 Rotary Information
Compiled by DGR-PR/PP Edna Edzz C. Ko
Club Trainer

Message from the Rotary International President John F Germ

Forty years ago, a man named George Campbell, the owner of the company I worked for, invited me to join Rotary. Back then,
that was a common practice in the United States. Your boss invited you to join Rotary because he thought it would be good for
business and good for the community, and you said yes. Its not surprising that our membership surged during that period.
George warned me not to use Rotary as an excuse to slack off at work. Even so, I always had time to attend lunch meetings and
serve on committees. I never had to worry that taking a long lunch once a week would hurt my advancement, or what my boss would
think about the occasional Rotary phone call at work.
Today, things are different. Companies are less generous about time, and not every manager looks favorably on community
service. Its hard to enjoy a Rotary meeting when youve got emails piling up on your phone. Its harder than ever to balance work
with Rotary and the model that gave us so much growth a few decades ago is part of whats holding back our growth now.
Thats why the recent Council on Legislation adopted some innovative measures that allow clubs to vary their meeting times and
expand their pool of prospective members. Clubs have more flexibility now to respond to the needs of their members and to clear
away as many barriers to membership as they can. But theres one barrier to membership that only you can remove, one thing that
every prospective member needs to become a Rotarian: an invitation to join a Rotary club.
Whenever I tell a group of Rotarians that we need more willing hands, more caring hearts, and more bright minds to move our
work forward, everyone applauds. But those hands, hearts, and minds wont magically appear in our clubs. We have to ask them to
join. And an invitation to Rotary is something that only you can give. An invitation is a gift. Its saying to someone, I think you have
the skills, the talent, and the character to make our community better, and I want you to join me in doing that.
Im the president of Rotary International, but the only club I can invite someone to join is the Rotary Club of Chattanooga, Tenn.
I cant make your club or your community stronger. Only you can do that by inviting the qualified people you know to join you in
Rotary Serving Humanity.
John F. Germ President, 2016-17

District 3860 Updates

by AG/PP Marie Josephine Jing de Vera
Assistant Governor - Area 2C

MEMBERSHIP and EXTENSION MONTH

Points Discussed During the Rotary International Trainings Shared
by District Governor Mary Anne Meanne Alcordo-Solomon:

- Reasons why we join Rotary.

- The Rotarian is not a member of Rotary International. His/her Rotary club is the member of
Rotary International and the Rotarian is a member of his/her Rotary Club.
- Membership to Rotary is by invitation only.
- Rotary is a prestigious club with members who are decision makers in their business/company.
- The minimum number of members required to charter a new club is twenty (20), so that means
existing club should have not less than twenty (20) members.
- There are clubs with members who are Resume Rotarians and R-I-N-O (Rotarian In Name Only)
and words. There are also fictitious clubs that exist for personal interests.
The Rotary name is a passport for fictitious clubs to solicit donations

KEEP THE FOUR WAY TEST AS YOUR WAY OF LIFE!

A landmark achievement was made during RY 1998-1999 under the leadership of Duterte
President Linda C. Tesoro. RCDD bested all Rotary clubs in the district with a Grand
Slam, wining all four of the major district awards: Most Outstnding Club, President, Multi-purpose Building: Center for
Secretary, and Club Bulletin. It was considered as a historical track record of a club Hope at Agdao district
in the district, which is yet to be duplicated.
Year after year, the harvest was great that it came to a point that no Downtowner Mother Club: Rotary Club of Davao
would want to be President! It was feared that the clubs sterling performance
