 Presidents Message
ROZANNE Twinkle C. GAMBOA
President, RY 2016-2017
Thank you so much STAR Team and fellow
Downtowners!
We have survived the Governors Visit last June 27
and the first regular meeting to usher in Rotary year
2016-2017 last July 6! The visit of District Governor
Meanne and District Secretary Lilu was a pleasant
surprise! Are we destined to bringing back the glorious
days of RCDD? With your help and our teamwork, yes
we can. Lets do it fellow Downtowners!
Today, we are to review the clubs Plans and
Objectives to address the RI Presidential Challenge and
District Governors Challenge. This was prepared on
the basis of your own Strategic Plans which we hope
to realize and achieve within RY 2016-2017, but not
later than March, 2017. I urge you to please give your
opinions on how we can easily achieve our objectives.
Plans remain as plans on paper if they are not put to
action. So please let us work together not for anything
else, but for our honest intentions of serving humanity.
Awards come as mere bonuses.
The feeling of having served and making a
difference in the lives of those who needed our help is
the highest satisfaction we could ever aim for.
Daghang salamat!
THE MISSION OF ROTARY
INTERNATIONAL
We provide service to others, promote integrity and advance
world understanding, goodwill and peace through our
fellowship of business, professional and community leader.

A landmark achievement was made during RY 1998-1999 under the leadership of Duterte
President Linda C. Tesoro. RCDD bested all Rotary clubs in the district with a Grand
Slam, wining all four of the major district awards: Most Outstnding Club, President, Multi-purpose Building: Center for
