Two of our members attended a business conference in New York. Just for the heck of it, one of them wore the club Rotary vest while shopping. Imagine his surprise when he was pleasantly approached by one gentleman who introduced himself as “fellow Rotarian” and that how happy he was to meet a Rotarian from the Philippines. They exchanged business cards, and became email pals, and later on matching grant partners! Whenever we wear the Rotary pin or our club uniform, we are telling the world that we love Rotary and proud to be Rotarian. Somehow, we are bound to meet fellow Rotarians or new friends or even curious people who want to know about Rotary. That opens an opportunity to make friends, business, or even Rotary partnerships. Whenever we put up signs, banners, or posters, with the name of Rotary, we are telling the world that “help is available, just contact us.” We get the attention of the needy, but we might also get the attention and interest of a donor, giver or possible service partner. Let us then start showing off Rotary and tell the world that we are Rotarians, that we have time and resources to help the deserving, and that we are interested to make life better around us, for the good of others, our families, and ultimately ourselves.
