GARCIA iii DISTRICT 3800 MIDYEAR REVIEW Your Majesties: Again, let me reiterate my congratulations and extreme gratitude to RC Metro Marikina for a great hosting of the Mid Year Review that we had yesterday. Everyone performed well under the baton of PP Raul Evange- lista and under the watchful badgering by PP Carla Dejeres. The planning organized by SDG Luz Cotoco was the best. And of course, our facilitator par-excellence SDG Maricris Lim Pineda was in her element! She showed everyone how to self-evaluate their performance to determine what each had to do to meet their committed goals and objectives. Congratulations! Maraming Salamat! Mabuhay kayong lahat! ON TRF CONTRIBUTION and MEMBERSHIP Your Majesties and Fellow D3800 Rotarians: Please read page 4 of the latest RI Region 7 and 8 newsletter. Thanks to all your efforts, we are leading the way! We are the highest giving and have the highest per capita among districts in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and the Philippines! We are 9 clubs away from being a 100% giving district. Almost 50 clubs are EREY clubs. 10 clubs are 100% Paul Harris and more than 10 will achieve 100% Sustaining Member Club status. In Membership Growth, almost 10 clubs have achieved 100% growth! We should have at least 20 clubs achieving 100% by the end of our term! More than 10 small clubs have reached charter strength! At least 25 clubs will reach charter strength by June 30, 2012. Two clubs have been set up to make up for the two that we lost and two more are in the works including our second eClub.Our goal this year is to have a total growth of 500 new members or a 25% total growth! Konti na lang, nandoon na tayo! Nothing will keep us from our destiny! We will make Rotary History! YHSL DG RAFAEL M. GARCIA III GML 2011 - 2012 3 District 3800 MIDYEAR REVIEW 2012 PP Carla Dejeres - RC Marikina West A CELEBRATION OF MIDYEAR SUCCESSES All roads led to Valle Verde Country Club on January 21, 2012, as RI District 3800 Rotarians entered the hall to the festive tune of Papa Americano to celebrate their clubs' midyear successes. District Governor Rafael "Raffy" Garcia III opened the event while District Chair Raul Evan- gelista of RC Metro Marikina, welcomed the participants. This was followed by DG Raffy's inspirational message in which he reminded the Rotarians of their commitments to double the clubs' memberships and The Rotary Foun- dation contributions.

GML 2011 - 2012 5 DISTRICT 3800 MEMBERSHIP STATUS REPORT Your Majesties: We are monitoring our membership growth figures. As you are aware, we are off and soaring with our TRF contri- butions. However, although almost all clubs had committed to 100% growth and were supposed to report this by November 1, 2011, it seems that RI figures are slow in being posted. So far, D3800 only has 2,102 registered Rotar- ians. That makes us one of the smaller districts in the Philippines, falling behind D3820 with 2,641, D3790 with 2,569, D3830 with 2,483, D3780 with 2,284, D3810 with 2,249, and D3860 with 2,238. We are only bigger than D3770 with 1,452, D3850 with 1,288 and D3870 with 1,137. Let's go, Your Majesties! Our goal is to hit 4,500 by December 31, 2011! I know you can all do it! Let's register all your recruits NOW!!! YHSL DG RAFAEL M. GARCIA III Subject: Zone 7A Membership Status Report as of 31 December 2011 15 January 2012 Dear Fellow Rotary Leaders of Zone 7A (Philippines & Indonesia): Happy Chinese New Year! 恭 恭 恭 恭 We have just completed the first half of RY 2011-12 and it is the best time for us to review our accomplishments with respect to our over-all plan, objectives and targets for this year. RI Pres. Kalyan challenges us to “Reach Within to Embrace Humanity” so that our Districts and Clubs will be Bigger, Better and Bolder … and Greener in providing service to our less fortunate fellowmen. In his January 2012 message, he also challenges us to prepare our Clubs for the coming of a polio-free world, where “we have to be ready for it with a powerful Rotary – a Rotary of enthusiasm and confidence, of bold vision and clear ambitions. It is time for us to prepare by taking an honest look at our Clubs. Are our projects meaningful, sustainable and relevant? Are our meetings productive and enjoyable? Are our Clubs welcoming to new members, and are our schedules and events friendly to young families? And once people join us, do we welcome them properly, involve them enough? Do we make them a part of the family of Rotary quickly enough?” A major gauge on our preparedness is the membership in our Clubs and Districts at the end of the 1st Semester of this RY 2011-12. In a separate file, I have summarized the status of our 6-month membership development cam- paign from 1 July 2011 to 31 December 2011, as follows: Our Zone 7A registered a net growth of 1,287 new members (+6%) and 17 new and/or reinstated Clubs (+2%), when compared to our start-year figures of 21,234 members and 886 Clubs.
