IPP Valedictory Address:

Reminiscing the past...well it`s nice to rekindle some past experiences especially if those were really interesting and fun during our community participations, projects and activities last year 2007.

As we enter the Rotaract Year 2008 - 2009 let us continue develop our professional skills by lending our talents to the community. Our new projects, activities, community involvement are another challenge for all of us being a member of the Rotaract Club of Metro Surigao as we bring the one worldwide motto SERVICE ABOVE SELF.

The status of our membership as of now will not be the reason for the failure of our projects to be realized soon. Hence, this is our challange to all of us to continue stand alone for the sake of Rotaract Club. Though our club today has only 10 active members but we are still strong and have courage to show our commitment and show to the community that we are united.

To my colleagues, I personally extend my appreciation to all of you for the commitment you extended to our club.

Let our camaraderie continue through MAKE DREAMS REAL.

Among these are the conduct of information and education campaign related to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases, Hataw Exercise, and screening services that include urinalysis and tests on blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure on June 13 at San Francisco, Surigao del Norte.
