Peace Presidents of 34 Rotary clubs convene Buntis Assembly, an
innovative maternal & child health initiative, last March 1st
With Rotary Clubs of Camp Aguinaldo, Cubao
EDSA, Metro SFDM and North EDSA as lead
hosts and Holy Spirit and 29 other clubs as co-
hosts, the “Buntis Assembly” was held last March

ceived for the benefit of pregnant mothers and
their yet unborn children, one of the areas of fo-
cus of Rotary. The attendees were given pointers
by resource persons, health center doctors and
by the Peace Presidents on proper maternal
health care practices. Each mother left with
packs of items they would need in connection
with child birth. RC Holy Spirit contributed health-
care items worth P8,000 that were included in
the kits given away. The co-host clubs were RC

More coverage of the event on Page 4 of this newsletter.
RCHS sponsored five (5) officers of the Interact Club of Holy
Spirit National High School to the 24th RID 3780 Rotary Youth
Leadership Awards (RYLA) Training Camp that was held in the
historic Corregidor Island on February 24-25, 2013.

all had a great time during the training sessions, team-
building activities and guided tour of the island.
Holy Spirit “Wheels of Hope” project gets support from three Rotary clubs
The Wheels of Hope, a continuing project of RC Holy Spirit, gets a
needed boost from three (3) cooperating Rotary clubs, namely:
RCs West Fairview, Balintawak, and QC Metro North Centennial.
Peace President Nestor Chua of RC West Fairview linked us up
with Peace President Ding Cayubit of RC QC Metro North Centen-
nial whose club is accredited to take measurements on patients
needing wheelchairs. Peace President Tony Atienza of RC
Balintawak is the authorized representative of The Church of Je-
sus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, the principal sponsors of the
wheelchairs.
Last March 2, President Marcia, together with Barangay Kagawad
Joemar Lagarto who had referred potential benefifiary-patients,
accompanied members of RC West Fairview and RC Metro North
Centennial led by their Presidents in visiting and taking measure-
ments on four (4) identified indigent patients in Barangay Holy
Spirit.
Since project launch last September 25, 2012, RC Holy Spirit has
already provided wheelchairs to two beneficiaries.

Holy Spirit PE Eui Bong Jung on MD-PETS District Governors-Elect led 831 presidents-elect from all 10 Ro-
tary districts in the Philippines during the first-ever Multi-District
Presidents-Elect Training Seminar held in Cebu last February 14-
15, 2013. The MD-PETS was highlighted by the speech delivered
by Rotary International President-Nominee Mr. Gary C. K. Huang.
Due to be installed as RI President for 2014-15, Mr. Huang re-
minded the PEs about the need to make Rotary larger and
stronger, and to take Rotary to a new level which could only be
attained by adopting new ideas and new methods.
DGE Francis and Sp. RCHS Treasurer Peth Rivera treated the
club to dinner at their home during its 30th meeting last Febru-
ary 21. Happy birthday, DGE Francis!
President Marcia and Chair Ric Salvador jointly celebrated their birth-
days meaningfully last March 2 with a fund-raising dinner for the
benefit of RCHS’s community service projects. No less than Gov
Penny Policarpio joined the celebration. Thanks, Gov Penny!
RIPN Gary Huang cites Holy Spirit project in his speech to DGEs
and PEs during the MD-PETS
DGE Francis Rivera informed us that a project of RC Holy Spirit, the HIV/AIDS forum, had been given special mention by Rotary International President-Nominee Gary Huang in his Feb 15, 2013 speech during the Multi-District PETS in Cebu. RIPN Mr. Huang mentioned one laudable
project from each of the 10 districts, and for D3780, it was one of our projects. Congratulations!
RC Holy Spirit, the Rotaract & Interact Clubs of Holy Spirit, six co-host clubs, and the QC Red Cross organized the 2nd Youth Forum on Anti Drug Abuse and HIV/AIDS Prevention to achieve ZERO new incidence. The forum was participated in by Rotaractors, Interactors and Rotarians. President Marcia Salvador of RC Holy Spirit is pleased to share the distinction bestowed by RIPN Mr. Huang with our co-hosts who supported the goal of having ZERO new HIV incidence in QC: the Rotary Clubs of Camp Aguinaldo, Loyola Heights, New Manila East, Pag-asa,
SFDM, and Timog.

Australia
Craig Alford, a member of the Rotary Club of Armadale, Australia,
rode more than 400 miles across Western Australia, from Perth to
Kalgoorlie, on a Hustler Super Z lawnmower last spring, raising
close to US$70,000 along the way.
Proceeds benefited Australian Rotary Health for Mental Illness
Research and Wheels of Hope, a nonprofit provider of free wheel-
chairs in developing nations. Alford rode for six days, arriving at
the Kalgoorlie Golf Course in time for the District 9465 Confer-
ence.
Côte d’Ivoire
Since 2004, the Rotary Club of Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, has
vaccinated more than 50,000 children under age 10 in Côte
d’Ivoire against meningitis B and C and typhoid fever. Twenty-five
clubs have joined the effort and raised close to US$262,000 for
immunizations in the West African nation. During a regional men-
ingitis outbreak early last year, Côte d’Ivoire had the highest fatal-
ity rate among the affected countries.
FYR Macedonia
The Rotary clubs of Clearwater Beach, Fla., USA, and Bitola Shirok
Sokak, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, worked together
to promote peace and express creativity in September for the
United Nations International Day of Peace. The clubs worked with
Rotary Youth Exchange participants and local high school students
to paint messages of peace in their towns. In Clearwater Beach,
students decorated storefront windows. In FYR Macedonia, the
paintings went to a school for children with special needs, along
with crayons, paints, and other art supplies.
Great Britain
Roll Out the Barrel is a charity that provides women and children
in developing countries with rolling barrels that they can use to
transport water. The rugged 30- and 50-liter barrels, which can be
pushed or pulled, are manufactured in the United Kingdom and
cost about US$50 each. Bill Leslie, of the Rotary Club of Ellesmere
Port, Wirral, and Adrian Brewer, of the Rotary Club of Vectis Sun-
rise (Newport I.O.W.), run the organization with help from women’s
and church groups, schools, and other Rotary clubs. The barrels
are already helping families in Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, and Sierra
Leone.
Mexico
When it comes to spreading the word about polio eradication, Dis-
trict 4170 Rotarians aim high. To celebrate the start of the 2012-
13 Rotary year, District Governor Ernesto Benitez and José
Clemente Álvarez Soto, president of the Rotary Club of Teoti-
huacán, flew over the historic Pyramid of the Sun in a hot-air bal-
loon emblazoned with the End Polio Now logo. The pyramid, one of
the largest buildings in Mesoamerica, and surrounding archaeo-
logical sites are popular tourist destinations.
Philippines
At the Southern Philippines Medical Center in Davao City, impover-
ished children with cancer often stop receiving treatment when
their families cannot afford to stay nearby. House of Hope, the
signature project of the Rotary Club of Waling-Waling (Davao), pro-
vides accommodations for up to 25 pediatric cancer patients and
two caregivers each. The program, housed on the medical center’s
campus, has accommodated more than 1,800 patients since
2007.
Russia
As part of the Young Talent in the Open World project, the Rotary
Club of Moscou-Pokrovka supports underprivileged child musi-
cians through opportunities to tour and to receive high-level music
education. Last year, the club partnered with Italian clubs to ar-
range events at prestigious venues in Padua, Cagliari, and Cre-
mona for three musicians: a 22-year-old mezzo-soprano, a 15-year
-old pianist, and an 11-year-old pianist, violinist, and composer.
The concerts drew nearly 1,200 attendees. The Rotary Club of
Cremona presented the Moscou-Pokrovka club with three Italian-
made violins and a viola, which project organizers plan to use for
continuing music education in Moscow.
Sri Lanka
In the northern regions of Sri Lanka, mothers and young children
must travel long distances to reach one of the few government-run
hospitals. With those mothers in mind, the Rotary Club of Colombo
Regency has hosted more than 20 daylong health camps in the
last decade to provide basic medicines and health information. At
a recent event in Jaffna, five volunteer doctors and a pharmacist
gave out US$3,000 worth of multivitamins, folic acid, iron tablets,
and worm treatments, along with more than 200 pairs of reading
glasses, to 500 patients.
USA
For the sixth year, Rotary clubs in suburban Detroit competed in
a Jeopardy!-style competition, hosted this time by the Rotary Club
of Royal Oak. Five players on three teams, representing the Royal
Oak club and the Rotary Clubs of Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills,
duked it out over answers and questions pulled from recent issues
of The Rotarian. The event raised $600 for PolioPlus. The winning
Birmingham club will host the 2013 event.
Rotary news in brief from around the globe The Rotarian -- March 2013
Rotary clubs around the globe have many things in common, including a commitment to service. All year long, clubs are taking action to make a difference in their communities. Here’s a roundup of recent club activities.

108TH CELEBRATION OF ROTARY To Benefit
Easter Seals of Metropolitan Chicago
Easter Seals and Rotary share more than a devotion to improving the lives of the disabled and disadvantaged – they share a 90+ year relationship! The history of Rotary and Easter Seals have been inter-twined since 1919. Easter Seals' founder, Edgar F. "Daddy" Allen, was a Rotarian from Elyria, Ohio. Allen met Rotary founder Paul P. Harris, both sharing a common passion for service, and inspired Harris with the work he was doing for children with disabilities. Paul Harris became the charity's first chairman, and one of The Rotary Foundation’s first grants, in 1930, went to the International Society for Crippled Children, Easter Seals' precursor.
EARLY ROTARY HISTORY The founder of the organization to be known as Rotary
International was Paul Percy Harris, born on April 9,
1868 in Racine, Wisconsin. Born of humble beginnings,
Paul spent most of his childhood with his grandparents
in Wallingford, Vermont and was educated at Vermont
Military Academy, The University of Vermont, and
eventually, at prestigious Princeton University. He then
began law school in 1889 at the University of Iowa in
Des Moines, where he earned his law degree in 1891.
Paul was the keynote speaker of his graduating class.
Thus began one of he most exciting and transforming
periods in Paul Harris’s life. By 1896 Paul was settled in
Chicago where he practiced law and was a member of
the Chicago Association of Commerce. He was ad-
versely affected by the commercial exploitation, social
unrest and political corruption that was the business and
political melting pot of Chicago in the early 1900’s (and
beyond). In the autumn of 1900
Paul was invited to dinner by
attorney, Robert Frank. After
the dinner they strolled thru
Rogers Park, a Chicago
neighborhood, where they
stopped and spoke with store
and shop owners. The friendli-
ness and trust of the owners
and proprietors differed from
the indifference, and at times,
rudeness of the downtown
community leaders. This was
the oasis of which first seeded
the idea for Paul for the need
for a social and business organization where strangers
could bond together in commerce and friendship. The
first seed was planted on that day in 1900 for the birth
of the organization known as Rotary.

ABOUT THE FOUNDERS
On 23 February 1905, Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey gathered in Loehr’s office for what would become known as the first Rotary club meeting. Harris’s desire for camaraderie among business as-sociates brought together these four men and eventually led to an international organization of service and fellowship. Read about each of the first four Rotarians below, and about Harry L. Ruggles, who is often called the "fifth Rotarian." Rotary’s founder, Paul Harris , was born in Wisconsin, USA, on 19 April 1868. He was raised by his paternal grandparents in Vermont and attended the University of Vermont, Prince-ton, and the University of Iowa. He was Rotary president from 1910 to 1912 and a mem-ber of the Rotary Club of Chi-cago until his death on 27 Janu-ary 1947. Gustavus Loehr , a mining en-gineer, was born on 18 Octo-ber 1864 in Carlinville, Illinois. He was a Rotarian for only a few years, never holding office at the club or international level. But that first Rotary meet-ing was held in his office, Room 711 of the Unity Building in downtown Chicago. He died in Chicago on 23 May 1918. A Rotarian for only a few years, Hiram Shorey served as re-cording secretary during the club’s first year. He was born in Maine in August 1862 and died in March 1944. Silvester Schiele , a coal dealer, served as the Chicago club’s first president in 1905 and Rotary International’s third treas-urer in 1945. Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1870, Schiele attended Terre Haute Business College and served in the U.S. Army during the Spanish-American War. He was presi-dent of the Schiele Coal Company from 1902 until his retire-ment in 1939. He and Harris became lifelong friends and lived near each other on the South Side of Chicago. Schiele died on 17 December 1945 and is buried near Harris at Mount Hope Cemetery. Originally from Michigan, Harry Ruggles was a graduate of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and joined Rotary at its second meeting. He was treasurer of the Chi-cago club during its first year, president from 1908 to 1910, and a Rotary director from 1912 to 1913. He is known for having intro-duced singing to Rotary club meetings. His printing company, H.L. Ruggles & Co., printed the first issue of The National Rotar-ian and the first Rotary songbook. He died on 26 October 1959, an honorary member of seven clubs in addition to his home club, the Rotary Club of Chicago.
1910-1947 – Paul Harris’ Legacy
Paul Percy Harris instituted an important Rotary tradition during his term as the first president of the Rotary National Association. In 1911 Paul asked Chesley Perry, the first gen-eral secretary of Rotary (National), to mimeograph and mail a 6,000 word Paul Harris – written essay titled, “Rational Ro-tarianism” to all 2,000 Rotarians in the 23 clubs nationwide. After discussions, Harris and Perry decided to produce the essay in a pamphlet in which they paid for the venture by including sold advertising. The first issue of The National Ro-tarian pamphlet was mailed in January of 1911. Thus Paul
Harris led the groundwork for the present-day “The Rotarian” magazine. Paul Harris also was instrumental in designing the first Rotary em-blem, initially a simple wagon wheel which eventually evolved into today’s Rotary pin. Thus Paul added two of our club’s traditions to his Rotary resume – and what a resume it is. As the father of Rotary, Paul Harris believed in the Rotary model. He brought together men and later women from various professions under one roof and helped establish an organization that believed in service to its fellow men in community both nationally and internationally.
The “Paul Harris Fellow” title is given to members who con-tribute $1,000 or more to the Rotary Foundation. In the be-ginning, Paul Harris was merely a lonely Chicago lawyer with an idea to build a club to satisfy a need that seemed to be lacking in Chicago for honest fellowship, more sincere busi-ness relations, and service to community. That he helped to do and now Rotary has spread throughout the world.
ROTARY CREED From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their
professional lives. One of the world’s most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is The Four-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by ROTARY/One member Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as RI president) when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bank-ruptcy.
This 24-word test for employees to follow in their business and professional lives be-came the guide for sales, production, adver-tising, and all relations with dealers and cus-tomers, and the survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The Four-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways. It asks these four questions.
The world’s first service club founded in 1905.
