Plan for large-scale medical-dental-diagnostic mission is finalized

Preparations are underway for this years Gamot Para Sa Kapwa medical/dental/ diagnostic mission on February 9, 2013 at the Don Antonio Heights covered court and at the elderly center. A coordination meeting attended by representatives of SM Foundation Inc (SMFI), principal sponsors of the mission, Don Antonio Heights Homeowners Association (DAHHA), Greater Don Antonio Heights Senior Citizens Association Inc (GDAHSCAI), St Benedict Parish Pastoral Council (SBPPC), and RC Holy Spirit was held last January 25, 2013. Overall mission coordinator President Marcia presented an outline of responsibility assignments for each organization. SMFI will provide the mobile x-ray/ECG clinic, para-medical staff, and medicines. DAHHA will provide the venue, physical set-up, security, housekeeping and pre-registration of patients. GDAHSCAI will permit the use of the elderly center for the senior citizens. SBPPC will send some volunteers and provide additional chairs. For its part, RCHS has already invited doctors, dentists, nurses and will provide volunteers for registration and assistance to dentists, as well as provide food for all volunteers, estimated at 120. Our partners-in-service (Interact, Rotaract, RCC) will be on hand to assist during the mission, which aims to serve 1,500 patients from depressed areas in the community.

Principles that Guide Rotary

The Object of Rotary
First formulated in 1910, the Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society; THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life; FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

The Four-Way Test

Of the things we think, say or do

Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

ROTARIANS PLEDGE
I am a Rotarian
I will always uphold the TRUTH. I am a Rotarian I will always strive to be FAIR in all of my dealings with my fellowmen. I am a Rotarian I will always endeavor to build GOODWILL and UNDERSTANDING in my community, among my countrymen and people of all nations. I am a Rotarian I will always seek to promote the greatest good for the greatest number of people in the spirit of ROTARY SERVICE. I am a Rotarian I will always uphold the Rotary International Motto, SERVICE ABOVE SELF.

5 Avenues of Service
Based on the Object of Rotary, the Five Avenues of Service are Rotarys philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on which club activity is based:

Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functioning of the club. Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards. Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community. International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotarys humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding & peace. New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities, service projects, and exchange programs.

1. Exemplify the core value of integrity in all behaviors and activities
2. Use my vocational experience and talents to serve in Rotary 3. Conduct all of my personal, business, and professional affairs ethically, encouraging and fostering high ethical standards as an example to others 4. Be fair in all dealings with others and treat them with the respect due to them as fellow human beings 5. Promote recognition and respect for all occupations which are useful to society 6. Offer my vocational talents: to provide opportunities for young people, to work for the relief of the special needs of others, and to improve the quality of life in my community 7.

Rotarians and Dictionary volunteers!

I know, Rotarians and Dictionary volunteers, we're nagging. Well, it worked for your mother, didn't it? So, do it! And be sure the children look up the words they don't know in the Four Way Test (See the first page of the dictionary, for those of you who weren't at the labeling event.). Delivering dictionaries does indeed "Build goodwill and better friendships" and is "Beneficial to all concerned." Contact Wes Westerfield for more information: wesw1@me.com.

Early Rotary HistoryAbout the Founders

On 23 February 1905, Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey gathered in Loehrs office for what would become known as the first Rotary club meeting. Harriss desire for camaraderie among business associates brought together these four men and eventually led to an international organization of service and fellowship. Read about each of the first four Rotarians below, and about Harry L. Ruggles, who is often called the "fifth Rotarian." Rotarys founder, Paul Harris , was born in Wisconsin, USA, on 19 April 1868. He was raised by his paternal grandparents in Vermont and attended the University of Vermont, Princeton, and the University of Iowa. He was Rotary president from 1910 to 1912 and a member of the Rotary Club of Chicago until his death on 27 January 1947. Gustavus Loehr , a mining engineer, was born on 18 October 1864 in Carlinville, Illinois. He was a Rotarian for only a few years, never holding office at the club or international level. But that first Rotary meeting was held in his office, Room 711 of the Unity Building in downtown Chicago. He died in Chicago on 23 May 1918.
