Gerard Audineau Last week, your President was at the DISTAS in Dagupan with IP Raffy and his team of Directors. It is the reason why our Board of Directors has decided to take the opportunity of the fellowship party at my house last Friday evening to do our regular meeting as outdoor meeting. May is “Public Relations Month” and it is good to note that our Golf Tournament last Saturday, April 28 has been good Public Relation for our Club. Indeed, IP Raffy has made this Golf tournament a successful one by the important number of sponsors who supported our annual fund raising event. I hope that RC Baguio will continue to be well known among the businessmen of the City of Baguio. Membership Development I will continue to insist on the importance for the search of new members for us to maintain dynamism in our club. By bringing in younger members, we can expect new ideas, more dynamism in our activities and this addition will assure the perenniality of the club. Vocational Service The last work for this Rotary Year is the installation of a Rotary Marker along Marcos Highway, on the corner of the road going to Poyopoy and Luding where we have our adopted village. Community Service The last medical mission of this Rotary Year 2006-07 will be done on Friday, May 11 in Poyopoy/Luding to make sure that all particularly the little children are in good condition to restart their school year. Please register today with Maritess and be at the meeting point at BGH Petron station by 8:00 AM so that we could go all there together. PN/VP Bert Talco has finished his consultation with the different suppliers for our Luding Water System Project, and now we are starting the works for our Matching Grant No. 60223. We have to send soon our first report to our District Matching Grant Chair PP Gloria Netherccut and to our foreign partner - the Rotary Club of Cannes. Literacy Rtn. Charles Kang has sent me the information about our 3 foreign clubs partner and the signatures of their Presidents for the Matching Grant No. 61459 for the purchase of a Braille embosser. The Agreement Form when accomplished will be sent to Grant Coordinator Meredith Burlew. Our partner clubs just need to complete their payments and send us the pay slip so that we could send it to TRF to complete the process. Our Korean partners have requested to come to Baguio for the ceremony of the delivery of the Braille embosser to the Institute of Inclusive Education which will be done when we receive the money from TRF and the purchase of the Braille embosser, we hope to accomplish this before June’s end. International We have done good progress on the third Matching Grant concerning the supply of computers to Poyopoy Elementary School, Taloy Norte and SPED for deaf, and for which we want to send to TRF the application Form on 01 July 2007. Indeed we have received an Email from Governor John Rowe, Rotary International District 3500 in Port Pirie, South Australia, requesting to receive the electronic form of our Application Form given on paper to PP Bob Ward, to complete it on their side. Governor John told us that he believed that he has found support from one of the Clubs in his District to be our second foreign partner. AG Linda confirmed that it will be the Rotary Club of Clare Valley in South Australia. We have to send now the electronic application form to our two foreign partners to fill their part and apply the signatures of their representatives. RCB Golf Tournament The RCB 11th Golf Tournament has been a success. IP Raffy and his Golf Tournament committee have done a good job and everything went very well - the important number of sponsors, the golf tournament, the putting contest, the awarding, the raffle and a good dinner with good Burgundy red wine and good alcohols. Thank you to all our members who supported IP Raffy for the Hole Sponsorship and the raffle prices. Congratulations to the RCB member golfers and their Anns who played for this tournament and the ones who had good performance, as Treas. Adviser Ike Dulnoan, IPP Mike Pearson, RA Nitz Palma and your obedient servant. 2 PRESIDENT’S CORNER (Continued from page 2...) The registration table of RCB Awards and raffle prices District Affair The DISTAS has been successful as we have had five very interesting GHS, and it is not often that all the GHS are very good. There were more than 600 participants and everybody appreciated the GHS, the workshops, the good food, the raffle and the following fellowship. You can see that the Barong of the Presidents for the RY 2007-08 is far more pleasant, but our time is nearly finished. Please do not forget to register with Maritess for our Year End Review in Dagupan on 02 June 2007. The fees are P 600.00 until May 18 and P 800 later. PE Raffy, PN/VP Bert, Sec. Ben and RA Sec. Cely, Treas. Marilyn, Dir. Uwe, Dir. Mai and I have registered and paid during the DISTAS. Please, it should be good for our club to have a good number of representatives to support our Governor Bishop Cinense for his last District event. Fellowships I thank a lot all our members who came with their family on my birthday party last Friday, May 04. I hope that everyone enjoyed it. (see page 10) I would like to remind you that our Family Day meeting this May will be done on Saturday, May 26 in GEO Farm, the farm of our successful GHS Ed Guevara last Saturday, April 21, Bgy.

Tee-off time started promptly at 6:30 AM, as previously set. A total of 45 golfers participated— to compete for the many trophies at stake. Aside from golfers from RCB, a number of out-of-town Rotarians joined us. The culmination of the event was the Evening Awarding which was tone-set with cocktails at 6:00 PM at the BCC Rooftop. Sixty Rotarians, Anns, Rotakids and guests enjoyed the evening party which began at 6:30 PM with a generous evening buffet. Trophies and a good number of raffle prizes guaranteed that all in attendance went home with a wide smile. Many thanks to all who made our event a resounding success.

And although brewed coffee tastes better, instant coffee takes less time to prepare and also does take care of the job, perking you up in the morning. How could I refuse my first cousin, Treasurer Marilyn Barredo? She’s supposed to do our In Retrospect article but she took over Program Coordinator, a very important part of our meeting, so she couldn’t do both at the same time and give justice and proper attention to each task at hand. So she sought help from family (read, yours truly). Rotarians should always be like that, because we’re also a “family”. They are ready to pitch in, lend a hand, and help one another out at a moment’s notice. I remember having read in the autobiography of a famous Hollywood actress, Audrey Hepburn, who once said, “God gave us two hands, the right one to help ourselves, and the left hand to help others.” Today’s meeting started ten minutes late, called to order by President Gerard at 12:40. It was Ladies Day, but you’d think otherwise because there were only 2 RotaryAnns among us, namely RA President Maylene Dayrit and the better half of President Gerard, RotaryAnn Terry Audineau. Invocation was piously done by President Maylene, followed by our Philippine National Anthem sung energetically by all members. Next up was our Rotary Hymn, sung by all in a circle formation, hand in hand, with the link between Rotarian Pam Perkins and myself being broken late into the song to accommodate a late entry into the circle, Secretary Ben Ladilad. Entertainment came up next with the vivacious and bubbly President Maylene singing “The way we were” acapella, intrepid and gutsy in her melodius voice. That’s just the way I like it. PP Johnny Zarate did the honors to introduce the head table and visiting personalities. Next at the podium came Rotarian Emil Dayrit as Fine Master and he complimented about RCB 11th Golf Tournament with 60 % of the sponsors being solicited by Incoming President Raffy Chan. President Maylene, with a little help from our program coordinator, did the Raffle draw of tumblers and seat covers, and among the winners were Bert Talco, Joe Ramos, Herb Meadows, Uwe Koller, Marilyn Barredo, Ben Ladilad and yours truly. Members Time saw PP Diony Claridad making a pitch for attendance for the Golf Fellowship night, intriguingly starting his sentence by saying “If you want to see more of me tonight….” Rotarian Joey Bugayong updated the club about the medical condition of our very own Rotarian Andre Sommereaux, admitted into SLU Hospital. President Gerard announced that the last medical mission for his term would be held on May 11 at Poyopoy, Marcos Highway. He also announced that the DISTAS 2007 for IP Raffy Chan would be held in Dagupan next week at the Leisure Coast Resort. Then we all sang an impromptu Happy Birthday for Cely Ladilad. Moving on to the more serious part of the program saw Director Uwe Koller introducing our baby Rotarian, Dhory Vicencio doing her Classification Talk on “Sales, Mall Operation”. She is a Marketing and Management Degree holder from College of the Holy Spirit. She works with Pacific Land, owners of Abanao Square, as their Mall Operations Manager. She is what you call a Property Management consultant, and although we were unable to view an audio-video clip on Abanao Square that she brought over but was unable to connect to the internet, Rotarian Dhory extemporaneously did her talk with much enthusiasm and passion, ending up by singing the Abanao Square jingle. It was nice to get to know more about our baby Rotarian Dhory. The question and answer portion came up and our GHS was asked whether she had her own Property Management consultancy because Rotarian Cecile Apostol would like to patronize Dhory’s company. Our club response was given by Rotarian Flo Bayquen who said RCB was blessed because we had our Classification speaker as one of our members. Meeting was adjourned a couple of minutes before 2 PM, to end another fruitful and enjoyable RC Baguio fellowship. 8 SCENES WE LIKE TO SEE Images From Last Week’s Meeting 28 April 07 Images by Captions by Sec.

Uwe Koeller AEIC Dhory Vicencio EVENT SYNOPSIS May 04, 2007 was marked in our calendar as our President had invited us to celebrate his birthday in his lovely home. The affair started early as the invitation stated 5:00 PM. Rotarians, Anns, Rota-Kids and friends gathered around the swimming pool and enjoyed the dinks and tête-à-tête. A brief meeting was also conducted with the Member’s Time and President’s Message as the main agenda. Dinner followed and we took our preferred places. Some stayed around the swimming pool while others stayed inside the house. A surprise guest entertained us with lovely songs and thereafter we entertained ourselves with jokes and impromptu song and dance numbers. It was a fun-filled evening and a real celebration with family and friends. A toast to our President Gerard! The birthday celebrant giving the President’s message during his birthday party / RCB meeting. The casual group of RCB gentlemen in casual attire and in casual conversation. Rotarians and Anns are serious and attentive during the official part evening’s affair. Gentlemen and ladies are enjoying the cool breeze, pleasant company, good humor and drinks. A surprise entertainment guest, Mr. Chinggoy Alonzo rendered fantastic song performances.

Author Unknown Contributed by: EIC John Cunanan EIC John Cunanan This week the much awaited sequel of Spiderman swings into theaters nationwide with a twist on Peter Parker’s devotion to MJ and his duties as a superhero. With new villains out to get him, the story’s plot focuses on Peter’s transformation with his suit changes to jetblack and enhancing his powers, propelling the vengeful side of his personality that he is struggling to control. Possessing greater power, he became overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care for him most. Peter’s dilemma is a classic example among us about the continuing battle of good and evil. Every single day, we are faced with circumstances that we need to make a choice. The process of making that choice lies the battle… whether you being a Rotarian, a business man, an employee, father or a mother, a friend, a politician …the battle to do good or evil (to do wrong) takes place in making that every decision. Sometimes we just ignore it and convinced ourselves that we just did what needed to be done. But oftentimes, the consciousness of doing what is right or wrong is right there in front of us like a mirror reflecting who we really are. In simple cases for us Rotarians, the battle lies in these questions: 1. Shall I give my support to the President and his Board? (Whoever those leaders might be even though you don’t like them.) 2. Shall I get my self involve with the club’s service and community programs? 3. I don’t like some members of the club; shall I say negative things about them? 4. Being a Rotarian is tough (especially in RCB) shall I quit? The good thing about being a Rotarian is that we have solid guiding principles that challenge the very core of our character…which always brings us to – The Four Way Test. On Monday, it’s National Election once again and we will be making choices of whom to vote for, a selection amongst the good and evil. It’s not easy, life has never been. We can only hope that the goodness of Rotary will transcend our politics and that Rotarians will remain shining examples of those who’s winning in the fight against evil. Like Spiderman, most of the times the battle takes place within. A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed: “Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen.” God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man’s wish. The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, then drove home to put away the groceries, paid the bills and balanced the check book. He cleaned the cat’s litter box and bathed the dog. Then it was already 1P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and Mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 PM. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren’t finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint. The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: Lord, I don’t know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife’s being able to stay home all day. Please, oh! oh! please, let us trade back.” The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied: “My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You’ll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night.” 11 FEAT URE District’s novel approach to leadership development fuses personal growth, Rotary ethics. Interview by: Joseph Derr Past RI Vice President Sonny Brown (right) meets with Bob Ellis, a past governor who has served as a district trainer of RI District 5890 at a recent Institute for Leadership. Photo courtesy of Sonny Brown, 30 March 2007 To foster the development of leadership skills and increase awareness about Rotary at the club level, the RI Board recently created the optional club-level trainer position. RI provides basic guidelines, but how clubs and districts implement the program is limited only by their own creativity. During the past two years, members of two Rotary clubs in El Paso, Texas, USA, have developed a unique training program called the Institute for Leadership, which focuses on cultivating individuals as leaders and fuses Rotary values with personal growth concepts. The two-day leadership development seminar was developed by a Rotarian team that includes Past RI Vice President Irving J. “Sonny” Brown and three professional leadership trainers (all past club presidents and a governor-elect). Though initially planned for Rotarians alone, the training program is now offered as a community service to other organizations or individuals. The institute can help serve the community and attract prospective members to join a Rotary club. How does it all work? We sat down with Brown to find out. Q: Why did you create the Institute for Leadership training program? A: We wanted to provide Rotarians with a personal growth experience that would serve them not only in Rotary but also in their family, business, and community — without great expense and time. Q: Who participates? A: The program is uniquely Rotarian, but not only for Rotarians. We want to promote Rotary as an avenue for personal growth to all members and prospective members. For Rotarians, we try to inspire and awaken greater passion for leading and serving through Rotary. We want Service Above Self to come alive in every Rotarian. Q: What’s on the agenda? A: We don’t deal with Rotary club management or Rotary information, but rather focus on Rotary values such as ethics and leadership. Our interactive exercises cover subjects such as collective potential, building rapport and teamwork, leadership styles, coaching and development, leadership commitment, the art of listening, and leading by example. We also incorporate essential Rotary values, such as The Four-Way Test, the Object of Rotary, and the Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and Professions. Q: What inspired you and your colleagues to develop this program? A: Most of the organizers have been involved in RYLA for years. Of course, RYLA focuses on fostering youth leadership, but all Rotarians who are personally involved in RYLA find their own leadership skills become greatly enhanced at the same time. So we thought to ourselves, “Why not offer a ‘RYLA for Rotarians’?” It was an exciting prospect! Since we began planning in November 2001, over 200 participants have graduated, and more than 30 have become Rotary club presidents. Other participants have become officers or board members of their clubs. We have been actively promoting the program in neighboring districts, and currently five districts have started their own program. Attending the most recent event [16-17 March] were representatives of three Rotary districts from Oklahoma, Arizona, and another Texas district. Incoming Director Phil Silvers joined this latest group as a participant. Q: How does the program help Rotary? A: As individual Rotarians develop their leadership skills and enhance their personal growth, they gain a deeper understanding of Rotary values. All of that serves to build Rotary’s future. Rotarians who invest two days in our program gain a lifetime understanding of who they are as leaders. We help them identify skills that will enable them to perform as leaders at the highest possible level. Most importantly, the meeting helps participants discover themselves and the brings out the great potential that is within each Rotarian. Q: How can others get involved? A: Just contact me via an e-mail. We have an open invitation to any district to send representatives to our seminars, so that they gain a personal understanding of the benefit and the challenge of starting such a program. The program has been so successful in its designed format that we are excited to share it with districts that wish to start their own event. It all starts with training facilitators who have participated in one of our seminars. To assist other districts in starting the program, we are very willing to send members of our team to assure that the training of their trainers is complete. Follow-up support is always available, as may be requested. 12 OUR PARTNERS IN SERVICE 13 OUR PARTNERS IN SERVICE Baguio Achievers’ Academy Compliments from Secretar y Ben Ladilad Maya Peralta - Treasurer & Rotary Ann Cely Ladilad “…opens the world to children and prepares them for life!” On our 9th year of Quality Education!
