2010 Governor's Visit

2010 Governor's Visit - 6pm Galley Gril, el Grande Ave., BF Homes Paranaque

Barely a few months since induction, we were once again in the presence our beloved Governor Ed. This time it was specifically to see how our clubs has been doing.

There was huge traffic congestion at the South Superhighway so we had to wait for the our guest to arrive. While the Club was waiting, the very jovial group sang a birthday greeting to our second lakan member Barangay Captain Jeremy Marquez.

Once our dear Governor Ed arrived, President Thelma and him had their one on one session. We were all preparing for the next part of the program.

Other district guest started to arrive too, Deputy District Chair Maribel, District Chair Sally and our own Assistant Governor Lea. After the one on one session, President Thelma co proceeded to present the updates on our Presidential Citation and Globa; Awards.

On the Presidential Citation the club was well into the Club Service and Community Service portion and will have to complete the Vocational Service and International Service. We are very happy to note that Membership is doing very well as our won clubs contribution to The Rotary Foundation. We are on the way to receiving the coveted Presidential Citation with Distinction.

On the Global Awards, we are gunning for the Gold Award, District Chair Sally was even joking that we might reach Platinum.

It was good to see how well the club is doing despite some challenges along the way. But that is life, challenges make out lives exciting. We are again looking for the awards but also the reward of knowing that our club is doing very well over all.

After all the presentation we also took an opportunity to provided an International Toast to the Rotary Club of Orange in NSW Australia.

We also celebrated the birthday of our Governor Ed Alvarez with a song by the club.
