Read MoreRotary Clubs Collaborate to Create Positive Change in Communities
The Rotary Club of Arusha Tanzania and the Rotary CDO East Urban ladies have a lot in common, including their shared commitment to creating positive change in their communities. During her visit, PE Linda had the opportunity to witness firsthand the impact of Vei’s Water Operator Partnerships in the Philippines. She also learned about the community projects being implemented by the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro East Urban. One of the projects that caught PE Linda’s attention was the club’s initiative to promote sustainable farming practices through their “Urban Gardening” project. The project aims to provide an alternative source of income for families in urban areas while promoting healthy living. The initiative has been successful in producing organic vegetables that are sold in local markets. PE Linda also expressed her admiration for the club’s efforts in promoting literacy through their “Share-a-Book” project. The program provides books to children in underprivileged communities, promoting a culture of reading and learning. Through this initiative, children gain access to books they would not otherwise have access to, which can positively impact their academic and personal development. The visit was an opportunity for both clubs to learn from each other, share best practices, and explore potential collaborations. At the end of the meeting, both clubs agreed to explore ways to work together on future projects. The Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro East Urban expressed their gratitude to President-Elect Linda J.S. Baas and Tine Hemelings for their visit and for sharing their insights. They look forward to continuing the conversation and exploring opportunities for collaboration in the future. Overall, the visit was a reminder of the power of Rotary to bring people together across borders and work towards a common goal of creating positive change in the world. It is through these partnerships and collaborations that we can make a meaningful impact and create a better future for generations to come. Check out more photos on our facebook...

The invitation to come in pastel colors was not only well received but looked forward to with anticipation. The place at the third floor of the New Dawn Hotel was likewise splashed with pastel colors from the balloons festooned on the walls to pastel table covers. Excitement took over every Rotarian present who enthusiastically joined in common games like Trip to Jerusalem, The Boat is Sinking, Sudden Death, and many more that the Game Master and the committee could think of. New members gamely joined with the older ones thus solidifying the relationships and surely strengthening the club membership. Raffle prizes were in abundance courtesy of some Rotarians from the...
Read MoreRotary Basics & Last Weekly Meeting for the Rotary Year
June 27, 2019 From Your Secretary’s Pen By: Melanie P. Caragos-Talimio Maison de Bonbon was a hive of activity last Thursday afternoon to early evening with the presence of the ladies from the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro EAST URBAN. The first activity was the board meeting of the new set of officers led by PE Linda Rosalinda Caragos. The meeting focused on projects for the month of July kicking off with a gift-giving and feeding of children beneficiaries on July 1. A good number of members have already committed to attend the service project, PDG Bing Fe Rosales Juarez took the floor by 4pm for the initiation of the club’s prospective members. Armed with a good presentation on Rotary Basics, she was able to engage the 9 soon-to-be-Rotarians on what Rotary is and what it means to be a Rotarian. For current members present, it was also refreshing to listen and be reminded of the organization’s history, it’s purpose and goals, and why they chose to stay in the club and make Rotary their way of life. My warm Welcome to the new members: Ophelia Paano, Pam Navarro-Salon, My Sicat, Alyn Booc, Tina Casiño, Gingging Empedrad, Chaissa Dulguime, Nenette Rebolos, and Mich Nocete ? After the short study, President Joy Lesandra Gan commenced with the last RCEU regular meeting for the RY 2018-19. As she called the meeting to order, I felt a palpable twang of sadness to see the end of a banner year. As emcee and PP Ophelia Dela Cerna called her attention to this, Pres Joy replied that on the contrary, she’s very happy, and the proof of it can be seen on her genuine and winning smile. Congratulations Pres. Joy for bringing the club great honor! Amidst all the buzz, food was overflowing, from different breads and jams, to grapes and imported cheese, to the crispy lechon, to a dessert table of cookies and stuff, no wonder I keep on gaining weight! Thank you to all the food sponsors, and oh yes, thank you Pres. Joy for the early bird awards you prepared. I was one of the lucky winners. ? The new board of officers in action. New Generations Director Stephanie Caragos is busily typing notes while Old generation ladies like me still use the traditional pen and paper ?
