NIGHT PRAYER
As we continue the new Ro-
tary Year, we ask You to be
with us each step of the way
PRAYER FOR THE COURAGE TO
SEEK HELP -from Straight from the Heart
by Father Mario Ladra
Afraid and confused, we come to you Lord. After so
many difficult days and nights, we simply don’t know
where to turn and what to do.
Help us and all those who are in need of courage to
seek help for our problems.
Grant us the grace to know our limits as we begin to
solve the problems which now weigh so heavily upon
us.
Be with us as we reach out for the help which will
restore balance and serenity to our lives
As we recover, learn and grow from this experience,
may we always take the time to reach out to others
with the tenderness and compassion that e so long for
at this time.
Amen.

APPEAL FOR OTHER CLUBS TO JOIN THE
BOOKS ACROSS THE SEAS
SULU PROJECT By President Al Villacorte and PP Alex Buot
Fellow Rotarians,
An old Nigerian proverb says it takes a whole village to raise a
child.
How often do we think about Southern Mindanao, home to the
poorest provinces in the country? And how often do we think of
the people there, especially the children, who practically grew up
in a war zone, deprived of the simple joys of childhood, and iso-
lated by a tradition of mistrust and animosity toward their Chris-
tian brothers?
The need for service is undeniably greater in this part of our com-
mon village. We Rotarians, in our own little way, can help build
bridges and reach out to these children. We can contribute our
share, even from the comfort and safety of our homes, in the con-
tinuing effort to find peace in that part of our country.
Indeed the children are our future. And the seed of hope, of
peace, must be planted now in their hearts, in their
minds. Through access to education, we can help in molding
them to think correctly, to judge rightly and fairly, and to have a
sense of belonging to the national community.
The Rotary Club of New Manila Heights invites you to join us in
this worthy advocacy - Books for Peace - for the sake of the chil-
dren and the future of Southern Mindanao.
Let's truly engage Rotary and forever change lives!

BUILDUP OF MEMBERSHIP IN RCMNH
Every year Rotary encourages all clubs to build up their member-
ship in both quantity and quality, but except for basic guidelines,
generally leaves it to each club to generate their own strategies for
growth. In our club, we have come up with our own guidelines,
drawn from our combined wisdom over the years. These are:
1. There is no particular season for recruitment. It is a 24/7, 365
days a year activity. Reason: the opportunity to recruit can
occur any time, any place. Since recruiting good prospects is
really a contest not just among Rotary clubs but by all organi-
zations, then it is a first come first served situation. If you let
go of a good prospect, somebody else will grab him/her.
2.
2. Keeping the member may be as difficult as recruiting one.
Every worthwhile member wants to stay in an organization, where
he/she can contribute meaningfully, can have an opportunity to
learn, and is having fun while doing it. That is why the biggest
problem is often the plague of boring meetings. For a group of
people who are supposed to be leaders, it is simply amazing how
many clubs keep on holding boring meetings. Why would any per-
son wish to keep attending boring meetings when there are many
other useful things that one can do?
3. No matter how educated or intelligent one his, there is always
something we can learn from others, but it takes a large dose of
humility to do so. One way to learn is to listen to the speaker, and
not to your neighbor. Respectful listening is the first rule of learn-
ing, and it is also a mark of good manners. Imagine if you were the
one speaking and nobody is listening because they are talking to
each other. You will feel insulted and vow never to join Rotary.

learning experience of a site visit in invaluable in the
assessment and sustainability of the club’s projects
ROTARY CLUB OF NEW MANILA HEIGHTS IS
OFF TO A FAST START
President Al Villacorte is off to a fast start and given his inclination for
consensus, he truly is getting the support of all his co-Rotarians

PRESIDENT’S CORNER
President Amba “Al” Villacorte
Admittedly, it was a "stressful" start of my presidency. I was blind-
sided by the "missing" text of the Four Way Test, and consequently lost
my way. I learned my first lesson: always expect the unexpected.
Another lesson: I have taken for granted the weekly ritual of reciting
the Four Way Test, not really taking it to heart. Four years into Ro-
tary . . . I have not reconciled myself with its seemingly medieval prac-
tice, honorific titles, and pageantry. Perhaps this explains my hesi-
tancy. One part unwilling, another part unpreparedness. I am a Rotar-
ian-in-progress: I have so much to learn, imbibe, embrace.
These are some of the things I left unsaid last Tuesday.
What kind of a president would I want to be? It's rather obvious, given
my professional background and personality , that you'll have a presi-
dent who would talk less and listen more.
I would like to be a consensual president. Working with a group com-
posed mostly of former district and club officers, I will welcome, nay,
solicit your collective advice and support.
I shall listen to all voices, entertain all ideas, and be sensitive to all con-
cerns. I prefer a decision that everybody would be happy to follow and
implement because they contributed to its making. In between meet-
ings, we can make use of the internet to exchange views on club pro-
jects and related matters, or thresh out existing issues.
A word more. At this stage in our life, perhaps respect for the sensibilities of others is what we all need before engag-ing Rotary and become part of its ideals of service to hu-manity. This is my only wish, my one expectation, and if we can practice this and achieve nothing else during the year, I would still consider my term a resounding suc-cess.
July 2, the First Meeting of Rotary Year 2013-2014 By PDS Jun San Juan
The first meeting of the Rotary Year 2013-2014 actually went on smoothly
with some minor surprises along the way. Without the newsletter version of
the Four-Way Test, Our President, Al Villacorte had to summon all his mem-
ory cells to deliver the words of the Four Way Test perfectly.
I would also like to thank the contributors to the first issue of the Bulletin who
literally burned the midnight oil to ensure that the maiden issue came out.
Special mention to PP Elsa Unson, IPP Alex Arrojo, PDG Mar Nery, Pres Al
Villacorte , PP Alex Buot who coordinated that maiden issue will come out
on time.
We live in a world of stress and it was an opportune time that our guest
speaker was a doctor , Dr. Offie Nubla, who talked on the causes of stress and
handling stress . For many, there were helpful hints that we can use in our
daily lives.
July 1 also was landmark day for Philippine Rotary as all 10 districts joined
hands in the tree planting project launching that was held in our own district
location in Payatas. PP Baby Allado was there.
I would also like to recognize PP Jodie Moreno who remitted his second Paul
Harris contribution on our first meeting day to D3780 TRF chair, PP Becca de
La Cruz of RC Batasan Hills.
The raffle of the beautiful Ming jar of Rtn Inday Nery netted PHP 3,000 for
the club with PP Boyet Alfonso winning the raffle item. I understand we will
have another worthwhile item for this meeting.
A visit to the housing project in San Mateo which the members supported was
done by FCP Al, IPP Alex and Spouse Joy, PP Baby and PP Jodie
We encouraged some our members to attend the July 6 Membership Develop-
ment Summit to get more insights into improving our membership numbers
and ability to retain members.
Lastly, I am encouraging all members to pay their dues, preferably semi-
annually, or if not, religiously pay their monthly installments. This will go a
long way in making the operations of the club run smoothly.
The road to success really begins with one small step and I am hopeful that
we all march in that direction.
COMMUNITY SINGING
Impossile Dream
By Matt Monro
To dream the impossible dream, To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow, To run where the brave dare not go.
To right the unrightable wrong, To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary, To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star,No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there’s no more to give, To be willing to die so that honor
and justice may live
And I know if I’ll only be true to this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I’m laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this, That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage, To reach the unreachable star.

country and is meant to help the seniors discover and achieve the
