Hello all and my warm wishes for a Happy New
Year!
Welcome to our first meeting of the year. As I am
travelling at the moment, a big thank-you goes out to
PE John for running this meeting, and to Sec. Edwin
for representing our club at tomorrow’s BCP break-
fasts meeting.
It was indeed a busy December for our club. Kudos goes to the
spouses’ committee for a well-organized and fun-filled club Christmas
party, and to PP Diony , PP Andy, PP Rolf, and PP Tony for a fulfilling
traditional RCM gift-giving at the archbishop’s palace. Did you know
we distributed over 200 packets at that event? Thank you too to CP
Mila and PP Tony for inviting our club to participate at the RCGM gift-
giving held at the Greenhills Shopping Center, and for the additional
soccer balls and shirts we gave out at our event. It was truly heartwarm-
ing to contribute during the season of giving.
December also saw the launch of our DRAP project with the Philippine
Red Cross, which aims to provide 34 Public Schools and 27 Manda-
luyong barangays with the ability to prepare for and respond to calami-
ties. Together with the Mandaluyong Red Cross branch, PP Albert and
myself are working out the budgets and logistics as we speak, and I can
write more about this project in forthcoming issues. We are joined in
this project by most Mandaluyong-based RC clubs, and this is envi-
sioned to be a two-year program.

As I reflect back on the past 6 months of this Rotary year, I am amazed
at how much our club has done. To date, we have mentored foreign
students, heard speakers on K-12 reform and maternal and child care,
participated in two medical missions and one dental mission, conducted
and participated in two gift-giving events for the less fortunate, spon-
sored a new club, appeared in a TV program and adopted a “wish ko
lang” child, helped test the concepts of urban gardening, built a kitchen
for MPNAG, hosted foreign delegations, extended a hand of friendship
to our sister clubs, helped organize the District Youth Expo, partici-
pated in three global grants, examined how we can be of help to people
with disabilities (PWDs) and the blind, and generally extended support
to our district events. PP Rolf gifted his son with a Paul Harris fellow-
ship, while PP Nap is in the process of doing something somewhat
similar. Our Facebook page has grown from zero to 134 regular follow-
ers, and our posting reach has gone from zero to a high of 251 people in
December. We did all this amongst the camaraderie and fellowship
that characterizes our club.
As we look forward to the next six months, we still hope to activate our
last-mile funding program for students, implement our speaker series,
close out our MPNAG kitchen program, begin our DRAP project, re-
cruit members to grow our club, and maintain our 100% EREY and
sustaining member status. By doing so, we can truly remain one of the
strongest clubs in the district and I know we can do it!
With these in mind, we do have a lot going on as we strive to “LIGHT
UP ROTARY” in the final stretch of this Rotary year. Do keep in step
by checking http://bit.ly/rcmanda for our facebook page, http://bit.ly/
rcmcalendar for our calendar, or http://bit.ly/rcmmag for our Magdalo
issues.
Cheers and a happy new year to all of us!

Happy new year to all fellow Rotarians.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish every
one of us a fruitful new year ahead and more good
health.
Since our beloved President is on leave today, I have the honor to con-
duct our first meeting of the year.
Looking at all the activities line up in the beginning of this year, I know
immediately that this will be a colourful and exciting year ahead for all
our club officers and Rotarians alike. I do hope that those who were
busy last year can be more active this year in joining our various activi-
ties to experience the joy of being a true Rotarian in rendering services
to his community and helping others selflessly.
In the same token, being your humble treasurer, I would also like to
request that all of us settle our obligation early this year without the
reminders of our secretariat. It is an important step to take in showing
your support to our club. Considering the fact that there are still a sig-
nificant number of our members still haven’t settle their dues since last
year, more concrete steps will be taken in our collection efforts in the
coming weeks to ensure that our club activities will be sufficiently
funded.
Let’s enjoy the prestige of being a Rotarian in our club and show the
other club why we are one of the best club in our district.

TIE A YELLOW RIBBON
I'm comin' home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter tellin' you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me
If you still want me
CHORUS:
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the old oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
Bus driver, please look for me
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison, and my love she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
I wrote and told her this:
REPEAT CHORUS
Now the whole damn bus is cheering
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the old oak tree
I'm comin' home
