Counting days to Christmas...

Everybody are preparing and planning to how and where to celebrate the special holiday with the family, friends, employees, and with the community our club shall spare humble services to.

To “Light-up a Tree” is one of the community projects our club has participated for the first time in Surigao City chaired by Sec. Araya Mejorada.

My sincere thanks to Dir. Shaun Catubigan for the LCD Projector that we used as Multimedia during the Club Presidential Address 2007 held at Nickel Room Hotel Tavern Surigao last November 19, 2007.

How I wish Rotarians invited us to present our activities & projects undertaken during their regular meeting. Rotarians applauded to all of us for all the efforts that we had shown as reflection of their simple deeds and success to be shared by many.

oooOOOooo
Reminiscing the past...well its nice to rekindle some past experiences especially if those were really interesting and fun. Being a non-profit, non-political, non-religious international professional development and volunteer service organization of students and young professionals aged between 18 and 30. The Rotaract Club of Metro Surigao has been a strong force in the local community since our charter on August 30, 2004.

Since then, the club is so far one of the most active Rotaract clubs in the district, and we are continually looking for more volunteers in the Surigao City or neighboring areas who would like to take part in our community service projects, leadership development activities, social events, and more!

Moving on… the club today is made up of 15 enthusiastic leaders who wish to make a difference in the community.

In addition to that, the club provided the members with an opportunity to enhance knowledge and skills that will assist them in personal development, to address the physical and social needs of the community, and to promote better relations between all people worldwide through a framework of friendship and service.

What sets Rotaract apart from other community service organizations is our focus on community & leadership development. We want to help you learn the necessary skills to make the changes you want to see in the province.

... to name just a few things. Rotaract's motto is 'Fellowship through Service’.

In Community Service:

Rotaract Club of Metro Surigao is a very powerful youth volunteer force with tremendous potential to make a difference in the province.

Some of the issues we have worked on in the club include:

Environment:
PARTICIPATED THE CLEAN UP SURIGAO: Clean Up the World, Clean Up Surigaonons organized by the provincial government, FREE Drinking of Water during the Bonok-Bonok Festival of Surigao City and also on the issue of recycling.

Medical:
Joined the MEDICAL MISSIONS of (Renal Diseases Control Program) REDCOP Coalition of Surigao del Norte.

Less Fortunate:
Donated clothes and other needed items.

Housing Program:
BUILDING A HOME FOR THE HOMELESS at Sitio Looc, Surigao City through Gawad Kalinga Project of St. Paul University Surigao.

Law:
The club is a member of the Anti-Trafficking Networking Group of the province, a program organized by USAID/Solidarity Center/Anti-Trafficking Project2.


International Service:

Rotaract Club of Metro Surigao offers the chance to learn more about other cultures and help promote international understanding and goodwill. The internet and email have made this easier than ever, many websites, e-groups, and mailing lists devoted to Rotaract and Rotaract clubs worldwide.

The official blog website of the Rotaract Club of Metro Surigao is http://www.rotaract3860.blogspot.com/ .

The Rotaract Club of Metro Surigao joined the International Community in commemorating the International Day of Peace – May Peace Prevail On Earth last September 21, 2007.

Just recently, the Rotaract Club of Metro Surigao has made another community project at the Provincial Jail of Surigao del Norte in line with our international activity in titled ROTARACT CARES last Saturday, November 17, 2007.

Rotaractors work hard, but we believe in having a good time too. The club also holds at least one social event a month and we often socialize after meetings and projects too. We organize dinners, barbeques, dances, sporting events, and more! Sometimes these activities are designed to raise money, but mostly in service above self!

ROTARACT: choose it...live it....try it!



How often do you get the opportunity to join a worldwide network of 18 to 30 year olds?
When you choose to join a local Rotaract Club, you not only make close ties with young people in your local community, but with a global community of 150,000 Rotaractors in 138 countries around the world!


With your new friends you have the change to enjoy social activities ranging from black tie balls to beach side barbeques! If you like a bit more adrenalin, Rotaractors also like to try new and adventurous outdoor activities.


Rotaract offers its members further opportunities to enhance their professional skills through positions such as Professional Development Director and Club President that you can work towards. There are also opportunities to help coordinate and lead camps such as the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, offering you a world of experience.


Speaking of the world, why not go and see some of it? Rotaractors get the chance to participate in Group Study Exchanges with our overseas friends. If you are travelling alone, one call to a local Rotaract Club will give you friendly and personal insight into the local area.


All Rotaract clubs participate in Community Service projects. We raise money for needy individuals and organisations in our community. Your local Rotaract Club is already planning how it can help your local community be a better place to live during the next year.


If all this sounds good, your local club wants to meet YOU. Come along to a club meeting and open yourself up to a world of fun!

RY 2007-2008

Thursday, September 13, 2007

Who`s Who

The club has a committee that helps the club to run efficiently, organize events and fundraising and provide contacts for information. Any club member can stand for a committee post, with voting taking place in January/February. The Rotaract year runs from July to June.


President

The President's main task is to co-ordinate the club for 12 months. They are the "figurehead" of the club and represent the club at various meetings and functions. They are also the main contact for Rotary and other Rotaract clubs in the District. They must chair both club and committee meetings and attend District and some Rotary meetings. They get involved in all aspects of the club and need to know what is going on to be able to assist the other committee members if necessary.


Vice-President

The main role of the Vice-President is to assist the President wherever necessary, usually involving standing in for them at meetings. Their biggest role though is the organising of the club's Charter Night. This is the evening when the club celebrates receiving it's Charter (i.e. the Club's birthday party). There are many different ways to celebrate the occasion from formal dinner/dance to barn dances and themed discos.


Treasurer

The Treasurer is in charge of keeping the club books up to date and providing balances at the meetings. Along with the President, the Treasurer is in charge of setting the budget for the coming year and helps with the collection of club subscriptions. Each member must pay an annual subscription, set by the Treasurer and President. This money helps towards the running of the club and district. Subs are always due by the first meeting in September. If paid late there is usually a penalty. New members get three free months and then their subs are worked out Pro Rata.The Treasurer arranges the payment of any bills or expenses for the club. They must also ensure that at the end of the year the accounts are presented for audit and passed.


Secretary

The main duty of the Secretary is to take the minutes at the club and committee meetings. All minutes must be signed by the President and kept in a folder for future reference. The Secretary handles all club correspondence. At each club night the Secretary is usually guaranteed to have "Nothing to say"!


Sports

The Sports Officer's role is almost the same as the Social Officer's except they deal will sports events rather than social. They are responsible for getting together teams for any sporting events happening in the District and for organising Challenges against other clubs. They can be anything from sporting events, like bowling, darts, etc to things like chocolate eating challenges, crisp tasting events etc.


International

The role of the International Officer is to organise events on an international level or theme. The aim is to get the members involved outside of their immediate area. This can be done in several ways with day trips abroad, foreign meals or by establishing a link with a Rotaract club in another country.


Vocational

The Vocational Officer is in charge of the educational side of Rotaract, organising events with a slightly educational theme. As you can see the educational theme is very losely fitted around the events!


Publicity

The role of the Publicity Officer is to advertise the club to the public in order to attract new members and raise the awareness of Rotaract. The officer also organises things such as Displays Boards each year in the local Library for Rotary Awareness Week. Publicity is also gained from having photos and articles in the local papers. It is therefore the role of this officer to liase with the paper for a photographer to attend events and to send in Press Releases. Most Rotaract clubs have their own scrapbooks and it is up to the Publicity Officer to keep these up to date. The scrapbook holds pictures, articles, tickets, menus, etc of the events the club has attended.

Membership

The main role of the Membership Officer is to welcome prospective new members to the club and make sure that they understand what is happening. They also work closely with the Publicity Officer in organising publicity events and new members evenings. They produce the membership list and distribute it amongst the club members.


Rotaract/Rotary Liaison Officer

This officer is a member of a sponsoring Rotary Club who can come along to club nights and acts as the main link between the clubs. The Liaison Officer reports back to his Rotary Club about what Rotaract is up to and helps with the organisation of joint events. Our club has three Liaison Officers as three Rotary clubs sponsor us. At the beginning of each Rotaract year the incoming Rotaract committee meets with the incoming Rotaract/Rotary Liaison Officers to discuss the organisation of joint events and how Rotaract and Rotary will interact.


Rotary International is a worldwide association of local clubs for men and women in business or the professions. It's aims are to provide humanitarian service to the community at local, national and international level; encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and work for goodwill and peace in the word. It was founded in 1905 and has over 1.2 million members in more than 29,000 clubs in almost 160 countries. Britain has over 61,000 members in around 1,800 clubs.
