Random Thoughts…12012011
Last week’s guest speaker was Ms. Cheryll Selda of Microsoft Philippines. She was a former Rotary Exchange Student to Brazil sponsored by the Rotary Club of Roxas City. Cheryll spoke about Microsoft’s Corporate Social Responsibility. We intend to explore possibilities how our Rotary Club can participate in their various programs. We have also invited Cheryll to be a member of our club. If she joins us, we will definitely have a heads-up on Microsoft’s civic programs that we can tap for our own projects.
November 26 was definitely a date to remember because ‘FDG’ Benny Pe threw the “party of the century” to commemorate the birthday of his lovely spouse, Nene – who was radiant that evening, especially with all the superlatives used by Benny to honor her in his speech. Several members and our honorary member PP Raffy Evangelista, all in formal attire - the ladies in their long gowns, the men in black tie - witnessed the festivities complete with lavish food, superb entertainment, and a bottle of JW Blue Label. Johnny Litton was the MC while Jose Mari Chan dedicated a few songs for Ate Nene. I failed to get the name of the tenor who also sang, but the last performance was by the musical band, Spirit of 67 for those who wanted to dance the night away.
The 2nd RCSJ President’s Cup fund raiser golf tournament was successfully held at the Villamor Golf and Country Club last Tuesday, November 29. A total of 16 players participated, where some of our player/members went home with new trophies for their cabinets. With the funds earned from this tournament, Pres. Nan will be able to complete his projects for this Rotary year with enough funds carried over for PE Jojo Bacarro’s term. Thanks to the sponsors and members who worked to solicit said sponsors and invited players.
Cheers and enjoy RotaryJ
