This joint project was able to touch the lives of more than 300 people around the Agustinian Sisters along Mother Spinelli Orphanage community. There was even a gift giving session for the orphans late in the afternoon.

After the service project, club members had a very relaxing time eating menudo, vegetables, crispy pata, barbeque, lumpia shanghai while looking from high ground at Taal Volcano/Lake. It was service project and outing rolled into one. We especially enjoyed the “Fernandez Singing Trio” which songs from recent artists such as Lady Gaga!

Our sincere thanks to IPP Mike for the medicines courtesy of Pharex, PP Ces, Secretary Rico, Lady Hester and the rest of the Rotary Clubs which participated in this memorable event.

We therefore wish that more Rotarians and members will join us in our future service projects as these will really help those who have less in life.

Enrico Cano — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 06:55:39 +0000

President Ronnie donated two boxes of the Dole Tomato Sauce to PP Cherry last Sunday 25 July where she distributed them to 2 community organizations.

The recipient of the first box was the Mother Serafina Rotary Community Corps (RCC) of our club. Its members are basically the volunteer parents of the students and the volunteer workers at the “Sisters of the Angels” Convent.

The recipient of the the second box was the Miraculous Medal Family Center which oversees the various communities surrounding their parish. Although unofficial, this is almost like our adopted community because it has been the beneficiary of several projects such as our club’s Pan de Nash Bakeshop Project, the donation of the sacks of Milo powdered drinks, and the Meal from the Heart/ School Supplies Joint Project with our Sister Club in Brunei.

Sister Luz Jael, D.C. has been replaced by Sister Letty Derilo, D.C. Incidentally, Sister Lettty will appreciate assistance in the restoration of the roofing materials of their parish center.

Mother Serafina and Miraculous Medal Family Center extended their heartfelt appreciation for our club’s donation.
