The RC Makati-Mckinley Awards night and leadership turnover was held last June 17, 2009 at the Tower Club, Philamlife Tower, Makati City. This was officially the last business meeting that Real Good Pres. Bing presided over before handing the reins of leadership to Smiling Visionary Pres. Mike. This also marks the end of Rotary Year 2008 – 2009 for the club.
Prior to relinquishing club leadership, Pres. Bing gave an emotional speech where he recounted his experience as president of the club – his trials, tribulations, and ultimate success. Several of the club members noted that Pres. Bing was already tearing up and choking back his tears as he thanked God and spouse Julie for their unwavering and unconditional support during his presidency. Pres. Bing then called on PE Mike and wished him good luck in his term of office. PE Mike thanked Pres. Bing for being such an inspirational leader and pledged that he will do his best to continue on the success of the club.
The highlight of the night was the presentation of the club awards to members for their exceptional contribution to the success of RY 2008-2009 plans and programs. The most prestigious and coveted prize of – Most Outstanding Member – was given to PP Ces and PE Mike. Both men had met the criteria of being a recipient of the 100% attendance award in either of the two semesters of RY 2008 – 2009; had fully paid membership dues; had recruited at least one new member; and had a received at least one other club award.
