On December 8, 2020, it was raining hard in Lamut, Philippines. Despite second thoughts, seven Rotary Club of Lamut members joined staff from Ifugao State University (IFSU)-Lagawe campus, as well as members of the 1404th Ready Reserve Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army Reserve Command and the Hingyon Municipal Police on a long and slippery hike to Humalophop Elementary School located in rural Hingyon in Ifugao province. To get to Humalophop one must hike through the forest, mountains, and rice paddies on a narrow path for 2 to 4 hours, depending on whether it is dry season or wet season. Bridges over creeks are often two slippery logs laid next to each other. Why would seven Rotary Club members walk through the hard rain during the wet season, up mountains and through rice fields, going to a very far place with university staff, soldiers and police? This is our story.

A message from President Jennifer: During the 2019-20 Rotary year, the fifth Monday meeting date in a month will become a “Merry Monday." On a Merry Monday, the lunch meeting will be replaced by a social "happy hour-and-a-half" at Maceli’s from 5 pm-6:30 pm featuring appetizers and beverages. The first Merry Monday of the Rotary year will occur Monday, July 29, 2019, from 5 pm-6:30 pm at Maceli’s. We will not meet at noon on that date. This gathering is for club members and prospective members. You do not need to RSVP and there is no separate charge for Merry Monday attendance; the lunch meal fee for that day will cover it. Please join us at Maceli's on Monday, July 29, 2019 at 5 pm, (NOT noon) for this fun and social happy hour.

Besides this being our club's centennial year, we are also celebrating the 100th birthday of The Rotary Foundation. Created in 1917 with the $26.50 left over after paying the costs of that year's International Convention, the Foundation received just under $269 million in 2014-15 from Rotarians around the world. Cumulatively The Rotary Foundation has advanced $1.2 billion toward the eradication of polio and $2.2 billion to support Rotary programs of humanitarian service. Because of generous and sustained Rotarian donations, The Foundation fulfills its mission "to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty". Rotarians are "Doing Good in the World", through our Rotary Foundation.
