 rely two months from now, Rotary Year 1999-2000 will come to a close. It is during this time that most clubs have slowed down in terms of activities and projects, funds have dwindled at its lowest, as the deadline for year-end report is fast approaching (May 15), the foregoing factors, however, do not signal us that we, Rotarians, should also go along that line.
If we slow down, all that we worked hard for including our monetary contribution will be for nought. I am afraid that this is not us who will suffer the most but the community we vowed to serve and dedicate our efforts to. This is not for self - glorification or recognition, but simply a reflection of our selfless interest in the service of humanity. This commitment and endeavor should be monitored and sustained, if not heightened throughout the year and the years to come, to have a deeper impact not only to the communities concern but to our club as well. In doing so, delivering responsibilities and attaining a smooth transition to the future administrations. Then, we can proudly say we acted with consistency, credibility and continuity.
Much have to be commended to our team this year especially the four avenues of service Directors and respective Chairpersons who have taken full responsibilities, not only did they commit and attain our club's goals and objectives for this year, but they even have surpassed the club's expectations. It is through their continued contributions of their resources, efforts, vigor and enthusiasm that makes me feel proud to be a part of RC SFU, Inc.
Incidentally, words of condolences goes to the family of the late Judge Juan Aquino. Judge Aquino is the father-in-law of our PP Fernando Astom.
