APPLE
We are all nearing July 1, 2013. The date that we begin to Engage Rotary and Change Lives.
As your District Secretary, I would like to start the Rotary Year with a simple reminder. One word: APPLE.
A is for ATTENDANCE. This is our very first obligation as Rotarians- to attend weekly meetings. This will engage us in Rotary and all the privileges and opportunities that it can offer. To the respective Club Secretaries, the MAR (monthly attendance report) will be required of you to submit every 15th of the month. Just follow the simple formula below:
[Month] [Zone #] [Club Name] [Number of Members] [Number of Meetings] [% of Attendance]
and send to SMS ( 0999-377-9135) or email to d3850rotary201314@gmail.com.
P Stands for PAY YOUR DUES. This will keep our respective clubs functional and efficient in delivering the services that we are ought to do. Your Respective Club Secretaries and Treasurer are given the free hand to device ways of how to effectively and efficiently collect dues.
THE SAR (Semi- Annual Report) is mailed to your secretary or handed through your respective Assistant Governors . Please accomplish this and furnish us ASAP.
P means PARTICIPATE. As worthy representatives for our respective vocations, we are all expected to translate Rotary ideas into reality. Each Rotary Year, Our RI President has set minimum requirement as part of the presidential citation that we can be guided upon. At the same time our District Governor has challenges set for us from where we can derive inspiration or to where our respective club goals are leading to DGE Mark Ortiz is particularly emphasizing importance of a strategic plan and signature projects that our clubs can work on for the next 3 years & beyond.
L is LIVE/ LEAD ROTARY. Having been accepted into Rotary membership, we were is not merely being taken in the club. We become ambassadors of Rotary. Those who knows us will judge Rotary through our conduct. Thus LIVING and LEADING a Rotary-way-of-life is engaging the highest tenets and ideals of Rotary into our personal and professional lives.
Lastly, E means ENJOY ROTARY! Rotary International begun with fellowship 108 years ago and is continuously strengthened by the same until now. Let us always enjoy Rotary’s lovely atmosphere sweet fellowship, and beautiful, lasting friendships.
