Message from the President

Another Year has passed us by and the members of Central Mactan made this year an enjoyable productive year.

It was only with the support of the members that we succeeded in that task. I will introduced new innovative ways to market our projects and work closely with the District’s assistant Governor following our 3 Year Plan as our guide for an effective rotary year both for our short and long term goals. We implemented successful projects that address the needs of our communities.

In just a short time I became the recipient of The Most Outstanding President Award and as a club we rose above our issues. Our club received The Most Outstanding Water Project Award and the Most Outstanding Service Community Project Award on a Zone level and then we received the Most Outstanding Water and Sanitation Award in the Visayas. Followed by fifteen or so Outstanding Certificate Awards by the District.

I am happy to have had the opportunity to serve as the President of the Club and to serve our community through the members.

I was proud that we were chosen as the first club to have our Project headlined in this year’s First addition on the Governor’s Monthly Newsletter.

We set up the club’s First International Sistership the Rotary Club of   Capital City Sunrise Club # 6647, District 7870

None of the events would have been possible without the enthusiasm and help from the members of our Rotary Club. Every one of us have contributed differently but equally to the success of this year. Without fervent or fervor, together with your spouses and friends who made their own contributions without asking for anything in return. The pride and joy for this Rotary Years is yours alone but we will keep the memories for ourselves.

I wish to thank all of you for your dedication and ask for your dedication once again to assist the new incoming officers another fruitful year.

Yours in Rotary

Past President David Poley
