March 7, 2013


Secretary’s Corner_03072013

Three events last week caused calling off our meeting last Thursday namely: the donation of food and clothing for the fire victims in Barangay St. Joseph and the donation of Stethoscopes for the San Juan City Hospital on Feb. 23; the donation of laboratory equipment, projector and computers for the chemistry lab of the San Juan National High School on Feb. 28; and the District Conference 2013 on March 1 & 2 at the SMX Convention Centre - Mall of Asia Complex.

The donation to the fire victims and San Juan National High School were both personally received by Mayor Guia Gomez in behalf of the constituents. The Mayor was kind enough to give us a tour of the new City Hall last Feb. 23.

The following members attended DISCON 2013: Pres Jojo Bacarro, PE Therese Montecer, AG Doray Giorla, PDG Pepe Peralta and spouse Thesy, PP Gina Sanchez, PP Noni Topacio, PP Pol Leoncio, PP Manny Guia, PP Nan Sallan, PN Rose Caoc, and I.

We would like to recognize Pres. Jojo Bacarro and AG Doray for their participation in the Governor’s Ball of DISCON 2013. In the same thread, kudos goes to Pres Jojo, AG Doray and PP Gina who represented our club in the Talent Night competition where the San Juan Zone garnered 3rd Place. The Marikina Zone wound up in 2nd Place while the Mandaluyong Zone was this year’s Talent Night champions.

One highlight of the DISCON was the breakfast meeting between the incumbent Presidents and the President Elects early during the second day of DISCON 2013. This meeting has initiated the gradual turnover of the helm from Pres Jojo to PE Therese Montecer.

The SMX proved to be a better venue for DISCON 2013 compared to past conferences that were held at hotel ballrooms.

Today’s meeting marks our first meeting for the month of March and PE Therese is expected to announce the officers and service directors for the next Rotary Year.

Cheers and enjoy Rotary J

Sec/PP Jovie
