July 11 , 2017 Rotary Club of Holy Spirit Club No. 69935 RI District 3780 Philippines Vol. X No. 01

For the 6th year since 2011, the new Rotary year is ushered in by
Rotarians & Interactors of Holy Spirit alongside SPED pupils, their
teachers and parents
It was indeed a very heart-warming new
Rotary year celebration on July 7, 2017
at the SPED Center of Dona Juana Ele-
mentary School. The school officer-in-
charge Master Teacher I Armelyn C.
Matiga opened the program as she wel-
comed members of the Rotary Club of
Holy Spirit, parents of pupils and other
guests.
The SPED children and their teachers
prepared a program with a Hawaiian
theme. Everybody came in a Hawaiian-
inspired attire. The SPED pupils per-
formed Hawaiian dance numbers, pa-
tiently coached by their teachers.
Interactors of Holy Spirit National High
School led by President Shane Ma-
cabodbod provided intermission enter-
tainment as they sang two (2) contem-
porary song numbers.
During the program, RCHS officers and
members led by Program Champion PP
Marcia Salvador turned over 100 Mongol
pencils, 50 packs of Crayola crayons,
Elmers glue and glue sticks to the six
(6) SPED teachers led by Master
Teacher Gloria Tatad.
With Rotarians Dr Aleli Rivera-Onia and
Prof Angeli Rivera acting as judges,
SPED pupils Andrea Denise Surban and
Elmar Clarete were awarded Best in Ha-
waiian Attire. Before snacks of spa-
ghetti, chicken and juice drinks were
served, the children enjoyed some
games with the help of the Interactors.
At the instance of Past RI President
MAT Caparas and PDG Jess Cifra to
show that Rotary cares for children,
RCHS began to celebrate the new Ro-
tary year with a party program with pu-
pils, parents and teachers of the SPED
Center in July 2011. The celebration of
every new Rotary Year with SPED has
since evolved into a programmed
event of the school, with a theme, deco-
rated stage, students & teachers in at-
tire, fun games, and formal program, all
initiated and provided by teachers and
parents.
In his own message, Ric Salvador,
president of the Rotary Club of Holy
Spirit, introduced members of the Rotary
family of Rotarians and young Interac-
tors. He then expressed appreciation for
the continuing opportunity to work in
partnership with school officials, the fac-
ulty and parents in Making a Difference
in the lives of less fortunate students of
SPED. Rotary works with them in 4 pro-
grammed events throughout a year:
Celebration of new Rotary year; National
disability prevention and rehabilitation
week; Celebration of Christmas; and
Recognition Day. Our purpose is to im-
bue hope and inspire the SPED pupils &
parents and their six (6) remarkably tal-
ented and dedicated teachers to always
aspire for excellence.
Congratulations to leaders of Holy Spirit
PP Marcia Salvador, IPP Peth Rivera,
PP Linda Palatao and Rtns Jerry Sy, Dr
Aleli Rivera-Onia and Prof Angeli Rivera
who worked together and helped make
the event truly meaningful for the SPED
pupils. And cheers to the Interactors of
Holy Spirit, too! The Champion of our
continuing Flagship Program with the
SPED Center is PP Marcia Salvador.

6th annual celebration of new Rotary year held in the midst of WASH
The celebration of new Rotary year on July 7,
2017 was held inside the covered court of
Dona Juana Elementary School, a public
school that has about 6,000 students. The
drainage system in the area was then still
being rehabilitated to stop over-flows of dirty
water and obnoxious odor. When completed,
the project will safeguard the health of pupils,
their teachers, school staff and visitors. This
project in WASH (clean water, sanitation and
hygiene) has been sponsored by Quezon
City Councilor Rtn Neneng Valmocina, long-
time member of the Rotary Club of Holy
Spirit.

WASH is a priority program of Rotary Interna-

tional and of District 3780, from the All-Stars
Year last year through this year and next.

Holy Spirit receives DG Chito Borromeo and his team for the offi-
cial Governors Visit timed with clubs 12th Charter Anniversary
In keeping with customary practice, the Rotary Club of Holy
Spirit scheduled the visit of District Governor Chito Borromeo
and his team on June 29, 2017, its 12th charter anniversary.
The Governors Visit started with a one-on-one meeting be-
tween Governor Chito and TGP Ric Salvador.
This was followed by the Club Assembly which was chaired
by PP Ped Condeno and featured the presentation of the
clubs targets, plans and programs for RY 2017-18 and be-
yond. Lead presenters were:
Club Administration Committee Chair and PN JR
Delgra
Membership Development Vice Chair of Member-
ship PP Angel Castro
Community Service Vice President PP Beth Sy
Vocational Service Chair Rtn Kring Kring Rivera-
Onia
International Cooperation & Understanding PP
Marcia Salvador
Youth Service Rtn Angeli Rivera for the Youth Ser-
vice Committee, with
President Lovely Paalisbo who presented se-
lected service initiatives of the Rotaract
Club of Holy Spirit, and
President Shane Macabodbod of the Interact
Club of Holy Spirit National High School
who made a similar presentation brief.
The Rotary Foundation Vice Chair CP Nides Respicio
Public Image Vice Chair Rtn Abet Sevilla
Feedback and evaluation by Governor Chito and his team
ensued after each presentation. AG Jun Zipagan served as
Moderator of the Question and Answer process.
The District Team was composed of PDG Jess Cifra, DGN
BH Herrera-Dy, District Secretary Bong Cruz, District Chief
of Staff Jesse Tanchanco, AG Jun Zipagan, and SDDCOS
Lito Polloso.
Overall, it was a successful Governors Visit. As Gov Chito
said in his concluding remarks, excellent preparation, excel-
lent plans.
The event was capped by a simple dinner in commemoration
of RCHSs 12th charter anniversary. In addition to club mem-
bers already men-
tioned, also pre-
sent during the
GV were PP Linda
Palattao, PP
Marites Ne-
pomuceno, PP
Chinchin Jurado,
Prosecutor Rtn Ed
Valbuena, Rtn
Jerry Sy, Rtn Dr
Jovy Andres, Rtn
Percy Zabala.
Offline feedback from TGP Ric Salvador: The participa-
tion and support extended by all club officers and mem-
bers in preparation for and during the Governors Visit
could only be described as Superb. They shared inputs
during several meetings held to refine the targets, plans
and programs for RY 2017-18 and beyond, including
adoption of new RI-approved flexibility options.
It is gratifying to have seen new faces, especially the
youngest members of Holy Spirit, very competently pre-
sent their parts of the plans & programs before DG Chito
and the visiting team. Just as significantly, they have ac-
cepted key roles in the club organization. These support
the main thrust of RCHS during this Great Rotary Year:
Accelerate the development of more club leaders.

 MESSAGES FROM ROTARY LEADERS
RI Presidents July 2017 Message
There are as many reasons to come to
Rotary as there are Rotarians maybe
even a few more. But each of us has
stayed in Rotary because it adds some-
thing to our own lives. Through Rotary,
we are Making a Difference in the world;
and the more involved we become, the
more of a difference Rotary makes to
each of us. Rotary challenges us to be-
come better people: to become ambitious
in the ways that matter, to strive for higher goals, and to in-
corporate Service Above Self into our daily lives.
What kind of difference Rotary clubs and individual Rotarians
make through their service will always be their own decision.
As an organization, we are guided by the three strategic pri-
orities our Board has set in our strategic plan: to support and
strengthen our clubs, to focus and increase our humanitarian
service, and to enhance Rotary's public image and aware-
ness.
In the year ahead, our clubs will have the support of a greatly of the power of one idea. A Rotarian shares an idea with his
augmented array of online tools, including a refreshed Ro-
tary.org, a simplified Rotary Foundation grant application
process, an improved My Rotary experience, and a rebuilt
Rotary Club Central. As we look to strengthen our clubs, two
specific challenges stand out in our membership: our gender
balance and our average age. To keep our clubs strong, we
need to build a membership that reflects the communities we
serve and that will continue to develop knowledgeable lead-
ers for generations to come.
For many years, one idea has stood at the heart of all our
service: sustainability. Sustainable service means our work
continues to have a positive impact long after Rotary's direct
involvement has ended. We don't dig wells and walk away;
we make sure communities can maintain and repair those
wells. If we build a clinic, we make sure that clinic has a way thoughts with me at paul.netzel@rotary.org. Ask yourself,
to keep running without ongoing support from us. And when
it comes to polio, we aren't working to contain it; we're work- to me?" How will you engage the Foundation to help you?
ing to end it.
Eradicating polio is the ultimate in sustainable service. It is I learned way back when. It seems like yesterday.
an investment that will yield not just a long-lasting but
a permanent benefit, on a global scale. It is and must remain
our No. 1 priority until the job is done.
For 112 years, Rotary has made a difference to more lives,
in more ways, than we can ever count or will ever know. To-
day, each of us bears a torch, its flame lit by Paul Harris, that
has been passed forward from generation to generation,
in Rotary: Making a Difference.
IAN H. S. RISELEY
President 2017-18
Foundation Chairmans July 2017 Message
The Foundation and the power of an idea
It seems like yesterday that I was 26 and
a brand-new member of Rotary. When I
missed my third meeting and failed to do
a makeup, my sponsor sat me down and
for the first time really explained the val-
ues of Rotary. I took his words to heart
and haven't missed a makeup since.
Now, 49 years later, almost to the day
as a proud member of the Rotary Club of
Los Angeles (LA5) I am honored and humbled to serve as
chair of the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation this year.
The Foundation started with a simple idea: to do good in the
world. One hundred years later, we know the story of what
happened as we have learned during this year's celebra-
tion of the Foundation's centennial.
During those years, Rotarians have raised and invested
more than $4.1 billion in thousands of programs, projects,
and scholarships. In short, the Foundation is a living history
or her club, and with the help of grant money from the
Foundation amazing things happen.
This is an exciting time to be a Rotarian. It's the first year of
The Rotary Foundation's second century, and we are on the
verge of participating in one of the most amazing accom-
plishments in human history: the eradication of polio. Thirty-
two years ago, PolioPlus began and served as a catalyst
that engaged Rotarians and partners worldwide. Today polio
is on track to become the second disease eradicated in hu-
man history. CNBC, a leading global media outlet, recently
ranked The Rotary Foundation third on its list of the "Top 10
Charities Changing the World."
In the coming months I look forward to discussing our Foun-
dation goals for the next year and beyond. Share your
"What can I do to help tackle an issue that's near and dear
Remember, all it takes is one person with an idea along
with a great organization and those timeless Rotary values
