Secretary’s Corner_09272012

Today we welcome our District Governor Lirio Sandoval and the other District Officers of RID 3800.
Last week’s guest speaker was PP Ferdinand Topacio of RC Grace Park who spoke on the 7 Lessons from Hitler. Enumerated below for your perusal are the seven lessons we can learn from Adolf Hitler:

1. (Country) Expansionism should be vigorously opposed
2. Surround yourself with the best men and listen to them
3.  Discrimination will eventually backfire
4. A two-front war should be avoided at all times
5. Rhetoric should be matched with action
6. Failure brings dissent and rebellion
7. What is popular is not always right

As always, whenever our club has a guest speaker, the Open Forum turns out to be more interesting than the actual speech. PP Jimmy Ortigas was keenly taking notes about the speech probably because he has plans of one day being a dictator. I was also observing if our guest speaker would succumb to the pressure from the questions hurled by ‘FDG’ Benny Pe, but Atty Topacio was able to wiggle out of every difficult situation with flair. Now we know how he was able to get his high-profile clients. At the end of our meeting, he proposed that RCSJ and RC Grace Park form a Sister-Club relations. This was approved by RCSJ members.

We take note of the coming District Activities:
        
  •        New Generations Conference, September 29, Rizal High School Gym
  •         District Oktoberfest October 5, Marikina Convention Center


Cheers and enjoy Rotary J

Sec/PP Jovie
