A very happy new year to you all! I hope everyone had a joyous time with their families and loved ones during the holiday season. But now we are back to the world of service and fellowship that is Rotary. We are going to have a very busy January as it will be the last month wherein the projects we will be conducting would be included in our bid books for the District awards, although surely it doesn't mean we will be ending our service to our fellowmen after this month.  It is in this regard that I would like to take the opportunity to encourage you, my fellow Rotarians to please give more of your time and effort in accomplishing this goal as your leaders are also limited by their work and family. It is through teamwork that we may move to accomplish the goal of giving the best service to our community.

Many members and past presidents have promised their all out support not just to me but also to other past president elects and so far a lot of those remains just like that, as promises. Let's try to fulfill those promises as this is not just for the individuals leading the club but it is for our beloved club. Without the working members, this club will be just like any other club of no significance.
