Clean Drinking Water Project Launched
Our President Joe Reano, Director Tony Newnham, and Dir. Ian Alas gave away 2 sets of water purifier to RC-Makati North’s Community Corps at Barangay Singkamas and Sta. Cruz for the Launching of Clean Drinking Water Project last August 28th. The initial plan would be to give 5 sets for each Barangay where the purified waters will be sold to household members or even to business establishments. The cost of each unit is only Php6,000, which would be considered as an investment and be paid back. PP Dieter Brueckner is the supplier of these units hence, the reason why we got it at cost value. This program is part of our President Joe Reano’s “sustainability projects” for our Barangay to help each community to help themselves.

President's Corner
So, Happy New Year, damn it!
Before anything else, allow me to wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year.
Perhaps not a few of you are tired of getting this greeting, which probably swamped your mobile phone and e-mail mailboxes. Given the challenges ahead – the global crisis, its repercussions here, the run-up to the next national elections, and others – maybe it will help to hear more well wishes.
So, happy New Year, damn it!
Seriously, the gloomy forecast suggests that this year Rotary is more relevant. Many of us are already feeling the pinch, and the others are probably bracing themselves for the worst. But in a sense, we are still the lucky ones. Imagine the hardship and anxiety of those with lesser means. No matter how difficult our situation is now, there always seems to be someone else somewhere experiencing something worse.
