Finding fulfillment

This corner wishes to sincerely thank the active membership who participated in our Club’s opening salvo, where we gave Vitamin A supplement to approximately 8,300 pre-school and Grade 1 pupils and distributed computers to 13 public elementary schools. In the coming weeks, we hope to see more members joining as we embark on a massive de-worming activity in the different barangays of the city. We learned that 80 percent of the present malnutrition cases have been caused by parasitism. We likewise thank Auditors Lino Fernandez and Danny Desola for graciously hosting a sumptuous lunch during the project launch. This also goes to Sgt.-at-arms Jessie Doria, who also unselfishly tendered another sumptuous lunch after the Vitamin A Patak distribution in his area. Of course, many thanks, too, to my ever supportive family – my wife, Katherine and children, Katrina, Anton and Lucky – for their full support to our projects. The vigorous participation of PP/Sec. Edwin Aguirre, Dir. Joey Tamayo, VP/PE Jessie Romero, CS1 Jorge Perreras, PRO Lito Aficial, PP/PO Leon Palaganas, Asst. Sec. Vic Patawaran, Aud. Danny Sison, Sgt.-at-arms Joy Ramos, PP/PO Robert Erfe-Mejia, Sgt.-at-arms Marcel Novales, VS Arnel Dimasuay, Jerry Tulfo, Joseph Barrozo, CS Rudy Ramos, Treas. Jad Damaso and August Sim have been also noted. And, of course, we are grateful to the effort of the Inner Wheel Club of Dagupan through Precy Nava, my wife, Katherine; the Soroptimist International, with my Mom Mina, Sally Gutierrez and Ellen Callanta. It is indeed heartwarming to see many people like you rallying behind a noble cause. Your support and participation continue to fuel our Club to keep it in tip-top shape in delivering goods and services to make a difference in the life of every people that the Rotary touches. In giving and sharing we always find fulfillment.

Hi from Australia,I have been trying to find out how dagupan came out of the earthquake damage etc. I was an exchange student in 1979 with your club and have always remembered the families who hosted me and wondered how things went for them.I continued to travel and work when young,so mail never caught up with me in time -no internet then. Back in Aust. now with family etc.I hear Precy Nava is continuing work with the innerwheel. She taught me the 'Tinikling'.It would be good to hear some news. Glad to see the club is still going strong. Kathy katheterussell@hotmail.com.au
