NOTES (RANDOM THOUGHTS) FOR THE JULY 7 ISSUE:

A. PP E.G. LIM SHOWS HIS RELIGIOSITY BY COMPOSING THE INVOCATION JUST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE START OF RCSJ PROGRAM LAST JUNE 30. HE IS ALSO THE SECOND PERSON TO DECLARE THAT HE READS THE SUNDAY READINGS THAT I POST IN OUR EGROUP

B. DG JUN FARCON SPENT HIS LAST MINUTES AS GLOBAL GOVERNOR WITH RCSJ – HIS “SECOND CLUB”

C. BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT BREAKFAST FOOD TASTED GOOD FOR DINNER WHERE CORNED BEEF AND PANDESAL BEAT LECHON AND TUNA SASHIMI LAST JUNE 30

D. PRES. NAN’S EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH IS ADMIRED

E. DID YOU KNOW THAT PP NONI GOT TO FULFILL HIS DREAM OF SINGING IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE? HE DID SO LAST WEEK WHEN HE SANG “FOR HE’S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW” FOR NOW IPDG JUN FARCON

F. PRES. NAN’S FIRST PROJECT ON THE VERY FIRST DAY OF HIS TERM, FEEDING THE KINDERGARTEN PUPILS OF NICANOR IBUNA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, BARANGAY 11, SAN JUAN

G. WHO’S BETTER, WHO’S BEST…WHERE ONE ORTIGAS ARRIVES FOR OUR MEETING EARLY AND LEAVES EARLY, WHILE THE OTHER ARRIVES LATE AND LEAVES EARLY – WHO’S BETTER, WHO’S BEST?

H. WHERE “NEAR PERFECT” ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH ANYMORE – POL’S HANDLING OF THE “INTRODUCTION OF VISITING ROTARIANS AND GUESTS” HAS DRAWN TOO MANY CRITICS, ALL DRAWING SCORE CARDS AND KEEPING TAB OF THE ERRORS IN POL’S DELIVERY OF THIS TASK

I. DORAY AND GINA’S BAND OF VISIONARY AND GLOBAL PRESIDENTS, WHOSE PRESENCE IN OUR CLUB’S SPECIAL EVENTS CONFIRMS A BOND OF CAMARADERIE AND FRIENDSHIP FORGED FROM DOING ROTARY DUTIES TOGETHER AS CLUB PRESIDENT – AN ALLIANCE THAT PRES. NAN WILL SOON HAVE WITH HIS MAJECTIC CLASSMATES.

J. THE THREE “GRINGOS” (PAST PRESIDENTS ADO, TITO, AND DONDO) WHOSE PRESENCE DURING CLUB MEETINGS SERVE AS AN INSPIRATION TO VISITING ROTARIANS AND ALSO SIGNIFIES THAT “RULE 85” DOES NOT EXIST IN RCSJ’S VOCABULARY

K. THE PRESENCE OF DISTRICT 3800 DIGNITARIES IN OUR CLUB MEETINGS EITHER MEANS THAT OUR CLUB IS RESPECTED OR THAT WE SERVE GOOD FOOD OR BOTH

CHEERS AND ENJOY ROTARY :-)
