Senator Teofisto Guingona III and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Amando Tetangco Jr, both nominees and two of the charter founders of RC Holy Spirit, were among 14 distinguished personalities honoured by RI District 3780 during the Vocational Service Awards Night held last October 28, 2011 at the Eastwood Richmonde Hotel. Sen. Guingona and Gov. Tetangco were recognized for their excellence in the fields of Public Service-Legislation and Banking and Finance, respectively. They are among 14 distinguished persons in Quezon City who have excelled in their respective vocations, demonstrated commitment to high ethical standards, and established themselves as role models for others. Governor Tetangco took time out from his busy schedule and attended the awards night with his wife, son and daughter-in-law. In fact, he had just come from a meeting in Malacanang. Sen Guingona could not make it and the award was received in his behalf by PN Ed Valbuena. BSP Gov. Tetangco was also nominated by RC Kamuning West.

RI Presidents November Message

My dear brothers and sisters in Rotary,
In 1885, the London Times ran a series of editorials honoring the 100th birthday of Sir Moses Montefiore, the British financier and philanthropist knighted by Queen Victoria. The editorials commented on his honesty, his generosity, and his willingness to come to the aid of anyone in need. One story was particularly telling. Someone once asked Sir Moses, one of the wealthiest men of his era, how much he was worth. In the face of such an ill -mannered inquiry, he merely paused for a moments reflection before naming a figure one that fell far short of his questioners expectations. Naturally, it was met with an objection; surely he must be worth 10 times as much! Sir Moses merely smiled. Young man, he replied, you didnt ask me how much I own. You asked me how much I am worth. So I calculated how much I have given to charity this year, and that is the number I gave you. You see, in life we are worth only what we are willing to share with others. When we calculate our own worth, do we think about it in terms of what we have, or how we use it? When we say that all human beings are of equal worth, do our actions follow our words? I believe that being a Rotarian means looking at all of our resources differently. What is the most good that we could choose to do with what we have? What are the choices that will ultimately leave us the richest? In Rotary, we are all aware of the great needs in so many parts of our world. And we all know how much we can do to help through our Rotary Foundation. We can change lives, we can restore hope, we can build futures if we choose to. In life, everything is a choice. We can choose to close our eyes to the needs of others, to keep what we have for ourselves, to declare the problems of others to be theirs alone. Or we can choose to look past distance, past color, past language and dress and culture, and see that people everywhere are just like us and then refuse to walk away. Kalyan Banerjee President, Rotary International

Rotary celebrates World Interact Week

By Ryan Hyland Rotary International News -- 1 November 2011

During World Interact Week, 31 October-6 November, Interactors and Rotarians worldwide commemorate the charter of the first Interact club in 1962. To mark this occasion Interact clubs are encouraged to participate in joint projects with their sponsor clubs. Rotarians can celebrate by including Interactors in their weekly meetings, or inviting an Interactor as a guest speaker. "Interactors should be celebrating this week by getting together to review their accomplishments over the past year," says Martin H.F. Bridge, chair of the RI Rotaract/Interact Committee and member of the Rotary Club of South Holland, England. "It is a great time to reflect on the vision of those who started the program nearly 50 years ago." The success of Interact is crucial for the future of Rotary, says Bridge. "Interactors will, in time, understand all about Rotary, and should make good future Rotarians." In turn, reaching out to Interactors "keeps Rotarians young at heart" and provides insight into the thoughts and concerns of younger generations, he added. Bridge says communication between Rotarians and Interactors is important. Interactors should take every opportunity to meet with Rotarians in both their sponsoring club and neighboring clubs.

2011-10-05 13:01:59 "We gave loans to deprived women supporting large families," says past president Heba Kabel of RC Alexandria Sporting, Egypt. Club members made loans of about US$85 to 20 entrepreneurs to launch small food or cleaning businesses. The loans were paid back in instalments over the course of a year, and the money was then loaned out again -- turning the club's initial investment of about $1,700 into a sustainable program.

Public is aware of Rotary, but unsure of what we do

2011-09-27 13:34:23 RI commissioned the survey of 1,000 individuals in each of six countries -- Argentina, Australia, Germany, Japan, South Africa, and the United States -- to gauge the general public's awareness and perception of the organization. The results are consistent with those of a similar survey conducted in 2006: While respondents had heard of Rotary, they did not know much about what it does.
