Interactors of Holy Spirit conduct peer tutoring sessions to help improve schoolmates’ academic performance By All Star President Monique Palmiano of the Interact Club of Holy Spirit National High School
A signature project of the Interact Club of Holy Spirit National High School, peer tutoring sessions were conducted by bright and eager Interactors on August 20, 2016 for 57 students who had been referred by teachers. The students were given review lessons in English, Mathematics and Science to prepare them for the forthcoming periodical tests. The Interactor -tutors, numbering 15, even gave away prizes to the students who did well during the sessions. The tutoring sessions were again held on August 27, 2016, with 58 students participating, and 13 tutors assisting them. This time, the students were given advance lessons in English, Math and Science to prepare them for the next grading period. It was good news for the Interactor-tutors when they were told that most of the students they had tutored obtained passing grades in their examinations. The students said that “mas naintindihan namin yung mga lesson kasi naituro ng step by step at maayos.” The Interactors were overjoyed, knowing that they were able to help their schoolmates in their studies. The tutoring sessions are held before and after periodical examination schedules.

Joint meeting of RC Timog and RC Holy Spirit, August 30, at the Rotary Center. It was opportunity to implement the attendance flexibility option as Holy Spirit International Service Chair FCP Dr Bong Jung who had just moved to Korea listened in and watched the joint meeting via the Internet
August 30, 2016 was an educational experience for both RCs Timog QC and Holy Spirit when they held a joint meeting at the Rotary Center. The meeting featured interesting and mutually-relevant talks from members of both clubs. First to speak was RCHS PP Chin-chin Jurado who talked about her business of formulating, producing and marketing products using natural, indigenous raw materials. The herbal-based products include shampoos, soaps, insect repellents, balms. PDG Francis Rivera then talked about Classification Survey. An entertaining AVP featuring PRIP Cliff Dochterman (RY1992-93) was shown where he spoke with his trademark wit, humor and charm on the diverse membership of Rotary even before February 23, 1905. PDG Francis emphasized the importance of assessing membership classification, saying that the right combination of people in a club ensures better accomplishment of goals. The last to give a talk was DGR-PRM Ric Salvador who presented the situation of D-3780 in terms of clubs’ subscriptions to Rotary magazines, The Rotarian and the PRM. Official reports from the PRM office show D3780’s dismal ranking among 10 districts in the Philippines as regards compliance with RI required subscription and amount of unpaid subscriptions. Both RC Timog ASP Jubee Navarro and RCHS ASP Peth Rivera shared their own stories of their beginnings in Rotary. Indeed, it was a night of learning and bonding. Leaders of both clubs then explored the opportunity to work jointly on a Global Grant funded service project. RC Holy Spirit is on . .

District Governor’s Message By Governor Dwight Hilarion M. Ramos, Rotary International District 3780
Let us lead the way in carrying forth the tradition of ROTARY SERVING HUMANITY
We should have more Rotarians who can achieve more good work, and who will become the Rotary leaders of tomorrow. And so it goes back to what Paul Harris has said about members combining all their effort in order to serve humanity together: This is Rotary Serving Humanity! This calls for all our Clubs to chart a seamless and smooth segue from membership to TRF to public image and back.
The recent Council on Legislation adopted some innovative measures that now give Clubs more flexibility to respond to the needs of their members and to clear away as many barriers to membership as they can. Clubs can already vary their meeting times, can have in-person or online participation, and can expand their pool of prospective members. Now in explaining the RI Presidential Citation for RY 2016-17, President John Germ said that there is no better path to meaningful service today than Rotary membership as we rely to our members in order to be able to make a real and positive difference in our communities. Through the members, Rotary has the capacity, the network, and the knowledge to change the world. Thus, our goal is to have more people join us and become members of Rotary.
We start by getting our members' ideas organized into projects and then apply for a TRF grant to fully or partially fund these Club Service Projects. We successfully implement our service projects then let everyone know of what our Club has done through a PR program. The community sees, reads and hears about our Club projects, thus membership recruitment is enhanced. Donors, both here and abroad, hear and read about them too and soliciting funds for future Club projects will be easier. This cycle goes on and on and at the end of the day, what you actually have is a proven formula for having an effective Club. This is our commitment, both a responsibility and an opportunity, to lead the way in carrying forth the tradition of "Rotary Serving Humanity" this Rotary Year 2016-17.

What defines a Rotary club? You choose Posted on August 9, 2016 by John Hewko, Rotary International General Secretary What Rotary has achieved over the past century is remarkable. We were one of the world’s first membership service organizations. Rotary members have made a decisive positive impact in our communities and around the world, from helping to draft the UN Charter in San Francisco in 1945, to spearheading the most successful global health partnership in history with the launch of our PolioPlus program in 1985, bringing one of the world’s most feared diseases to the brink of eradication. The list of groundbreaking Rotary projects is too long to mention here. But as our Foundation enters its second century, we also need to think hard about how we will continue to have the kind of impact and influence that has shaped our first 100 years. Our members, of course, are the beating heart of Rotary. So membership is a good place to start. Greater flexibility Over the past 15 years, Rotary has carried out pilot programs that have explored new definitions of membership, classifications, and the club experience. We have consistently found that when clubs are given the freedom to determine how to hold their meetings, the composition of their membership, and what defines engagement, the club is more vibrant and better able to grow.
applied universally across our incredibly diverse Rotary communities is probably not sustainable. To address this, and support Rotary’s future health, Rotary’s Council on Legislation adopted two measures that in my mind are critical for our organization: clubs now have greater flexibility (see the video) in when, where, and how they meet and the types of membership (see the video) they offer. Also importantly, Rotaractors can become members of Rotary clubs while they are still in Rotaract. It’s your choice While this flexibility is available to those clubs that choose to amend their bylaws, a club that wishes to continue to adhere to the traditional requirements regarding meetings, attendance, structure, or categories of membership may continue to do so. Some clubs are already taking advantage of the new flexibility, as this blog post from a Rotaract member who is also now a Rotary member shows. Rotary needs to retain the talents of qualified young leaders as well as attract members from all demographic groups. The membership decisions, like many others at this year’s Council, are a significant step for Rotary’s future. Learn more about the membership and meeting flexibility decisions and the impact they will have on our organization’s growth in the years ahead (download the PDF). I encourage you to share this information with Rotarians in your club, district, and region. You can also read a review of the Council’s actions on rotary.org.
In some parts of the world, the traditional club model works just fine, but in others, our membership is flat-lining. To be frank, a single club model

“What are your reasons for joining, and for staying, in Rotary? Most joined for the opportunity to serve and stay for the friendships. The Rotarian magazine recently asked members around the world to share their reasons for joining, and for staying in, Rotary. THE DOVE, newsletter of the Rotary Club of Holy Spirit D3780 in the Philippines, asked the same questions to a number of Philippine Rotarians and added their responses to some of those reported by The Rotarian August 2015, in the summary below.
I joined Rotary to be a part of our collective humanitarian projects, and I have stayed because of the joy on the faces of beneficiaries each time we solve a need.
Raewyn Kirkman Rotary Club of Waikato SunriseHamilton, New Zealand
Chibuzo Hilary Asogwa Rotary Club of Ekulu, Enugu State, Nigeria
I had a desire to give back to my community and the world. My father was a Rotarian, so I knew a lot about it. That was about nine years ago. I think what keeps me there is the friendships, not only with people in my local club but with Rotarians I’ve met from around the world.
Elizabeth Cohoe Rotary Club of Cataraqui-Kingston, Ontario, Canada
In the Philippines I joined Rotary in 1995 unexpectedly for business reason.
I offered to do the club bulletin because liked the work, and finally found myself doing more and more. From that time on, I tried to do my part in making Rotary look better and attractive to others.
As a disabled couple who are both Rotarians, we knew that our fellow Rotarians would see us as people, not disabled people, and would welcome our input into the community. And so it has proved for the last 10-plus years!
I joined to make a difference in my community. I’ve stayed because I am.
Glo Nethercutt Rotary Club of Mabalacat, D3790 Philippines
Heather R. Klein Rotary Club of Alleghany County, North Carolina, USA
I joined Rotary after having been involved in a post-tsunami project in Sri Lanka in 2005. This was the first contact I had had with a Rotary club, and I was so impressed by the dedication of its members in their efforts to help others that I immediately applied to join my club in Stockholm when I arrived back in Sweden.
Nicholas Thompson Rotary Club of Stockholm International, Sweden
Honestly? I joined for business. But I stayed for the fellowship and causes.
Craig Howie Rotary Club of Whitby Sunrise, Ontario, Canada
I joined Rotary for the opportunity to inspire and give hope. To the down-trodden, to make them aware that all is not lost; to other members of Rotary, to make them aware that there is more value to life than material things and that their support gives life to others; and to the Rotary movement, to express that all things must change, evolve and improve.
Eric C. Santos Rotary Club of Commonwealth, D3780 Philippines
I sat down and figured out how much time I was donating, and how much more effective it would be as part of a club instead of doing it all myself. I joined for the service and stay for all the friends I’ve made. It’s nice to travel and instantly have friends wherever I go.
Aur Beck Rotary Club of Carbondale Breakfast, Illinois, USA
I’ve been speaker in Rotary and other civic clubs. I readily said yes when I was invited after a talk. As a total quality practitioner, I found that Rotary had good systems I could apply in my work. Club visioning and tourism master planning for Paranaque were my first Rotary projects. I stay because my time and competencies are fully utilized in club projects. And most Importantly our "God-inspired enabling friendships" is lived by the club.
Marge Lamberte RC Paranaque Metro, D3830 Philippines
Making friends, travel, and self-development attracted me to Rotaract. After a successful decade in Rotaract, I graduated to be a Rotarian. The bonding with Rotary family and the way projects are executed to benefit society at large helped me ascend to be a Rotarian.
Saket Gadkari Rotary Club of Thane Hills, Maharashtra, India
I joined Rotary to render service to the downtrodden; I stayed because I found fun and friendship.
Nze Anizor Rotary Club of Trans Amadi, Rivers State, Nigeria
David Shaw Rotary Club of Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, England
The more I give back, the more I continue to get. Rotary moments, personal development, great friends, the joy of service — Rotary is the gift that keeps on giving!
I joined Rotary because I wanted to expand my network of friends and open myself to more opportunities of service. I have stayed in Rotary because of friends that I acquired, the joy and happiness I have experienced in doing service and the blessings I have continuously received.
Pastor “Mar” Reyes Rotary Club of San Francisco del Monte, D3780 Philippines
I joined to render service in my small way to our community. I stayed because I enjoyed it well. Rotary is a better organization to find friendship.

Service opportunity in fun: Rotary members link Love of Beer, Clean Water Crisis By Arnold R. Grahl, Rotary News, August 24, 2016 Beer festivals have a strong fellowship component. When people are sampling beers, they are socializing and having a good time. Founders of the Beers Rotarians Enjoy Worldwide maintains a list of Rotary-sponsored beer festivals and encourages clubs to hold them.
Rotary Club. It's been so successful, the club added a home-brew competition and cornhole tournament this year, and plans to expand the event to two days next year. Other growing festivals include the Weed Brew Fest in California and Brew on the Bay in Key Largo, Florida. The beer fellowship promotes a list of brew fests sponsored by Rotary clubs.
When you sit down to enjoy a beer, you probably don't spend a lot of time thinking about one of its main ingredients – water. Or the fact that 3,000 children die each day from diseases caused by unsafe water.

"Microbrewing has become a huge industry, and this is definitely a way to capitalize on the popularity of that," notes Lack, who emphasizes that these fests aren't about getting drunk. The events typically last only a few hours and distribute small sampling cups that hold only four to six ounces. And standing in line limits the amount of time that people have to drink.
In May, more than 60 members of the fellowship, including beer lovers from Russia, South America, Australia, Japan, India, Europe, Africa, and North America, gathered at the Devil's Door Brew Pub in Seoul during Rotary's annual convention, to sample what was on tap and to socialize.

Another beer-related service opportunity: Enjoy a beer, do some good ! By Nisha Kotecha, GOOD NEWS SHARED. July 7, 2016
Who’s the guy on the bottle?
FOOD FOR THOUGHT Germany is known for beer. So it was great to stumble across a German beer that is enjoyable to drink AND does some good for the community. Quartiermeister is a bottom-fermented, brewed lager with an original gravity of 11.5° and an alcohol content of 5,0%. Brewed in accordance with German purity laws, Quartiermeister is not pasteurised, rather it is simply and gently filtered using the membrane filtration method. The Berlin beer brand uses their profits to support local community projects. Quartiermeister is both a social enterprise and an association. The association is responsible for the allocation of funding and regulates the business operation. You decide online which projects will be funded by the company. You can also apply for funding for your own project, recommend projects from your own neighbourhood, or get involved with the association and help shape Quartiermeister yourself. Master Brewer Stefan Glaab describes the taste of the beer as follows: ‘Quartiermeister is a fresh, traditional, mild, palatable, craft brewed lager. The beer stands out through its powerful and compact head. The body of the beer is light and spicy with a distinct hop bouquet and bittersweet taste.’
The guy on the bottle is the quartermaster The quartermaster. He concerns himself with the well-being of his neighbours, and he is seen as an emblem for everyone who sells, buys, drinks, does social projects and supports their neighbourhood through Quartiermeister. Click here to visit their website to find out more information, including where you can buy one of their beers.
