PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
ROWENA “Jing” SARAO
Dear RCMSL Family,
Our month of October was a busy month filled with District and
club activities. ‘On To Montreal’ held in Makati Sports Club was
the highlight of the month as the District launched the annual
Rotary International most prestigious event involving all Districts in
the country and other countries. The event was well attended by
nearly all clubs in our District as DG Sid Garcia led the activity
while I had the honor of being one of the MCs. So was our PP
Mari Lacson who co-emceed with Phem Barranda. Our club was
represented by around 11 members.
Another District activity with our active involvement was the
Membership Recruitment Seminar held in the Rotary Club of
Makati office. The exhortation and focal point was for all clubs to
increase membership through an effective recruitment strategy. I
had also the honor of being one of the MCs for the occasion.
Halloween Committee meeting, donation of medicines for Calawis
and ‘Kapit Bisig for Pasig’ contributions were also discussed in
one meeting prior to our regular meeting last October 22.
Finally, we had our Halloween party in PP Maridel Villavicencio’s
house attended by 21 members, inducted two new members Jun
Alba and Ken Espinosa, son-in-law of Maridel.

The ‘Membership Recruitment Seminar’ was conducted with the focal point of increasing
membership in the entire District. While we recognize the challenge of retaining our talents, we are
given the task of increasing our membership to at least 10% from our current level. That would
translate to recruiting 4 new members with our current headcount 39. Fortunately, we have 2 new
members thus, we have two to go till June of 2010.
