As we start a new Rotary year, allow me first to express

my deepest gratitude to all my fellow members for your

kind expression of confidence and the support extended

as we prepared our plans for the new Rotary year.

I cannot but admire and appreciate all those who served

the club all these years, especially all Past Presidents who

have contributed their time, talents and treasures to make

Rotary Club of Makati San Lorenzo a name associated

with high level of achievements.

And thus, a challenge for me to carry on the task of

achieving our Rotary vision and mission by serving those

who have less in life.

It is with confidence that I can carry on the task given me

to serve the club and others whom we serve, only through

your continued support and with the same commitment

you all have expressed all these years. You have my

assurance that I too will follow the path of serving the

club with the same spirit of commitment as my

predecessors.

Medical MissionMedical MissionMedical MissionMedical MissionSaturday, May 30, 2009, Barangay Saimsim, Laguna

In cooperation with dental and medical teams, our club

conducted a one-day medical mission in Barangay

Saimsim, situated in Laguna. The constituents were given

one of the basic services badly needed in this rural area,

and that of enhancing health care for the marginalized

poor. There were several patients treated through check-

up of blood pressures, dental care, including haircut.

Credit is given to our very own Dir. Alice Villanueva who

made this mission possible. Dir. Alice was the principal

organizer who brought the medical and dental teams and

coordinated the activities conducted within the premises

of her Am-Europharma factory.

This is an annual club event during the month of April

timed with Dir. Alice Villanueva’s birthday celebration,

an expression of love offering.

From our club, CP Renie Andrews, Pres. Jing Sarao, PE
