What Are We In Power For?
By
Dennis Valdes


Welcome back, everybody! I hope everyone had a restful and safe Holy Week. It’s been quite a break from RCMA – two weeks. It was a splendid time to just think and reflect on the Rotary Year and see what we’ve done, what we have left to do…

It’s been an exciting first nine months. We’ve accomplished almost everything we set out to do. The goals were to grow the membership base and to get contributions to TRF. Those we did and how. The 20 Baby Rotarians we have that have been so active in the club are really the lifeblood of RCMA in the years to come.

One key private goal I had is to make sure that the club is turned over in good hands and is well-positioned for the next Rotary Year. Seeing the camaraderie and effort everyone put into the 4th Paul Harris Cup was great! It makes me feel that the new administration of PKC is all set to take over – any time you’re ready guys!

Of course, with all the golf over the holiday, there really wasn’t much room for a lot of reflection, so I’ll just get off that memory podium and get on with it.

Now we’re all ready for the last quarter of the year. Our focus will be on fellowships and getting to know each other better. To start off, the RCMA Board will be meeting this year to plan a menu of fellowships for the rest of the year. These activities will include old standbys like President’s Cups and other golf fellowships, Cigar Nights, Quarterly Birthday Bashes, etc., etc.

In addition, we’re planning a Dual Meet with RC Angeles Centro and a visit to RC Tsuen Wan in May for their Charity Ball.

Then of course, we cap all this off with a Grand Sports Night and Turnover in June. That will be the party to end all parties so everyone should watch out for it.

Today we welcome two excellent golfers for breakfast, Mr. Brobio and Mr. Villaroman, who will share their golfing experiences with us. Enjoy your breakfasts, all!
