Last week’s meeting was highlighted by PP Doray’s birthday blowout, followed by the meeting of the San Juan Rotary Foundation after the Club meeting proper. As always, lunch was both sumptuous and tasty, thanks to PP Doray.

One of the resolutions made during the Foundation’s meeting is that all current members of our club, regardless whether they are already members of the Foundation or not, will donate Php 1,000 a year, to shore up the Fund’s level to over Php 1.0 million – where 70% of the interest earned by the Fund helps support projects of the club. In a separate resolution, nine (9) immediate past presidents will comprise the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, where the Club’s immediate Past President will sit as President of the Foundation, for a term of one year – in this case, PP Gina Sanchez. Another resolution made was that PP Tony Abola will be the Foundation’s Chairman (for life).

It was a gruelling 5 games (each) of ten pin bowling, for four players namely: Pres Nan Sallan, PP E.G. Lim, Rtn. Rose Caoc, and I, during the penultimate game of this year’s District Ten Pin Bowling Tournament held last Sunday November 20 at the Coronado Lanes in Star Mall. Kudos to all who one way or another, participated in this year’s bowling tournament.

Cheers and enjoy Rotary J
