January 09, 2020 Dear fellow Rotarians Happy New Year! Last 2019 was another great year for RCC, we ended it up with a series of activities before we savored the yuletide holiday break with our families. From a very successful Cadre Visit and GOL VTT Mission 6.0, Ride-to-End Polio after party with the support team, Governor's Night that RCC bagged the Biggest Delegation of the night, RCC Christmas Dinner, to the joyous CSYGC Annual Christmas Party celebration with RCC. Though we started the year losing one of our member, Rotarian Eduardo Gonzalez who embraced already with our Creator. Let's continue to pray for his soul together with rest of our departed ones. On the brighter side, we kickstart the year with a generous donation from RCC members and friends to help one of the devasted school in Daan Bantayan caused by Typhoon Ursula. Thank you, PP Bernard Sia who spearheaded this mission, together with Sec. Walter, Dir. Ed Tan Ting, AG Stephen and Rotarian Bobong Castillo. Come Mar 5-7, 2020 is our DisCon to be hosted by District 3860 here in Cebu at Cebu Grand Convention Center and June 6-10 the RI Convention in Honolulu. All members are enjoined to register and participate with these two big ticket activities. Kindly see our viber group for you to sign-up. Cheers! Michael P.

Many new Rotarians each year join for the same reason I did — because Rotary is a great way to benefit your career. When I was a new attorney starting out in Alabama, Gay and I became partners in her father's firm. He instilled in us the value of joining Rotary as a way to build relationships and demonstrate to potential clients that we were serious professionals who held firm to values even more robust than what our profession required. Rotary's commitment to vocational service is built on the highest ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful work, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society. That last point is so important. No matter our profession, we all contribute mightily to the world when we conduct our work with integrity and always adhere to The Four-Way Test. I have made balancing the demands of Rotary with professional and family commitments one of my priorities as president. No Rotarian should feel pressured to put in more time than a volunteer position should ever demand. This is true for several reasons, one of them being that the work we do in our day jobs is just as important to Rotary as the work we do in the organization. We carry our Rotary values everywhere, and our professional success helps build a case for Rotary every day we go into the office. This is particularly important in our efforts to reach younger new members. We want to see a Rotary where no one is ever asked to choose between being a good Rotarian and being a good parent, business owner, manager, or employee. When we ask busy young people to join us, we should not be asking them to give up their time and freedom. We should be rewarding them with an experience that …..continue next page P a g e | 3 OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF RC CEBU www.rotarycebu.org RY 2019-2020 makes everything they already do even more inspiring. Providing greater balance within Rotary will have another benefit as well: It will create opportunities for other Rotarians, including Rotaractors, to step up and take a leadership role on projects and committees. This will ensure that they remain engaged in our clubs and inspired to be Rotarians for life. Throughout the world, Rotary is admired for its vocational service and for the time- honored values we instill in all business relationships. As we continue our work to grow Rotary, let us remember that vocational service remains a crucial selling point to potential members.
