Editorial
As they say, our names are music to our ears. Even in a crowd, a soft mention of our names will make our heads turn, and when we win something big, your
friends will chant our names over and over, as if saying ―You‘re the One!‖ Expectant parents spend days poring over baby name books to choose the
name of their precious child, because they know the importance of a name. After all, it will identify the child for the rest of his or her life.
But what do our names mean? Do they really reflect on who we are? Let us see.
―Maria‖ means ―from the sea‖ or ―bitter‖; can we say that about our mem-bers PP Maan, Rtn Cecile, and Rtn Lina who have Marias in their names? And how about our 1st president, PDG Chit? Her name means ―little bear consolation‖ – come to think of it, she is cute like a baby bear and she does
some consoling when we are feeling down. Some of us have names that are translations of words, like Rtn. Gloria
(glory) and PP Maya (May Grace). But some names stand for things or places, like those of Rtn Mel (―vineyard‖), Rtn Shiela (heaven‖), Rtn Lina (―light‖), Rtn Evs (―bird‖), and PP Hazel (―hazel tree‖).
PP Che and Rtn Myrna are both ―beloved‖, the difference being the former is French and the latter is Irish. Rtn Cecile‘s other name means ―blind to
one‘s own beauty‖. PP Jackie is ―the protector‖, while PN Arlene‘s name means ―pledge‖.
We have several gifts from God or from heaven, namely, Rtn Joen (gift from God), PE Doray (divine gift), and PP Leni (light and gift from God). PP Zeny is ―god-like‖, and Rtn. Etchel is ―gracious oath from God‖. President
Liza‘s name sounds like a great motto: ―God will be willing, God is my oath‖, while Rtn Jay‘s sound like one of those names in the movie Dances with Wolves: ―rules with a spear from the flax hill‖.
Some name meanings are quite a revelation – like PP Precy‘s name ―Priscilla‖ means ―ancient‖ and PN Pen‘s name means ―a silent worker‖. PP Carol‘s name means ―melody‖, but it could also be a female form of Charles,
which means ―free man‖. How about our club? We are called ―Centro‖ and that means ―center‖. I
think we can all agree, we are the center of attention…. The place to be, right?

President’s Message
Greetings my fellow Rotarians!
As we start our Rotarian Year with our newly induct-
ed officers, I hope that we all be reminded that not
only leaders, but all members as well, are important
in the achievement of our goals and objectives of be-
ing a true ROTARIAN. Just like what Mother Teresa
said, "It's not how much we give, but how much love
we put into giving".
As we work to create light for others, we naturally
light our own way -- that is truly Service above
Self. Have a prosperous year ahead!
Yours in Rotary Service,
First Class President Teodora Lucero

For your Information
Countries Pinoys can visit without a visa
It‘s more fun in the Philippines, but amid good economic news, many
Filipinos are traveling abroad both for business and leisure. Japan has
recently allowed multiple-entry visas for Filipino citizens. South Korea is
also reportedly mulling improving visa requirements for Pinoys.
But did you know that as of June 30, 2013, Filipinos can go to at least
25 other countries without having to worry about visas?
This is according to an ―unofficial‖ and ―indicative‖ list the Department
of Foreign Affairs made available to Yahoo! Southeast Asia. Filipinos
have however been told to always check with embassies or consulates
when making travel plans, as visa policies change from time to time.

ROTARY BASICS
MEMBERSHIP THOUGHT : Are you right at the right
organization?
by PDG Subhash Saraf, D3131 and Hon Rtn 7210 / RLI South Asia and RLI Intl. As
published in Loyala Star Philippines.
―Rotary club membership must offer opportunities for meaningful service and friend-
ships for all Rotarians. At the same time, we must maintain high standards. If we begin
to simply look for dues-paying members as a means of increasing our budget, it will
severely damage our credibility and signal the end of our organization.‖ - 1999-00 RI
Pres. Carlo Ravizza
Dealing above goals, the following questions need be answered satisfactorily:
Why is it important to engage our members?
To engage a member means more than just occupying them or keeping them
busy. To engage Rotary members means to challenge them personally, pro-
fessionally, and civically to be involved and committed to the club's mission
and activities. Engagement fosters real interest in what the club is doing,
bonding between members, investment and pride in the club's success, and
an empathy with their service beneficiaries. Engagement is important to the
club and Rotary because engaged members feel their investment in time and
money are valued, appreciated, and make a difference. It is a good invest-
ment of their time and money. It has a benefit to them that is unique or diffi-
cult to replace elsewhere. Members who feel that their efforts are valued,
seldom voluntarily leave their Rotary clubs, and if they do leave, they look for
ways to continue their affiliation with Rotary. ―Engagement‖ in this sense is a
key distinction between members of a Rotary club and ―Real Rotarians‖. Inter-
estingly, ―engaged‖ to an engineer means ―being in gear‖ or ―meshed‖, the
same concept early Rotarians sought to promote with the ―Rotary Wheel‖.
Definition of engaged‖ from http://www.merriam/-Webster.com Meaning
again – ―involved in activity : occupied, busy‖

ROTARY BASICS con’t from page 9
Why are you in your Rotary club?
Rotary membership is personal, the reasons for joining may not have been
shared much previously by the participants, and this ―sharing question‖ can
help build develop bonding in your class. Reasons for being in their club will
vary, and may range from ―self-interested‖ to ―humanitarian‖, ―local‖
to―global‖, ―personal‖ to ―social‖, and many other dynamics. Every Rotarian's
reason should be affirmed, and used to illustrate the variety of reasons
members join, the complexity and diversity of Rotary clubs and opportuni-
ties, and the infinite ways in which Rotary clubs can meet the needs ex-
pressed by each answer. Some follow-up questions could be:
Did you have to join Rotary for that?
using this question to explore aspects of Rotary that may distinguish in from
other civic or service organizations;
Why did you say “yes” to joining?
to look further into the personal motivations of the participants and to reflect
deeper into the stated reasons for joining; or
What do you get from your Rotary club membership?
to reinforce the benefits of being a Rotarian, and the link of those benefits to
being engaged in club activities.
What strategies can your club use to engage its members?
Membership Satisfaction Survey may be a
beginning point for a targeted deliberation on
almost any point heading.
Concluding we say –
As stated above, membership in Rotary is a
personal thing. One must think about their
own reasons for being in Rotary, for staying
in, and the value it has for them; and explore
things their club can do to promote engage-
ment of its members. Engaged members
tend to stay in Rotary. A lack of engagement
is at the core of many of the reasons ex-
pressed by those club members who volun-
tarily leave. Revolving Door Effect

“We are here on earth and we are here
to stay during our respectively allotted
periods. How much of happiness and
how much of misery shall be our share
remains with us almost entirely to determine. If we
possess a modicum of reason, it will be apparent to
us that it is the part of wisdom to cheerfully make the
best of the situation and to harmonize our own lives
with nature's inexorable laws. We are entitled to the
maximum of happiness; and may we be sane
enough to observe that
the route to a life full of
happiness does not lie in
intemperate indulgence..-
The Distance Self” by
Paul P Harris – The
Rotarian, February 1914
“Friendship…the craving for which brought
Rotary into existence is the thing that will keep
Rotary a living, vital force in the world for all
time, the very foundation of our organization.”

The Rotary Club of Sta.
Rosa Centro launches
THE FACE OF ROTARY
In line with Rotary International‘s focus on strengthening its public image, we have
encouraged clubs during our last DISTASS PR breakout session to get an image and to
share their Rotary story or random moment or experience of a Rotarian or club project.
We also shared ideas on how we can transform them into something that is memorable
and can be shared to all kinds of public. One of these is visual communication – through
images or pictures. In line with this focus, RC Sta. Rosa Centro has just announced their
club‘s photo contest – The Face of Rotary. This worthy project will showcase all the
good deeds the clubs under District 3820 undertakes. Let your images/pictures be a
compelling force to inspire others to become a shining light in the lives of the less fortu-
nate sector of our community, that is, to Engage Rotary and to Change Lives. Go get
your camera and click on that CANDID Rotary moment. Your pictures may be included
not only in our GML but also in the Philippine Rotary Magazine. Let us all participate in
this worthy project.—RI District 3820 DPRC

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL Updates
This is an incredibly exciting time to be a Rotarian. This Rotary year can
be one of the greatest years we have yet experienced in Rotary – but it is up to each one of us. We are now writing the last chapter in our fight against polio. While it has been a long, hard journey, we have learned many valuable
lessons. We have learned that as a group we can move mountains, we can change people‘s lives for the better, and we can honestly make a difference in our world. Perhaps the greatest lesson has been that the more we chal-
lenge ourselves, the more we can achieve. We are also embarking on a new chapter in the storied history of our Rotary Foundation. We have the rare privilege of launching an entirely new
grant structure we‘ve come to know as Future Vision. It gives us the oppor-tunity to challenge ourselves to do the absolute most we can, with all of our resources. Just think how much more we can do with a stronger Foundation,
with stronger clubs filled with more Rotarians who are fully engaged in Rota-ry service. It‘s time for us to recognize that the real challenge we face isn‘t just bringing new members into Rotary. It‘s turning all members into true Rotari-
ans. It‘s helping members get engaged in Rotary – helping them realize the potential they have, and how their Rotary service can change lives. We need to make sure that every member is active and contributing, and making a
real difference – because when you‘re doing meaningful work in Rotary, Ro-tary is meaningful to you. When we realize what we can achieve in Rotary – when we really engage
Rotary – that‘s when lives change. We change the lives of the people who need us. That is inevitable. And along the way, our lives are changed as well. That is also inevitable. That‘s what our theme is all about in 2013-14: En-
gage Rotary, Change Lives. It‘s time to open our eyes to the potential each of us has through Rotary. Rotary lets us reach higher, do more, and be a part of something larger than
ourselves. No matter how much we give to Rotary, we get more in return. And that, too, is inevitable. In 2013-14, let‘s turn all of our potential into reality. It‘s up to us. We
can do it by engaging in Rotary service, by getting involved, by staying in-spired, and by remembering every day the gift we have in Rotary. Together, we will Engage Rotary, Change Lives
