ROTARY CLUB OF UPPER TAGBILARAN: Its Excellent Community Service
Proem

Allow me to greet everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year; Malipayong Surapô ug Bulahang Bag-ong Tuig!

There are many Civic Clubs in Bohol and Tagbilaran City. All of them are endeavoring to serve the community. Among the Rotary Clubs in Bohol, the Rotary Club of Upper Tagbilaran is the youngest. It is yet two years old and has already served thousands of Boholanos.

Monday Club

The core of the members of the Rotary Club of Upper Tagbilaran already organized themselves as the Monday Club of Tagbilaran before it was officially accepted as part of Rotary International.

As the Monday Club it already conducted different medical missions, fed and gave school supplies to school children and donated a library to an Elementary School in Cortes, Bohol.

It was officially accepted as a Rotary Club on June 30, 2006 and designated as Rotary Club No. 73958 and part of Zone 1B, R.I. District 3860. Its charter President was Steven "Dondon" Suganob.

New Rotary Club

As a new Rotary Club, the Rotary Club of Upper Tagbilaran continued to conduct medical missions. It helped enlivened the Christmas season by giving gifts to the less privileged in our society. It also conducted a reforestation project in the Municipality of Danao, Bohol.

In its second year of existence, the club is headed by banker Rodney Lumuthang, the Branch Manager of China Bank in Tagbilaran City.

Last July 28, 2007, the club conducted a medical and dental mission at Dampas District, Tagbilaran City. It was conducted in partnership with the Rotary Club of Dumaguete East. The number of beneficiaries were 110 medical cases and 64 dental cases.

This Christmas season the club has the following community service programs: a) Deember 22, 2007 will be the "Bundle of Joy" to be conducted at Bo-ol District, Tagbilaran City. b) December 29, 2007 will be the distribution of clothings to t Cabawan District, Tagbilaran City. c) January 6, 2008 will be the "Giving Joy to Children" where selected children from poor families will be treated to a children's party at Jolibee-Marcela.

Last December 8 and December 15, the club members went out of their way to help cement the site for the proposed building for the SPED Center at Tagbilaran Central School. The project will be done in partnership with the Rotary Club of Grafton, Midday in Australia.

Bonding Time

Aside from its formal but enjoyable club meetings every Monday evening at Mellow Apartele, Dampas District, the club members also have bonding time during birthday parties of its members. Last December 21 the club had its Christmas Party at Villa del Sol, which is own by one of its members, Rotarian Primo Yu and Ursula Alturas Yu.

These frequent meetings and fellowships have bonded together the club members in such a way that bickering between members is non-existent. Everybody is trying their best to be of service to the community in their own simple way.

Service Above Self

The primary motto of Rotary International is "Service Above Self." Like any other Rotarian, the members of the Rotary Club of Upper Tagbilaran have pledged themselves to serve the community to make it a better place to live in where peace and harmony prevails.

May this young Rotary Club grow into a mature and responsible club that will help uplift the lives of the less fortunate in society.
