Last August 20, members of the
Rotary Clubs of D3790 gathered
and attended The Rotary
Foundation Seminar at Sison
Auditorium, Lingayen, Pangasinan,
hosted by the Rotary Club of
Binmaley.
The seminar was opened by District
Gov. Raul Peralta, who also
encouraged his fellow Rotarians to
do everyones part to achieve this
year’s TRF goals.
It was further explained by the
Regional Rotary Foundation Chair
PDG Jess Nicdao who gave the
updates on TRF. He gave us the
district’s TRF goal of $400,00.00.
According to him, it is attainable
especially if all clubs will contribute
to TRF. He also encouraged
Rotarians to be a Benefactor. Being
benefactor means leaving ay least
$1,000.00 to TRF in his will, much
easier than being a part of Bequest
Society who needs to leave at least
$10,000.00.
The seminar participants were then
grouped into three for the breakout
sessions. TRF Appreciations and
Recognitions was tackled by the
Dist. Chair on Stewardship PDG Vitt
Guttierez. Stewadrship and
Financial Management was
explained by Asst. Regional Rotary
Foundation Chair PDG Mike Lirio.
Grant Management was explained
by Regional Rotary Foundation
Chair PDG Jess Nicdao. Applying
for Global Grants was taught to us
step by step by PDG Linda Winter,
PP Glo Nethercutt, and PP Chie
Galura.
The core of the seminar is
encourage all clubs to continue its
dedication to contribute to the
Rotary Foundation. But it does not
stop with the club contributions. As a
club, we are committing a disservice
to our community if we do not apply
for a global grant. Minimum project
cost of $30,000.00 will create a big
positive impact to our community.
