SCRIBBLES FROM THE EDITOR
JESUS VINCENT CARBON III
Joshua Marine once said, “Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” Indeed. Being at the helm of our R.I. District’s monthly newsletter, I recognized that the task is enormous and the challenge is of unparalleled proportions. …… It was at the time of PDG Manuel “Manny” Tatel, Jr. that I became aware of the existence of Rotary. We held office in he same building—his was on the 1st fl or and mine was on the 2nd fl or, and I passed by his office egularly. PDG Manny was a prolific riter. He could whip an article for a local newspaper or a letter to a colleague just in a matter of few minutes. PDG Manny often saw me in his office nd often, he would ask me to help him encode all those articles and letters with his crisp Bicolano-accented tone of apology, “alam mo naman, matanda na ang Ninong mo… paki-type nga nito.” …… I still can recall vividly how I was invited to have the position of GML editor-in-chief. After our weekly Rotary meeting, then DGE Oliver “Ver” Ong asked me to stay. When we were both seated, he dished it out straight, “Vince, how would you like to become the editor-in-chief of our GML?” And so goes the time-honored and essential phrase, “the rest is still a story in the making….”

O
ur time on this earth is fin te, and it’s always shorter than we think. How do we want to spend it? Will we give of ourselves to others, so that the world will be richer because we passed through it? Or will we spend our days, as the famous Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote, in stringing and unstringing our instruments, while the song we came to sing remains unsung? The glory of Rotary is that it helps us fi d a way to sing that song. It guides us on a path to living richer, more meaningful lives, by encouraging us to focus our attention on the things that matter — and helping each of us fi d our own way to be a gift o the world. If we ask ourselves what characteristics we value most in our friends, most of us would answer similarly: integrity, trustworthiness, caring, compatibility. Our friends are not necessarily the people who are most like us but the ones who complement us, who bring out the best in us. That, to me, is precisely what we can fi d in Rotary.
Rotary is a way to bring out the best part of ourselves, and let it guide our lives. Too often, we spend our days in pursuit of the goals that should matter least. We focus our attention on our own achievements and our own gain; we devote endless energy to the accumulation of material things. Yet at the end of our lives, no one will remember us for the cars we drove, the clothes we wore, the titles we carried, or the office we sat in. We will not be admired for the efforts we poured into Every one of us has something to give — whoever making our own lives richer or our own we are, whatever our place in life. We can give status higher. In the end, our worth will be our talent, our knowledge, our abilities, and measured not by how much we acquired, our effort; we can give our dedication and our but by how much we gave away. devotion.”
“
Will we avert our eyes from suffering, or will we alleviate it? Will we speak words of compassion, or will we act on them? Will we be content only totake from the world — or will we give to it? In the 2015-16 Rotary year, our theme will be Be a Gift o the World.
K.R. “Ravi”Ravindran
RI President 2015-16 Rotary Club of Colombo Sri Lanka
Th ough Rotary, we can take these gifts and make a genuine difference in the lives of others and in our world. It is said that we are born with our fists clenched, but we die with our hands open, and that our talents are the gift that God gave us. What we make of our talents is our gift ack to God. Equally we come into this world grasping at everything, but when we leave it, we leave all material things behind as well. Th ough Rotary,we can leave behind something real and lasting. Our time is now. It will never come again. Be a Gift o the World.

THE R.I. PRESIDENT
K.R.
Ravindran holds a degree in commerce and is founder and CEO of Printcare PLC, a publicly listed company and global leader in the tea packaging industry. He also serves on the board of several other companies and charitable trusts. He is the founding president of the Sri Lanka Anti Narcotics Association, the largest antinarcotics organization in Sri Lanka.
Ravindran said his top priority for Rotary will be to increase membership, which he called the bedrock of any organization.
As his country’s PolioPlus chair, Ravindran headed a task force with members from the government, UNICEF, and Rotary and worked closely with UNICEF to negotiate a ceasefi e with northern militants during National Immunization Days.
“Ravi” Ravindran, a member of the Rotary Club of Colombo, Western Province, Sri Lanka, (has been selected by the Nominating Committeez for President of RI in 2015-16. Ravindran will become the president-nominee on 1 October if there are no challenging candidates.)
“The emphasis on membership has to continue with focus on the younger generation,” Ravindran said. “Additionally, we must seek to attract the just retired and experienced people into Rotary.” Creating regional membership plans and realizing that “one size does not fit all” has been a move in the right direction, he said. “Albert Einstein defi ed insanity as ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’ In many ways this has been the story of Rotary’s poor membership advance,” he said. “Thankfully, our approach this time has been studied and altered. We have created 22 different membership regions so that each region would develop and execute a plan that would suit that particular region.” Ravindran said it’s important for Rotarians to share their stories, especially through social media, so others can see the impact Rotary has had in their lives. He said it’s also important for the organization to speak with a consistent voice. “Our identity must remain simple and be based on our core values. It must be clear and straightforward to both our internal and external audience.”
A Rotarian since 1974, Ravindran has served Rotary as a director and treasurer of RI and as a trustee of The Rotary Foundation. He has also served as an International Assembly group discussion leader, district governor, Council on Legislation representative, and zone institute chair. He chaired the Schools Reawakening project, sponsored by Rotary clubs and districts in Sri Lanka, which rebuilt 25 tsunami-devastated schools, benefiting 15,000 children. Ravindran has been awarded The Rotary Foundation’s Citation for Meritorious Service and Distinguished Service Award and the Service Award for a Polio-Free World. He and his wife, Vanathy, have two children, and are level 4 Major Donors to the Foundation. by Arnold R. Grahl Rotary News 6-Aug-2013

H
appiness to our New Rotary Year! Make it happen!
I am happy to inherit a stronger district with a Vision to unite and harmonize us more through the years. I am blessed that our District Leaders are committed to serve as ONE to strengthen further our geographically challenged yet a Fun District. And I am fortunate that our World Class Presidents are all excited to lead their respective clubs to make this year more signifi ant-full of action. Go forth and serve … is our hurrah! Seize the opportunities in the 6 areas of focus to help our less fortunate brothers and sisters. They deserve better in life. Wipe away those tears and turn those weary faces into appreciative smiles is what we aim for. You will be the light! You will be the spark! You will be the hope! While you are sharing your gifts in lifting their burdens, be assured that your District Servants will be there to help you realize your goals, in every way we can. No clubs will be left behind and all clubs will be supported, near or far.
We will serve with responsibility and dedication. Distance will be overcome with technology as it has made the world smaller and interconnected. We will serve with responsibility and dedication.

“

Oliver “Ver” Ong, MPHFzz
District Governor 2015-16 Rotary Club of Zamboanga City
6 | GML July 2015
We will engage you to ensure your success. We will be in front of you, leading the way. We will be by your side, ensuring you are on the right path. And we will be behind you, pushing you to Success! You will hear a lot from your District office! As Ben Carson once said: “Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but from what we give.” Let us be a Gift o the World. Make it happen!
“OUR MARCHING ORDERS” Great Rotary Greetings to the D3850 World Class Team and Rotarians: As your District Secretary, my task is to help our exciting World Class District Governor Oliver Ong in carrying out the mission of the district and that of Rotary International by assisting the clubs in achieving their goals and objectives. Rotary International President Ravi has set forth his thrusts as embodied in the R.I. Presidential Citation brochure and our Rotary Theme: Be a gift to the world. Our own Governor Oliver too has his set of district thrusts and goals which are more particularized and have cascaded from those of our R.I. President’s. Unless otherwise specifi d, all activities to be considered for the R.I. Presidential Citation must be completed between 1 July 2015 and 1 April 2016. Our accomplishments will then be verifi d by Rotary International data. Please take note that unlike in the previous Presidential Citations where we simply indicate by tick marks our having complied a particular goal and duly attested to by our District Governor, that would not work under the new scheme as there must be actual reporting online in the Rotary Club Central which will be duly verifi d before we are given due credit. What does this mean? It means we must fi st enroll with MyRotary, stay online and keep updating our accounts. It is not easy… but we can do this. Do not be afraid to ask for help. You can count on your District Offic s for help on this regard.
PP Emilio “Emil” Aquino, MPHF District Secretary 2015-16 Rotary Club of Zamboanga City - West
Our club leaders have the responsibility to regularly check their individual club’s progress and verify the accuracy of R.I.’s data. To help them with this, they will have the ability to track their club’s progress toward each of the citation’s goals in real time by signing in to our My Rotary account. Th s functionality will be available on 1 July. Any discrepancies they fi d in R.I.’s data should be brought to the latter’s attention immediately so they can be resolved before the deadline. Among others, our clubs must complete two mandatory activities and additional activities as described in each category. Clubs are mandated to set at least 15 goals in Rotary Club Central and to pay the July semiannual dues to R.I. on time. Some activities will be verifi d by the information we enter in Rotary Club Central, as noted in the Presidential Citation brochure. Other activities will be verifi d automatically when we initiate a specific action.On the other hand, our very own Governor Oliver enjoins us to do the same thing plus another set of 9 goals. Thus, 100% of our clubs should make on-time payment of R.I. dues. All of us should subscribe the Philippine Rotary Magazine. Let’s submit our 3-year Strategic Plan. We should also register 100% to the Rotary Club Central. Aim for two new members and maintain a 100% retention rate. Enhance our public image via tri-media and facebook. Support TRF with $100 per capita. Avail Global Grants. Support our future Rotarians: Interactors, Rotaractors, Rylarians, Rotex, Rotakids and other new generation groups plus the Rotary Community Corps. And fi ally, to put up or maintain 53 Rotary Corners in public school libraries. Now that we know our marching orders, let’s carry them out together as a team. Exchange ideas and then take action. So Forward…….March.

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY
T
he International Assembly is Rotary’s annual event for governors-elect. It was first held in Chicago in 1919. Between 1928-1950, it was held before the convention, at a site near the convention city. It then moved to Lake Placid, New York, for more than 20 years. In recent years, it has been held in San Diego, California, USA. It’s now held much earlier to allow incoming governors more time to prepare for their year as governor. The International Assembly educates, motivates, and inspires district governors-elect to lead Rotarians in their districts. Through plenary sessions, group discussions, networking activities, and social events, future governors get the hands-on information they’ll need for the coming year. This training meeting features speeches by the RI president-elect, Rotary Foundation trustee chair-elect, and other senior Rotary leaders, such as past RI presidents, current RI directors, and past Foundation trustee chairs, who share their knowledge and experience. Participants exchange information and ideas with other governors-elect from around the world, creating bonds that foster future projects and a lifetime of friendship.

Dear Club Presidents: his brochure describes the Presidential Citation program. Please use it to plan your clubs’ activities for the 2015-16 Rotary year. This year’s Presidential Citation is somewhat different from previous ones. In developing this program, I put a lot of thought into selecting goals that, if achieved, would be measurable by all of us and make Rotary demonstrably stronger, more effective at delivering service, and more widely known and respected by the general public. To improve our capacity to accurately measure our goals, Rotary International has enhanced the tools we use to gather and analyze data. These improvements will allow all levels of Rotary — from the clubs all the way up through the district, zone, and international levels — to measure and assess their respective performance. Thanks to these resources, we now have a paperless process that replaces the forms and reports clubs and district governors were required to submit in the past. Instead, we will verify all club achievements with the information your clubs provide in the Rotary International database.
T
To qualify for the Presidential Citation, your clubs must complete two mandatory activities and additional activities as described in each category. Some activities will be verified by the information you enter in Rotary Club Central, as noted in this brochure. Other activities will be verified automatically when you initiate a specific action. Unless otherwise specified, all activities must be completed between 1 July 2015 and 1 April 2016. Your accomplishments will then be verified by Rotary International data. As club president, it is your responsibility to regularly check your progress and verify the accuracy of RI’s data. To help you with this, you will have the ability to track your club’s’ progress toward each of the citation’s goals in real time by signing in to your My Rotary account. This functionality will be available on 1 July. Any discrepancies you find in RI’s data should be brought to our attention immediately so they can be resolved before the deadline. District governors will also be able to track the progress of all of their clubs in My Rotary. I am asking your district governors to follow up with you regularly and support you in achieving these goals. I will also challenge district governors to qualify for a District Governor’s Citation program to promote districtwide achievement. Details on the criteria will be shared with them separately. Thank you in advance for your efforts this year. Remember that your hard work will enable Rotary to make a significant difference in the lives of people all over the world.
• Update club brochure and newsletter using Rotary’s visual identity guidelines (visit the Brand Center at www.rotary.org/brandcenter). (Clubs must report in Rotary Club Central
