My second experiences with Rotarians
I was really surprised to be invited as guest speaker of the Rotary Club (Rotary International) of Central Davao, District 3860 of Davao City
Time passed by… .
I was again surprised and really blessed and honoured to be invited (together with my wife Rose) by the President of the Rotary Club of East Davao, Mr. ‘Efren’ Elbanbuena (Government Information Service); by the way, the husband of Miss Pattie Elbanbuena, Executive Director of the Institute of Languages of the University of Southeastern Philippines, where I am teaching German language since two weeks.
During the 46th Weekly Luncheon meeting in the Marco Polo Hotel Davao City, I have been glad also to meet, among many others, Vicepresident Mr. ‘Ading’ Macatangay and Secretary Mr. ‘Tony’ Ajero’, former Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of SUN STAR DAVAO, or my German friend Mr. Peter Reger (Business and Economic Development Consultancy) as well as Mr. Reynaldo I. Reyes (Rural Banking) or BDO Banco de Oro Mindanao President Mr. Apollo Alquiza.
The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worth enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster.
I am really convinced to learn FIRST about the development of acquaitance as an opportunity for service and SECOND high ethical standard 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.
Foreign members are very welcome!
Thanks a lot to Efren and spouse Pattie!
