sharing be for us life in service.

♪♫•*Sweet Rotary♪♫•

(The Centro Hymn)

When it began Look all around

I can’t believe it happened So many help is needed

But then I know it’s going strong C’mon, together I know we could

2001 And when we hurt,

That’s when it came to being We can just smile and bear it

Who’d have believed ‘Coz we were born

we’ll grow to be… to serve and be….

*Hands, touching hands Warm, touching warm

*Reaching out, touching me, Reaching out, touching me,

*touching you touching you

*Sweet Rotary *Sweet Rotary

*Sta. Rosa Centro’s good *Sta. Rosa Centro’s good

*I’ve been inclined *We’re going strong

*To believe we’re going strong *We are here for all of you

*And now, I… And now, I…

(Repeat *)

RC Centro’s GREAT!



President’s Message

Happy New Year, Centro ladies!

“Each New Year, we have before us a brand new

book containing 365 blank pages. Let us fill them

with all the forgotten things from last year — the

words we forgot to say, the love we forgot to show, and the

charity we forgot to offer.”

Drawing inspiration from Peggy Toney Horton, I would like us all

to be reminded what the New Year brings – new opportunities.

It is God’s way of giving us another chance to make things right,

as it should be, and start to offer ourselves in His service. While

we may not be fulltime servants of the Church, I believe that

being in service to our fellows also translates to serving the Cre-

ator.

On this note, I would like us all to continue what we do best –

giving “Service Above Self” – and fill the 365 pages of the Rotary

Club of Sta. Rosa Centro for year 2015 with more good things

and better projects. We did it last year, so I am positive that we

can do it better this year.

Once again, Happy New Year to everyone and God bless!

Yours in Rotary,

Best Class President Arlene “Mayor” Arcillas

ROTARY’S INNOVATIVE TRIBUTE TO POLIO

ERADICATION IN INDIA BREAKS GUINNESS

WORLD RECORD

To eradicate polio in India, Rotary members displayed

impressive coordination and commitment. So it should

come as no surprise that Rotary members in Chennai,

Tamil Nadu, were able to mobilize more than 40,000

people to create the world's largest human national

flag. The tribute to the polio eradication effort qualified

as a Guinness World Records-breaking achievement.



ROTARY INTERNATIONAL

News & Updates

"What impressed me most was that all of Rotary was rep-resented: Rotaractors, Interactors, and Rotarians," says RI President Gary C.K. Huang, who participated in the event along with his wife, Corinna, and other Rotary senior lead-ers. "They brought their classmates, friends, and co-workers. I think that says a lot about how important it is to the people that India is polio free."

Participants from all walks of life holding placards stood together on a local fairgrounds to form the Indian flag. Their display broke the record set last year by the Sports Club of Lahore, which organized nearly 30,000 people to form the Pakistani flag.

After breaking the record, local Rotary members, who'd formed the blue wheel in the center of the flag, flipped their placards over to create Rotary wheels, and other Ro-tary members unfurled a large banner reading "Keep India Polio Free." The organizers, led by District 3230, estimate that another 50,000 people showed up to watch on large TV screens set up outside the event.

Once the participants were organized, they had to hold up the placards for more than five minutes to enable the rep-resentative from Guinness to verify the new record. "The last 30 seconds, everyone started screaming [in encour-agement]," says Huang. "I [felt] very patriotic, says Avanthika Iyer, a third-year student at Shasun Jain College in Chennai. "The five-minute period of holding the placard was difficult but made us happy."

Says Huang: "When I was told how many people had to participate -- 40,000 to 50,000 -- I didn't think it would happen. When I saw the thousands and thousands of peo-ple [gathered] for just the rehearsal the day before, I real-ized it was possible."

Weigh-in

Answer: 9



"Deeds preceded the written word. After service had been rendered in manifold forms, the word “Service” with all its varied meanings and implications, was written in the Rotary plan."

(Paul, Harris This Rotarian Age, page 89)

Reflections

“Every Rotary club should be made a forum

before which vital economic and social

problems may be fairly and intelligently

discussed. Club programs should stimulate

thought, widen the horizon, and deepen

conviction.” — The Program for the Year, THE

ROTARIAN, August 1920

Overrated Tourist Attractions

Around The World — And

Where To Go Instead

For your Information

Instead of seeing New York City from the top of the Empire State

Building, go to Top of the Rock. Waiting to get to the top of the Em-pire State Building is a pain. It’s expensive, there are long lines, and

the views of New York City are only so-so.

The Pyramid Fields of Dahshur are spectacular. The Great Pyramids of Giza may be the most well-known pyramids in the world, but that

doesn't mean they're the best. In fact, they can be so overrun with

tourists and the views from them are so marred by modern Cairo that many travelers say they're not even worth visiting.



For your Information

Source : https://ph.news.yahoo.com/14-overrated-tourist-attractions-around-

223800752.html

Instead of walking around

Stonehenge with all the tourists, go out of your way to see the

Callanish Standing Stones. The Callanish Standing Stones are

breathtaking. Stonehenge has

long been described as a tourist must-see, but the endless

crowds and designated walkway can make it seem less than ex-

traordinary. Instead of battling

crowds ogling the Mo-

na Lisa at the Louvre in Paris, see the impres-

sionist works at the Musée d’Orsay. The

Musée d'Orsay is one

of the most gorgeous buildings in Paris. The

Louvre is spectacular yet overwhelming, and

the same can be said for Leonardo da Vinci’s

Mona Lisa. The famous

but tiny work of art is constantly surrounded by tourists trying to snap a picture.

Avoid Times Square at all costs.

While most tourists come to New

York City and head directly for Times Square, it’s incredibly dis-

appointing. Times Square is dirty, crowded, expensive, and over-

whelming — walk through it once

and you’ll never want to go back.
