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. Districts 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 the same buildinghis
was on the 1st floor and mine was on the 2nd floor, and I passed by his
office regularly. PDG Manny was a prolific writer. 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 and 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.
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 offices 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

Through 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 back to God.
Equally we come into this world grasping at everything, but when we
leave it, we leave all material things behind as well. Through Rotary,we
can leave behind something real and lasting.
Our time is now. It will never come again. Be a Gift to the World.
K.R.
Our club leaders have the responsibility to regularly check their individual
clubs progress and verify the accuracy of R.I.s data. To help them with this,
they will have the ability to track their clubs progress toward each of the
citations goals in real time by signing in to our My Rotary account. This
functionality will be available on 1 July. Any discrepancies they find in R.I.s
data should be brought to the latters 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 verified by the information we enter in Rotary Club
Central, as noted in the Presidential Citation brochure. Other activities
will be verified 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. Lets 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 finally, to
put up or maintain 53 Rotary Corners in public school libraries.
Now that we know our marching orders, lets carry them out together as a
team. Exchange ideas and then take action. So Forward.March.

he Rotarians of Taiwan, Districts 3460, 3470, 3480, 3490, 3500, 3510, 3520 Rotary International extend
to you our warmest greetings and friendship. We request the cooperation of your district in a project
designed to further international peace and understanding through acquaintanceship.
To further the International Service objective of Rotary, we invite your district to submit to us a suitable
student candidate from your community to be considered for an award of a scholarship under the Taiwan
Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship . This is not an exchange program, there is no financial obligation to the
sponsoring Rotary District, and your district will not be obligated to accept a student from our country.
The scholarship covers one scholastic year, from July 2015 to June 2016, and is for study only in specified
universities in Taiwan. The school to be attended in Taiwan will be selected by the Rotary District and
processing of admission will be handled by the Taiwan Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship Program.
The scholarship pays all scholastic costs including tuition, book allowance, campus housing, and food. The
Applicant must be at least 25 but not 40 years of age by August 1 of the year the classes begin. Persons who
have previously obtained the scholarship and studied in Taiwan are disqualified to join the program.
It is permissible that a candidate for the scholarship be a son or daughter of a Rotarian. It is of primary
importance to select someone who would be a good AMBASSADOR of your country and Taiwan.
