April 2012

All roads lead to Iloilo City on April 12-14 for the District Conference, as Rotarians of R.I. District 3850 gather together for the annual reunion and fellowship.

Fellow Rotarians, we come not because we want to escape from our regular activities in our businesses or professions, but because we have the obligation to attend when we took our “Service Above Self” oath.

The DISCON is also the time to reckon our activities for the year based on the theme, “Reach Within to Embrace Humanity.” Clubs who have accomplished different projects expect a reward based on the criteria set earlier, and if I were to judge, everyone wins and nobody loses.

In addition to the listed awards, we will also include the Most Outstanding Club Secretary Award. This is to recognize the most active person behind the club president. Our secretaries are our silent heroes who deserve a little pat on the shoulder. Of course, the criteria include punctuality in the submission of reports like the MAR and SAR, collection of dues, and involvement in the club activities (as reported by the club president).

As DG Melvin announced, the Most Outstanding Spouse Organization will be awarded to recognize our partners who have been rallying beside us in all our Rotary undertakings.

Clubs with upcoming activities may still carry on with their projects up to June 30 or beyond, because we, Rotarians, find neither limits nor boundaries in our desire to serve and promote our advocacies for our less privileged brothers and sisters.

To all the delegates, may you have the best time ever so that the Iloilo City DISCON will be positively remembered as you return to your respective areas.
