Amidst the pandemic, we have witnessed how everyone stepped up in one way or another to help the people in need – our fellow Filipinos.
Witnessing this act of humanity, diverse group of professionals from Malvar, Tanauan, Sto. Tomas, and Lipa teamed up to form the newly chartered club. Governor Ray Atienza named the club “Rotary Club of Metro Malvar” which is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Batangas MidWest, guided by Past President Arnold Mendoza, as adviser, and Past District Governor Casimiro “Jojo” De Guia, Jr.
The Rotary Club of Metro Malvar is guided by the core values of Commitment, Acceptance, Respect, Empowerment, and Synergy. Where everyone is resolved to do good, accepted for who they are, respected for their beliefs and preferences, and empowered to be the best version of themselves to be of service to others.
RC Metro Malvar believes that there is unity in diversity. Moreover, the club believes that everyone, regardless of age and background, has the power to create possibilities and make dreams reality.
On October 29, 2020, RC Metro Malvar was officially chartered and became part of the Rotary International District 3820 family.
"The Rotary Club of Metro Malvar is guided by the core values of Commitment, Acceptance, Respect, Empowerment and Social Responsibility."
We’ve all taken our own path to become a member of Rotary Some of you joined because your father was a Rotarian Some of us signed up because an employer tapped us on the shoulder and asked us to attend a meeting Others became members only after a U S Supreme Court ruling made it possible. Yet each of us entered through one mechanism an invitation
An invitation that unlocks our imaginations and allows us to know that everything and anything is possible Each one of us has that same opportunity the honor to extend an invitation. It is awe-inspiring to imagine how we can look out across our communities and identify our future leaders.
It’s often tempting to attract people who are exactly like us. It’s a special form of ingenuity to consider how people who are seemingly very different can, in fact, share our values and have some of those same talents, just waiting to be unleashed
It’s time for Rotary to take our next step in advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) across our organization
Embracing an experience where people feel included is more than just making our membership numbers more diverse. It’s about making our meetings and events places where we can speak openly and honestly with each other, where our members feel welcome and safe. This means removing barriers for entry and opening doors for inclusion
Our values remain our strength and our commitment to excellence requires us to maintain high standards for our members as well
I believe we are all committed and determined to advancing DEI across Rotary. This is rooted in the deepest traditions of our organization, and it will ensure that we remain vibrant and relevant for decades to come
A few years ago, our Rotary Board set the ambitious goal of increasing the share of female members to 30 percent by 2023 We have less than a year to go, but I believe we can meet and exceed this target
We need Rotary leaders to rise from every continent, culture, and creed We need young members and young thinkers to take on larger roles and responsibilities. We need to listen to new Rotary members just as keenly, and with as much respect, as those with many years of membership
During our recent convention in Houston, we heard from astronauts about their journeys into space We reflected upon a time in the 1960s when U.S. President John F. Kennedy urged the world to dream, with his declaration that we would “go to the moon [and do] other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard ”
Fully committing Rotary to DEI and meeting our ambitious membership targets may seem as unlikely as a moon shot But I know that when people of action are committed to a big goal, we make it worth every ounce of our energy
We are now entering the second half of membership and new club development month, and we are thrilled to see the progress that has been made so far. We want to take this opportunity to thank all of our members who have been actively engaged in this effort
We still have a lot of work to do, and we encourage all of our members to continue to reach out to potential new members and to explore new club development opportunities. This is a great chance to expand our network and grow our community.
Remember that every effort counts, no matter how big or small, and that each new member can make a significant impact on our organization Let's work together to make this month a success and continue to build a strong and vibrant community.
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to our organization.
