Today we pray that we receive Your special blessing because

we are committed to be a real service organization to help

humankind. May each of us in our daily routine come to know

the joy of caring and sharing with others not as fortunate as

we are. May our motto that includes serving, caring and

sharing be for us life in service.

Amen.

♪♫•*Sweet Rotary♪♫•

(The Centro Hymn)

When it began

I can’t believe it happened

But then I know it’s going strong

2001

That’s when it came to being

Who’d have believed we’ll grow to

be…

Hands, touching hands

Reaching out, touching me, touch-

ing you

Sweet Rotary

Sta. Rosa Centro’s good

I’ve been inclined

To believe we’re going strong

And now, I…

Look all around

So many help is needed

C’mon, together I know we could

And when we hurt,

We can just smile and bear it

‘Coz we were born to serve and be….

Warm, touching warm

Reaching out, touching me, touching you

Sweet Rotary

Sta. Rosa Centro’s good

We’re going strong

We are here for all of you

Sweet Rotary Sta. Rosa Centro’s…

GREAT!



President’s Message

Good day ladies!

This week was truly filled with activities. We cele-

brated the 109th anniversary of Rotary. Numerous

rotarians from various clubs of District 3820 joined

the motorcade which ended at Calamba’s Rizal Park.

We also had the talk on Child Trafficking organized

by our director for community service, Evs Laranga.

I would like to thank everyone that have contributed

their time and support for these Rotarian activities.

As March 8 draws nears, I wish to remind everyone

of our project, "Buntis Wellness 4” so once again I

am appealing for everyone's help and cooperation.

Yours in rotary service,

First Class President Teodora “Doray’” Lucero

LOVE QUOTES FROM THE LOVE-LY

LADIES OF RC STA. ROSA CENTRO

Loooove…. Is a many-splendored thing… it’s a rosary full of mysteries…. It’s undefinable… it’s… it’s love! Let’s see what L-O-V-E means to our Centro ladies…

“Love takes two to

tango”

PP Carol Salvahan

“Love is real, real is

love. Love is feeling, feel-

ing love. Love is wanting

to be loved”

PP Hazel Ramos

Rtn Myrna Valle

“You can give without

loving, but you can never

Love without giving”



Editorial

“Love grows in a happy

heart”

PP Precy dela Cruz

“Never expect, never as-sume, never ask, never demand. Just let it be. If it’s meant to be, it will just happen.”

AG Leni Ma

“Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking out-ward together in the same direction.”

Rtn Cecile Gabatan

PN Pen Cuya

"Love never ends “. (1 Cor 13:8)

IPP Liza Pineda

"Hating is for the weak, loving is for the strong. It takes more to love some-one who did you wrong than it does to hate him."

"Deeds preceded the written word. After service had

been rendered in manifold forms, the word “Service”

with all its varied meanings

and implications, was

written in the Rotary plan."

(Paul, Harris This Rotarian

Age, page 89)

Reflections

“Every Rotary club should be made a forum

before which vital economic and social

problems may be fairly and intelligently

discussed. Club programs should stimulate

thought, widen the horizon, and deepen

conviction.” — The Program for the Year,

THE ROTARIAN, August 1920

For your Information

To date, Batan Island still has a few remnants of the Span-

ish rule, seen its its old fashioned edifices, centuries old

Spanish churches and an old Spanish bridge.

Rent a bike and wing through sweeping panoramas of rug-

ged terrains, gorgeous valleys and coastline repeatedly un-

der attack by waves.

Say hello to Racuh Apayaman, touted as the Marlboro

Country, a communal pastureland. Marvel at the undulating

valley, hills and green meadows where wa-

ter buffalo, horses and cattle roam freely.

The ancient coastal village of Diura is also worth checking

especially during the fishing season when they perform

the Kapayvanuvanua ritual.

Things to do in Batanes

If you are up for more adventure, you can hike up the

dormant Mt.Iraya in Basco, just coordinate with your hotel for a

local guide.

Cross to the well-preserved Sabtang Island where you will find

well-preserved Ivatan Culture.

Wander around Savidug and Chavayan for the stone houses.

Take home the remarkable hand-woven vakul from Sabtang

Weavers Association.

Do not leave Sabtang without exploring the astounding natural

arch formation on its shores.

Batanes is bathed in serenity and dramatic scenery. No wonder

it has virtually zero crime rate – a testament to which is

the Honesty Coffee Shop. Drop by anytime!

5. Other Matters

a. Secretary Precy announced the ID Nos. of our two latest mem-bers:

Dra. Jen : 8773225

Dra. Auralyn: 8773229

b. Our DISCON will have the theme: Broadway

c. Regarding donation of our sister club RC Wodonga West:

AG Leni said that the donation has two parts:

$1,200 AUS given by the Club. PP Matt mentioned that

we may choose to allocate it for BATS but not compulsory.

$1,000 AUS given by an individual through the club. The

donor requests that the money be used to buy two (2)

Aqua Boxes. Given the input that aqua boxes are no long-er needed by the victims, PP Matt will try to persuade the

donor to allow us to use the money for another thing.

Gov. Chit gave her suggestion that we instead divert the dona-

tion to the District project of a schoolbuilding in Iloilo (also

Yolanda victims)

Another option is to give the donation to TRF with a project

also on schoolbuildings for Yolanda victims.

The Club decided to divert the $1,200 AUS Club donation to

the District 3820 Project for Iloilo.

Should PP Matt be able to persuade the donor of the $1,000

AUS to change the Aqua Box request, the Club decided to allo-

cate it to the TRF Project. Of course, should the donor insist on the aqua box, we will comply.

d. Buntis Wellness

All participants for pap smear, ligation and check up will be

pre-screened by Dorays Paanakan 1 week before, and a list of

accepted participants will be provided for Registration. There

will be no walk ins.

We will ask Mayor Arlene to sponsor food. Pres. Doray will

send the letter. Ligation patients need to have soup or lugaw

after the procedure.

Pres. Doray will call a special meeting to thresh out details

about this event.




e. Sisterhood with RC Makati Cristo Rey

Where to have sister club signing?

We can invite them to attend our Buntis Wellness on March

8. If they cannot make it, we can attend their regular meeting.

f. Rtn. Myrna said that the Isuzu Training team is only availa-ble on March 7 to conduct training. However, we may be

busy on that day due to Buntis Wellness 4, so we will just forego with the training.

6. With no other matters to discuss, the meetings was adjourned

at 9:50 p.m.

--nothing follows--

Minutes taken by : Rtn Myrna Valle

One of the most beautiful thing in the

world is a woman's heart. It is fragile yet

strong. Delicate yet resilient. When a

woman gives you her heart, she gives her

most prized possession. If you love,

nurture, cherish and protect it, she'll give

you the world.
