ROTARY PLEDGE I do solemnly promise to help advance the Object of Rotary, comply with the Constitution and By-Laws of Rotary International and of the Rotary Club of Mandaluyong ever putting into practice Rotary’s motto: “Service Above Self”.

THE FOUR-WAY TEST Is it the TRUTH? Is it Fair to all concerned? Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

THE OBJECT OF ROTARY The OBJECT of ROTARY is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service. SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions, the recogni-tion of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and dignifying of each Ro-tarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society. THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life. FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

4. BE FAIR to my employer, employees, associates, competitors,

customers, the public and all those with whom I have a business

5. RECOGNIZE the honor and respect due to all occupations

Thank you, Father,

for the gift of Rotary and each other.

we give thanks for the pleasure of gathering

together for this occasion.

We give thanks for this food prepared

by loving hands.

We give thanks for life, the freedom to enjoy it all,

and all other blessings.

As we partake of this food, we pray for health and

strength to carry on and try to live as You would have

us. This we ask in the name of Christ, Our Heavenly

Father.

Amen.

Hello all and welcome to our 6th regular meeting of RY 2014-2015.

Our last meeting featured Dr. Barbie Wong-Fernandez, who gave us an

enlightening talk on the issues surrounding the current K-12 implementa-

tion. From all accounts, her talk was very well received, and it does help

our educational projects going forward. Interestingly enough, it was a

time of renewed connections as well, as PE John was once her ward

at UP. This resulted in an invitation for PN John to speak at the

Philippine Foreign Student’s Association. Small world indeed.

We also had our first celebrant’s night held at Calderon restaurant. Although it was a very wet night,

we had 20 members and spouses in attendance, and it was a good time of fellowship, gossip, and a

certain “induction dance” video. At that meeting, and after plying us Rotarian males with much food

and beer, the spouses committee volunteered to take over the planning and organization of future

celebrant nights and holiday occasions. This is a fantastic offer, which our club quickly accepted.

Celebrants’ nights are now planned for the first Friday evening of the month, celebrating our birth-

days and occasions for the previous month, with a few exceptions. Notably, the mooncake festival is

now marked on our calendar. This is tentatively set for September 13. Details are to be announced.

Our club sent a sizeable delegation to the RC Bagumbayan and RC Greater Mandaluyong inductions,

and District Interact Chair PP Herman, along with Cluster Chair PP Mark organized a very success-

ful District Interact Assembly held on Saturday, August 2. Three of our interact clubs participated.

Likewise, the Interact Club of MPNAG, and the Rotaract Clubs of RTU both held their inductions on

July 22 and August 6 respectively. We sent delegations to those events as well, as we sponsor those

clubs. Lastly, our first board meeting of the Rotary year was held on August 5. I’ll present the out-

come of this meeting at our club assembly on August 15, so please save the date.

We begin our district zone project this August 16 with a container-garden seminar. You’ll see the

event flyer inserted, and the invitation letter printed, in this issue. Do support this worthwhile cause;

I’ll be devoting this meeting to explaining what this is about. The Best Class President’s Zone 8

team has also begun to meet and conceptualize our participation in the district flagship project on

People with Disabilities.

There is a lot going on as we strive to “LIGHT UP ROTARY.” Do keep in step by checking our

calendar at www.facebook.com/rcmandaluyong. Not a facebook member or just too long? Just use

Hello Fellow Rotarians! We are on our six regular meeting of our

Club in RY 2014-2015. To those who were away on business or on

vacation, a warm welcome back. We are glad to have you join us

for today’s meeting and fellowship here at Crowne Plaza.

August promises to be a very busy month for the young and not-so-

young Rotarian.

ROTARY 101 is scheduled tomorrow, Saturday 9 August 2014.

Training will be held at the Department of Education Complex in

Pasig and it starts at 1 PM. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet the fresh faces of Rotary

District 3800 Zones 6, 7, and 8 as well as to learn the fundamentals of our world-class or-

ganization. Hope to see you there!

Pres. Gion recently sent out an invitation via email to our home zone’s GROW YOUR OWN

ORGANIC KITCHEN GARDEN on 22 August 2014, Saturday from 1-5 PM in the Blue

Building in Mandaluyong City Hall. What a great opportunity to bring the family to partici-

pate in this event. This is perfect for those who have a penchant for the culinary arts and

would like to source only the freshest ingredients from your own backyard. Apparently, hav-

ing a green thumb is not a requirement.

Our first joint meeting will be on Wednesday 20 August 2014 at 6 PM with the RC Manda-

luyong East at the Valle Verde Country Club. Our guest speaker will discuss cyber security

and how to protect yourself, your family and your business from threats in cyberspace. This

will be the first of a number of joint meetings we plan throughout the year as Pres. Gion

mentioned in his presentation at the Governor’s Visit.

As Club Secretary, I encourage us all to start inviting future Rotarians to our Club meetings.

We have a wonderful year ahead and it would be a shame to just keep these all to ourselves.

LIGHT UP TOTARY!

Don’t forget to check and LIKE our new Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/

RCMandaluyong. You can keep track of the activities of RC Mandaluyong on the fan page.

I end with the traditional sign-off from one of my favorite radio programs called the Writer’s

Almanac hosted by Garrison Keillor which is quite apt for the ROTARIAN:

“Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.”

When I Fall In Love

When I fall in love it will be forever

Or I'll never fall in love

In a restless world

like this is

Love is ended before it's begun

And too many moonlight kisses

Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely

Or I'll never give my heart

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too

Is when I fall in love with you.

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too

Is when I fall in love with you.
