Invocation
Dear GOD of infinite wisdom, in Your mysterious and
inscrutable ways, You have bestowed upon us a very
fundamental power called freedom.
We humbly beseech You to grant unto us true
understanding of freedom; that it is not only a privilege but
also a responsibility. Make us realize that freedom is
something divine within us, so that it impels us to seek the
truth, to aim at perfection, and to arrive at perfect union
with You, our God.
We know that freedom is also about rights. We can only
exercise rights in relation to others. Freedom therefore
entails respect for others. Teach us then to reach out to
others in charity and in the spirit of fellowship, with good
will and transparency.
Freedom leads to diversity and a deep respect for what
makes us different from one another. Dear Father, grant
unto us this unity in diversity which is what freedom brings,
a unity that will set us free. Amen.

Rotary Information…
Rotary Institutes
Each year, past, present, and incoming district and senior leaders
attend Rotary institutes to share information, build connections, and
exchange ideas about Rotary International and The Rotary
Foundation. The institutes usually meet for three to five days, and
the program includes:
• An update on The Rotary Foundation and its programs
• A report on our polio eradication efforts
• A five-year forecast presented by a director or other Board
representative
• An open forum where participants can make recommendations
to the Board
• Local and international speakers sharing information on relevant
topics
• A chance to network, reconnect with friends, and find inspiration
for continuing your service and leadership in your community
• Entertainment and social outings
During Council on Legislation years, Rotary institutes also include
a session for Council representatives and alternates and a general
session for discussing Council proposals.
Organizing the institute
An institute may assemble leaders from one zone, part of a zone,
or several zones. The RI president designates one or more
conveners to organize each institute and serve as his or her
representative there. Past Rotary officers often participate as
speakers, panelists, discussion leaders, and institute committee
members.
Who can attend
Past, present, and future district governors, RI presidents,
directors, trustees, and regional leaders attend Rotary institutes.

ROTARY CLUB OF SOUTH DAVAO
The Rotary Foundation Contributors
The President’s Corner Emmanuel “Noel“ Villa-Abrille
Club President
I would like to share an article that I read from rotary.org by Maria
Sol Cases which is part of the thrust of our District Governor to
focus more on millennial members.
“Rotaractors mark a milestone at International Assembly”.
By Maria Sol Cases, Rotaract Club Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina.
For a week in January, 60 Rotaractors from all over the world
actively participated in the International Assembly, Rotary’s annual
training event for incoming leaders, and it was, without any doubt,
a life-changing experience for me. I sincerely believe that week
marked a milestone.
I arrived in San Diego, California, USA, with a feeling of uncertainty
about the role we would have and the purpose of our visit.
Representing roughly 170,000 Rotaractors is not easy. I returned
home more committed to Rotary than I was, full of responsibility
toward the continuity of the organization and as an ambassador of
the present.
Exchanging ideas
The opportunity to exchange views with past and present RI
presidents, directors, Rotary International’s staff, the 525
governors-elect and the other 59 Rotaractors has completely
changed my point of view and my perspective. We debated how to
best promote Rotary, expand membership, implement the change
we desire, and execute the new strategic plan. We also talked
about how to develop action plans and bring back every little thing
we worked on at the Assembly to our countries and districts.
Moreover, we had an opportunity to share with the governors
Rotaract’s potential and the way in which they would benefit by
working together with these young leaders.

cont…Pres. Message
Our presence was announced and talked about during
speeches, general sessions, training room and even during
conversations in the hotel lobby, at lunchtime, dinner and in
the elevator. Rotarians asked for our opinions and ideas.
They listened to us with great interest.
During the entire event, we exchanged ideas on flexibility,
innovation, new models of membership, and adaptability. We
discussed ways to increase our impact, manage meaningful
transitions from Rotaract to Rotary, expand our reach and
better engage our members.
Just the beginning
This is my fifteenth year in the Rotarian family and I have
never felt as enthusiastic as I feel today in relation of the
initiatives implemented by Rotary International to guarantee
the sustainability of the organization for the years to come.
What happened during the Assembly is just the beginning.
We feel more connected and inspired than ever before, and
have been sharing the topics developed at the Assembly with
our members. We have so much to do and much more is yet
to come.
