DISTRICT GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE

William Pastor P. Delloro Jr.

Hope Creating District Governor

SEPTEMBER - GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE

In 1915, our founder Paul Harris wrote in one of his anniversary messages: “What Rotary will be one hundred years hence, none living can imagine. There is nothing impossible to Rotary now.”

We have a membership base that is constantly growing as well as innumerable service projects that continues to positively impact our communities. As a district, we have adapted and improved year and year again. Then and now with our members becoming more Rotarized, truly, nothing is impossible to Rotary
Thus, let us wholeheartedly devote ourselves to another year of Service Above Self, to a wonderful and life-changing opportunity of being bearers of hope. We are challenged to do better, but I have no doubt about the capacity of our district—as we have proven before, together, this Rotary Year, we can do it once more.

As Past RI President Snedecor said, “Rotary’s strength lies in the sincerity of purpose of its members.” We have the passion and vigor to transform communities. With us working together toward the same vision, our district will stand the test of time.

But I also would like to stress an important aspect of our Rotary life, and that is fellowship. Let us not forget this quote from Paul Harris: “May our happiness increase with our usefulness.” We joined Rotary for a number of reasons, but among these, we find solace, belongingness, and friendship in this organization. After all, Rotary started with that and found its purpose through fellowship. So, my dear fellow Rotarians, let us enjoy as much as we serve.

Let us Create Hope in the World! And let us continue to forge a district that is Diverse but One and make more fond memories together.

AUGUST - GOVERNOR'S 2ND MESSAGE

We have the incredible opportunity to make a difference in the world through our giving to the Rotary Foundation. Our giving allows us to address pressing issues across the globe and significantly improve communities. Our also giving ensures the sustainability of the entire Rotary for years and years to come.

Equally important is being actively involved in projects that align with our values as Rotarians. Willingly dedicating your time and presence to service is substantial enough. No objective can be achieved without it and I thank you all for devoting yourselves to advancing our causes.

As a district, our ultimate goal is to empower and inspire the communities to take action toward progress and resilience. This is why I encourage you to organize and develop our RCCs. This is how we create hope and how we make it last. And to ensure that we continue to make a profound transformation in the communities we serve, let us direct our efforts into our projects that are comprehensive and holistic in all Areas of Focus—disease prevention and treatment, maternal and child health, community economic development, basic education and literacy, peacebuilding and conflict prevention, water, hygiene, and sanitation, and the environment.

Let us continue to give generously to the Rotary Foundation and diligently carry out our responsibilities as leaders.

Together, we can Create Hope in the World!

AUGUST - GOVERNOR'S 1ST MESSAGE​

As we strive to make a lasting impact on our communities, it is crucial that we focus on sustainable high-impact projects. These are the initiatives that not only bring immediate relief but continue on to future generations.

I want you to address key issues faced by our communities to ensure that progress is felt and seen. Let us continue to think outside the box and leverage our technology to develop new solutions that have a long-lasting positive effect. By pooling our resources, knowledge, and skills in our service projects and forging strong partnerships and collaborations, we will be able to create projects that foster resilience in our communities. Ultimately, the strength of our membership is crucial in bringing these projects to life; more hands mean greater capacity to bring about change. Having more members sharing our vision and mission enables us to tackle any challenges, even the most daunting ones.

The spirit of Service Above Self is at the core of everything we do as leaders and unity in diversity becomes our strength as we come together as one Rotary family. With these, we can immensely
Create Hope in the World.

JULY - GOVERNOR'S 2ND MESSAGE

July is a challenging month for all of us. We are at a fundamental phase in our Rotary Year. As we navigate through our new roles, comply with a few other requirements, support our fellow Rotarians,
and develop and implement projects all at the same time, not to mention our personal commitments,
it can all be overwhelming.

I thank you for pushing through in all these endeavors. It is during difficult times that leadership shines brightest. I also want to let you know that we are on this journey together. Let us take solace in the fact that Rotary is built on the pillars of resilience, unity, and community service. As a network of compassionate individuals who share the same values and purpose, we have the strength and determination to weather any storm that comes our way.
While it is crucial to acknowledge the challenges we face, let us not forget to celebrate our past accomplishments as a club, as a district. Consider all the positive impacts you have made in our communities. These successes should fuel our motivation to persevere and continue making a difference.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment. Another year of service above self, another year of relentless dedication to our communities. Let us continue to serve as inspirations and do our best to
Create Hope in the World!

JULY - GOVERNOR'S 1ST MESSAGE

This year holds enormous potential for us to bring hope to our communities and beyond.

As you move forward as a club, offer your unwavering support to your President and Club Officers. Their leadership is a guiding light toward shared goals and vision. I also wholeheartedly invite all members to actively participate in all club and district activities. Your input and involvement in meetings and projects are crucial to the success of our endeavors. We all have a part to play. By representing your club and our district as you serve committees and volunteer for projects, local service initiatives, or international causes, you are extending Rotary to the world.
Lastly, I want to express my sincerest gratitude to you all for your unwavering support to me and my district officers. With the turnout of our recently concluded District Kick-Off, I am truly overwhelmed and moved by all the clubs for coming together in this event. That moment in our year of service will forever be remembered as this kind of kick-off is a first in the history of our district. Albeit challenging, we pulled it off because we were united and eager.
Together, we will fill this year and beyond with hope, thus, let us take every opportunity to work together and embrace our shared values so that we can make a lasting difference! Your passion, dedication, and contributions are the driving force behind our collective success. Let us continue to make meaningful impacts and change lives for the better. My fellow Rotarians, let us inspire, serve, and create Hope in the World!
