Welcome to the Global Kalinga e-Rotary Club for the week of Sunday, October 23 through Saturday October 29, 2016. We are an Internet based Rotary Club based in Quezon City, Philippines with core groups of members in Southern California and elsewhere. We serve our local and nearby communities as well as projects in the Philippines.
Invocation
Dear God, we appreciate how blessed we truly are – with more than simply the necessities of life, with prosperity, with family, with friendship. As we enjoy the support within the “family of Rotary”, help us to reach out to those families less fortunate than us within our own community and around the world.
As we appreciate our health, give us the means through our work with the Rotary Foundation to help cure the ills of the world. And may we see the day soon when polio will be eliminated from the face of the earth. Inspire us to work to rid the world of hunger and to help bring to the world clean drinkable water. And as we consider Your teachings, inspire us to serve You so that there may truly be peace and understanding throughout the world.
Gracious God, Help us to work together within Rotary so that we may do Your bidding on this earth. Amen.
Rotary 4-Way Test
Of the things we think, say or do: 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?”
By building your team's self-esteem and encouraging them, the entire team becomes stronger.

Take your time and sing-along (wherever you may be).
Fine Master
Traditionally, Rotary clubs have Fine Masters who are responsible for collecting fines/happy dollars. The clipart to your left is our e-club Fine Master. Do you have happy dollars, a birthday, an anniversary, a promotion, opening a new business, new car, new child, new grandchild, etc. Please feel free (and perhaps obligated) to click on our Rotary Fine Master button to your right.
The minimum fine is $3.00 to ensure a sufficient amount to take care of the PayPal fee. The purpose of the fines can be viewed by clicking on [View Fines/Happy Dollars] from the [Weekly Meetings] main menu
Program—PETS Training
Rotary Foundation Trustee and International PolioPlus Committee Chair, Michael K. McGovern, provides a stimulating talk about where the next major projects will come from - the clubs around the world.
He begins with a story about finding a restaurant serving a particutar dish. Though the story seems totally unrelated to Rotary, it is. He ends with a rap up of PolioPlus which is particularly appropriate because this Monday, October 25, Rotary International is having Rotary's World Polio Day Livestream Event. Details are available on our calendar
