INVOCATION Gracious Eternal God, this is the season of

light. Light from the festive glow of the

Menorah, warmth from the yule log fire,

radiant beams from the tender face of the

babe born in Bethlehem. In this the darkest of

months, we give thanks for the light You bring

to humankind. We give thanks for the light

this Rotary Club has shed throughout its long

history on so many others, both here at home

and throughout the world. We ask that we be

nourished by this food, fellowship and

reflection on our past and energized to

convey Your perpetual light . . . forward into

the future. In Your holy name, Amen.

NASUDNONG AWIT Yutang tabunon, mutya nga masilakon.

Putling bahandi, amo kang gimahal. Mithing

gisimba, yuta’s mga bayani; Sa manlulupig,

pagdapigan ka. Ang mga buntod mo ug

lapyahan, sa langit mong bughaw. Nagahulad

sa awit, lamdag sa kaliwat tang gawas. Silaw

sa adlaw ug bituon sa nasudnong bandila.

Nagatima-an nga buhion ta ang atong pagka-

usa. Yutang maanyag, duyan ka sa pagmahal,

landong sa langit ang dughan mo. Pakatam-

ison namo nga nagatukaw kung mamatay

man sa ngalan mo!

There is no experience quite like attending the Rotary International Convention. Discover the true spirit of aloha and Rotary with your family, friends, and fellow Rotarians from 6 to 10 June in Honolulu. It is the perfect setting for the entire family of Rotary to celebrate, collaborate, and connect.

There are two types of people who enjoy visits to Hawaii — those who have never been to the islands and are about to have unique and wonderful experiences, and those who have had those Hawaiian moments etched into their memories already and cannot wait to create some new ones.

The convention is the best place to find and share your aloha, which you will soon discover is much more than a greeting. Just as Rotary is a way of life for Rotarians, aloha is a way of life for Hawaiians — one that focuses on living in harmony, being patient, treating everyone with respect, and sharing joy with your family, or 'ohana.

Our host committee has arranged some fabulous events for you and your family. This includes a Hawaiian Culture and Lunch Boat Cruise, a two-hour tour that will feature spectacular views of Diamond Head, Waikiki, and the Kahala Gold Coast. On board, you can learn to play the ukulele, take part in hula dancing, and create your own Hawaiian flower lei.

You will also have the opportunity to enjoy a full range of island hospitality events, from small backyard picnics to multicourse family meals. There will be fantastic service projects to see, including two ancient Hawaiian fishponds. And a sunrise Walk for Peace will take place at the beautiful Ala Moana Beach Park, a 3-mile stroll in the shadow of the iconic Diamond Head crater. …..continue next page



Inside and outside the convention halls, we are going to hold the most family-friendly convention in Rotary history, including a family-centered opening ceremony and family-focused events in the House of Friendship. The opening session will, of course, include our traditional flag ceremony.

Our 2020 convention will also be a time to celebrate Rotary's historical ties to the United Nations. As I mentioned in my November message, June 2020 will mark the 75th anniversary of the signing of the United Nations charter. On the day before the start of the convention, Rotary and the UN will host our fifth joint event of 2019-20, one focused on environmental sustainability.

In addition, we are planning the greenest convention in Rotary history — and I will share more details about this in the months ahead. But now, go to riconvention.org and click the REGISTER button right below the Honolulu Hawaii 2020 logo. Early registration discount pricing ends 15 December, so do not delay.

Rotary Connects the World in no better way than at the Rotary Convention. Bring your family to meet our family. See you in Honolulu!

The year is almost over, and I know that you are thinking about

giving gifts and making last-minute contributions. You are

wondering how best to show your appreciation and love.

The answer is very simple — make your gifts to The Rotary Foundation. Don't take my

word for it: In an independent analysis, your Rotary Foundation was ranked No. 1 among

the world's best-known charities. For the 12th consecutive year, The Rotary Foundation

has received the highest rating — four stars — from Charity Navigator, an independent

evaluator of charities. The Foundation earned the maximum of 100 points for

demonstrating both strong financial health and commitment to accountability and

transparency in Charity Navigator's August ratings. …..continue next page



In a letter to the Foundation, Charity Navigator notes that "only 1 percent of the charities

we evaluate have received at least 12 consecutive four-star evaluations, indicating that

The Rotary Foundation outperforms other charities in America. This exceptional

designation from Charity Navigator sets the Foundation apart from its peers and

demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness."

This recognition comes on top of awards won in the past several years. Rotary's

commitment to eradicating polio worldwide won Best Nonprofit Act in the Hero Awards of

the One Billion Acts of Peace campaign, an international global citizens movement to

tackle the world's most important issues. And the Association of Fundraising

Professionals — the world's largest network of professional fundraisers — named The

Rotary Foundation the World's Outstanding Foundation, honoring our long-term

achievements.

It's easy to say that we belong to one of the greatest philanthropic organizations in the

world. But the truth is, your Rotary Foundation is the best. So close out the year by giving

the greatest gift of all to the world. Gimme five and show your support for The Rotary

Foundation.

Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK… By: Walter Cang

With Pres. Mike Torres leading the charge

of RCC members attending the Rotary

Institute, many familiar faces were

missing at our meeting last week. PE Ed

Gaisano had the honor of calling our

meeting to order and he certainly seems

to be getting the hang of it! He

congratulated our hardy team of riders

who finished the recently held Perimeter

Ride to End Polio and the positive results

of their effort. He then reminded us of the

different club activities that are coming up,

including the Governor’s night, Rotary

Institute, Christmas party for both our club

on the 13th and CSYGC to follow. He

acknowledged that while the meeting

appears to be sparsely attended, the

convergence of so many activities

We welcomed guests from RC Metro

Cebu who joined our meeting to share

news about a worthy fund raising project,



The World’s Big Sleep Out. Ms. Maritess

Mendoza, representing Pres. Cathy Cusi

of RCMC spoke to us about this worldwide

endeavor to bring attention to the scourge

of homelessness around the world. She

presented a video that provided

information about this problem worldwide

then explained how they are taking action

to bring it to the forefront. She invited our

members to take part in a gathering on

Dec. 7 at the City Sports Complex in

Abellana; and to actually sleep outdoors

just like what many homeless people do

each day.

We took this opportunity to invite Rtn.

Fred Regottaz, who is returning to his

home country in France. Fred has been

with us for several years and we will

certainly miss him. PE Ed presented him

with a Rotary pin as a

remembrance of his time with

us. Sec. Walter also spoke

briefly to remind everyone

VTT is coming up in 2 weeks

and requested everyone to

check their duties and

responsibilities on the

volunteer matrix that is being

circulated.

Our guest speaker, Atty. Eric

Menchavez presented his

views on the salient points of

a one-person corporation.

This is a new ruling from the

SEC that is clearly a big

takeoff from the traditional

corporate structure that we all

know of. He effectively presented the

difference between the former and latter

and it was an interesting presentation.

Whereas the traditional model requires a

physical person to form the officers of the

board, the new option allows officers to be

appointed but they do not need to have

any stake in the corporate entity.

He also explained that in the eyes of the

governing body, an entity can be a natural

person or a non-juridical person, in the

form of a corporation. He shared some

caveats where this rule is not allowed,

such as corporations in certain industries,

professions, etc. Needless to say his talk

generated a lot of questions so much so

we went beyond our allotted meeting time

as there were many questions fielded and

answered.

a sub-project of Community Scouts and Youth Guidance Center Christmas Party

To live in a place which is far from

what we call "HOME" is such a

difficult thing. Experiencing the

absence of a parent's tender love

& care; realizing the things that

we don't have & what have lost.

In times you needed something

or someone, you can't just easily

have it in a glimpse because you

have no one to

accommodate

your thoughts,

sense of

belongingness

and wants.

This scenario

leads Rotaract

Club of Cebu in

partnership

with Rotary

Club of Cebu to



their fifth year of

conducting

"Christmas In A Box

Project" wherein the

52 children in CSYGC

Center are given the

chance to receive

their Christmas

wishes. The kids will

write down their 3

wish lists. They are

also the one who's in

charge of creating and

designing their gift boxes to showcase their creativity. All the kid’s boxes are turned

over to Rotaractors to have it safely keep. While all their wish lists will be forwarded

to Rotary Club of Cebu and frien ds to consider and have the wishes granted.

Rotaractors and Rotarians will work hand in hand and will do their very best to grant

the children's wishes and have it provided to their respective gift boxes for the

upcoming CSYGC Christmas Party

project this December.

Days like this are the most

awaited days of these children.

The Rotaract Club of Cebu and

Rotary Club of Cebu are looking

forward for the Christmas Party of

these unique children. Surely,

they will be happy!

We would like to thank ate April for supporting this activity on behalf of Rotary Club

of Cebu. She's really a very supportive and effective manager.



After the activity, the fellowship dinner continued in Siomai sa Tisa, Labangon, Cebu

City.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in

my hair

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through

the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a

shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew

dim

I had to stop for the night.

There she stood in the doorway;

I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself

'This could be heaven or this could be

Hell'

Then she lit up a candle and she

showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor,

I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face.

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year (any time of year) you

can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the

Mercedes bends

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that

she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet

summer sweat

Some dance to remember, some dance

to forget

So I called up the Captain,

'Please bring me my wine'

He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here

since nineteen sixty-nine'

And still those voices are calling from far

away,

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say"

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face.

They livin' it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise (what a nice

surprise), bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,

The pink champagne on ice

And she said, 'we are all just prisoners

here, of our own device'

And in the master's chambers,

They gathered for the feast

FELLOWSHIP SONG

Hotel California



They stab it with their steely knives,

But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was

Running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the

place I was before

'Relax' said the night man,

'We are programmed to receive.

You can check out any time you like,

But you can never leave!'



But you can never leave!'

(A joke a

day keeps

the doctor

away)

A woman walks into a bank

A woman walks into a bank in New York

City and asks for the loan officer. She says

she's going to Europe on business for two

weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The

bank officer tells her that the bank will

need some kind of security for such a

loan, so the woman hands over the keys

to a new Rolls Royce that's parked on the

street in front of the bank.

Everything checks out, and the bank

agrees to accept the car as collateral for

the loan. An employee drives the Rolls

Royce into the bank's underground

garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the woman returns,

repays the $5,000 and the interest, which

comes to $15.41. The loan officer

approaches her and says:

"We are very happy to have had your

business, and this transaction has worked

out very nicely, but we're a little puzzled.

While you were away, we checked out

your accounts and found that you were a

multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why

would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

"Well, where else in Manhattan can I park

my car for two weeks for fifteen bucks?"
