Pres Jojo was absent for our club meeting last week due to a Board Meeting in his office. It was therefore Vice President/PP Pol Leoncio who presided over the meeting. What otherwise could have been “just another ordinary weekly meeting” became a very productive day for the club. The following list summarizes the items resolved / accomplished at last week’s meeting:

1.  we inducted returning Rotarian PP Baby Macatangay to the club, our evening meetings makes it possible for her to attend our meetings,

2. we got the contact person whom we will write to and coordinate the retrieval of the sewing machines from the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Malabon through the assistance of PP Manny Guia,

3. PP Noni Topacio agreed to arrange for the transport and storage of the sewing machines in his factory/warehouse where they will be prepared for possible deployment to the Pinaglabanan Elementary School and help augment / sustain the Busog Lusog Talino feeding program for the years ahead,

4. we were able to provide the bank details where incoming funds from the World Community Service will be placed for the purchase of lab equipment of the San Juan National High School,

5. ‘FDG’ Benny Pe agreed to donate food and used soap for the WOW City Harvest Project

6. ‘FDG’ Benny Pe will also arrange a seminar: How to invest in the stock market on Oct. 11, 2012,

7. Papa Ver is recommending a speaker whose topic will be the Alternative Learning System,

8. PP Pol Leoncio is also recommending a speaker on the subject, How to Raise Funds

What a productive day! Don’t you wish there would be more days like this?

Cheers and enjoy RotaryJ
