District 3850 MAKE DREAMS REAL team had a very successful 2nd Round of DISTRICT ASSEMBLY (DISTAS) last May 17, 2008 at Amigo Terrace Hotel, Iloilo City, hosted with enthusiasm by RC Midtown Iloilo.
The Distas was surprisingly a full house inspite of the not so cooperating weather that day.
I do not know with others, but this is how i felt: (april_73uk@yahoo.co.uk)
Prior to the preparation of Distas, information dissemination and campaign for attendance were done to all the clubs in the District. The second round of Distas was made possible thru the enthusiasm herself of Incoming District Governor Emma Nava, who believed that incoming officers who did not made it to the 1st round, deserved a second chance. With the
tedious preparation by RC Midtown, thanks heaven that everything went smooth. For those who missed it, for the second time, the third time would be too much (just kidding...). Seriously, attending this very important training workshop and seminar as incoming officers for RY 2008-09 is actually a big help and a learning opportunities especially for the new Rotarians and incoming officers in particular. This year is so different that the District team for this year deserve a commendation.

..(considering the lunch with gusto, we can take another dessert actually hehehe, esp the cherries :) ) and of course, who brave the river to cross in order to be with us, the seasoned speaker PP Jundad who talked on the topics - PUBLIC RELATIONS AND LEADERSHIP. So, who can bit the team of caliber speakers whom we appreciated for the first time and who has brought the room down with laughters and more learning opportunities with the delegates all attentive and wide eyes (and mouth, too) open with awe.

The club is most grateful to incoming Vice-President Pete Ruiz and Youth Chair, Rtn. Winnie Bersanas for the unexpected attendance. To the rest of you, hope we see you again in the next future seminars this RY 2008-09. It indeed pave the way for us to learn new things in Rotary held every year in antipation for the
coming Rotary year. We yearn for more Rotary Education, it is better to hear it first hand, than reading the manual, huh!

After the Distas in Iloilo, I had to travel to Roxas City the same day to fulfill another commitment of supporting RC Roxas in their fundraising project. With me were the family of Rtn. Voi and Ann Eden Quinto of RC Metro Kalibo who met up with
me in the city, too. Thank you to PP Rueben Yap and family of Capiz Bay Resort for the wonderful weekend treat (had fun fishing for a meal hehehe) after the SIDE A show at Capiz Gym and to DGN Edgar Sy for the tickets, too. Rota kids of two families of Rotarians benefited from your kindness. Good thing there is still more tickets at the booth hehehe. Congratulations to classmate IP Pip and RC Roxas for the well applauded concert for a cause. We really had fun while helping at the same time. Cheers!
