The family of Rotary Month in December comes
at a time when all are looking forward to the
festivities associated with the end of year.
As you look forward to the holidays, I would like you
to also take time to review your effectiveness as a
club and as a leader in the roles and responsibilities
entrusted to you.
The recently released first quarter rankings shows
areas of growth that you as a Rotaractor can provoke
your club to aspire to. Based on the feedback from
the first quarter reporting, the District Team has
reviewed the content of the second quarter Reporting
Template to incorporate learning experiences in the
four avenues of service. I urge all clubs to ensure
that their second quarter reports are handed-in. This
will determine the winner of the Best Rotaract Club
since the District Team would like to see a winner that
has shown persistence in sharing their approaches to
service and resilient performance.
It is with great joy that I join the Rotaract (Rotary) Family in ushering in the year 2007-2008 with the theme ROTARY SHARES .
Of course this theme has nothing to do with the listing of Rotary on any of the stock exchanges of the world but rather a call to
share ideas and resources to grow Club membership and effectiveness in projects.
Special emphasis has been set on Net Membership increase and I take this opportunity to share that that our Rotaract Clubs goals is to have a net membership increase of one new member every half year. This should be indicative in all Rotaract functions like ROTS, RYLA, and District Conference etc where each Club will be required to have atleast one additional member in attendance.
As Rotaractors, we have benefited from the mentorship
of our Rotarians and it is important that we share the
fruitage by reaching out to Interactors who are the largest
buffer opportunity for Rotaract membership. I request you
to not only identify Interact Clubs that you can mentor but
also support your Rotary (Mother) Clubs in forming Interact
clubs.
How can you connect your club to younger people? That's the question on many Rotarians' minds. Fortunately, we can share many strategies. Perhaps you have asked a younger person to become a member or simply to join a service project. What did you learn? Come to this session to exchange ideas about how to engage the next generation of Rotarians.
Hello Friends!!
Warm Rotaract Greetings!
This is a presentation made on the Orientation of Rotaract Movement. You can use this medium to explain your respective clubs about the happenings of Rotaract Fraternity.
Rotary Foundation Month in November
commemorates the establishment of the
foundation for Peace and Understanding in
1917. This was right after the First World War that
saw more than 10 million people killed. November
also brings the Memory of the Founding of the pillar
of “Rotary giving”- The Rotary Foundation by Arch C.
Klumph (R.I President 1916-17). … I came across an
interesting article honoring PDG Yusuf Kodwavwala
in the Rotarian Magazine of November 2007. Read it

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

The Rotary Year 2019-2020 in its aim to CONNECT THE WORLD
comes with the vow of introducing a trailblazing yet prodigious change
in District 3860’s Governor Monthly Letter (GML) commencing with
its name. After countless evocations, propositions and brainstorming,
we are excited to share the launch of a brand new GML under a new
banner. Welcome the new GML - THE TORCH 3860.
With the ever-increasing surge of new technology, neoteric millennial
trends, up-to-the minute updates in FB and our constantly busy lifestyles,
it is so easy to accept that it will be laborious imposition to read long
verbose articles on glossy paper. Hence, this will be the first and last
printed magazine of THE TORCH 3860 with the maiden issue focused
solely on the latest significant events in the District like the DISTAS,
TURNOVER by Past District Governor Bing to District Governor
Philip Tan and the AWARDS & RECOGNITION. The succeeding
issues will all be in DIGITAL form.
Do expect the regular columns on GOVERNOR’s MESSAGE,
SECRETARY’S DISPATCH, CETERIS PARIBUS (All Other Things
Being Equal ), THRUSTS AND FOCUS on Membership, Youth, TRF
and Public Image. Get used to a lot of fascinating pictures that speak
volumes of the service that Rotarians do in CLUB CONNECTION.
With just the click of a finger, you can simply browse and surf THE
TORCH 3860in the website, which we can only hope to reach more
people, and entice them to experience the exciting and engaging lives of
Rotary service.
We may have gone epic with this bold move to go paperless but let
this be a rousing approach to adapt to the times. Together, let us raise
THE TORCH 3860 up high so it can shed its light and bring in more
individuals into the path of genuine fellowship and selfless service.

The Torch 3860: Governor’s Monthly Letter
4. Dear Champion Team,
As has always been the practice of Rotary International,
June 30 marks the end of the Rotary year and July 1
signals the beginning of a new one! I congratulate all
officers both district and clubs levels for accepting your
respective roles this Rotary year.
Our RI President Mark Maloney has given us with
a significant theme this year – Rotary Connects the
World. I personally like this theme because Rotary
has indeed provided us with different avenues on how
we can connect to each other in deeper and more
meaningful ways.
I would like to congratulate the Governor’s Monthly
Letter (GML) Editorial Team, headed by Maricel
Amores, Past President of Rotary Club of Cebu Fuente
for coming out with The Torch 3860, as the official
publication of the Office of the District Governor for
Rotary International District 3860.
The Torch 3860, our Governor’s Monthly Letter, is my
way as your District Governor to connect to you. A
torch, a handy means of illumination, is an important
element in the Olympics that significantly marks the
spirit of a true champion.
So my fellow Rotarians, you are all champions in your
own right. Let the fire of the Torch keep burning in
your hearts as you connect to the world!
Philip N. Tan
Governor
Rotary District 3860

The Torch 3860: Governor’s Monthly Letter
5. “In Rotary, none of us is
an island.”
I love to travel! I even enjoy the mundane process
of getting from here to there. But last year, my wife,
Gay, and I had one of those experiences that would
strain the optimism of even the most cheerful
traveler.
We found ourselves with six hours to wait, at an
airport where we were not scheduled to be, on a
day we had not planned still to be traveling, having
woken up that morning at a hotel unknown to us
the night before. It was one of those days. As we
waited at John F. Kennedy International Airport
in New York City, Gay and I took a walk to people
watch. We went from one end of the terminal to
the other and back, looking at every gate, every
destination, every group of people waiting for their
flights. Each gate was its own island of humanity.
When we walked down the center of the concourse,
we were in New York, moving along with everyone
in one river. But when you veered off into those
seats, you left that current and landed on an island.
You were already in Delhi or Paris or Tel Aviv. As
we started our walk, I thought: “All these different
people, all these different countries, all in one place.
This is like Rotary!” But as we walked past gate after
gate, I realized something. It was not like Rotary at
all. Because everyone in that river was heading for
an island. And every island stayed an island. The
people heading to Taipei might be talking to one
another, but they were not talking to the people
heading to Cairo or Lagos. Contrast that with
Rotary.
Rotary allows us to connect with one another,
in deep and meaningful ways, across our
differences. It connects us with people we would
never otherwise have met, who are more like
us than we ever could have known. It connects
us with our communities, to professional
opportunities, and to the people who need our
help. Connection is what makes the experience
of Rotary so very different from walking along
that concourse at JFK Airport. In Rotary,
none of us is an island. All of us are in Rotary
together, whoever we are, wherever we are from,
whatever language we speak or traditions we
follow. We are all connected to one another —
part of our communities and members not only
of our clubs, but also of the global community to
which we all belong. This connection is what lies
at the heart of the Rotary experience. It is what
brings us to Rotary. It is why we stay. Please join
your fellow Rotarians on this journey as Rotary
Connects the World.

8. MEMBERSHIP FAST FACTS
Who can join?We’re looking for people who
want to give back to their communities.Rotary clubs
also welcome Rotaractors, Rotary Peace Fellows, and
other members of the family of Rotary who qualify
for membership.
What are the benefits? Becoming a Rotary
member connects you with a diverse group of
professionals who share your drive to give back.
Through regular meetings and events, you’ll:
- Discuss your community’s needs and develop
creative ways to meet them
- Connect with other leaders who are changing the
world
- Expand your leadership and professional skills
- Catch up with good friends and meet new ones
How can I become a member? Clubs accept
new members by invitation.To help us find the right
club for you, we’ll ask you a few questions about
yourself and your interests.Then we’ll share your
answers with Rotary leaders in your community who
will match you with a club.
What is the Classification Principle?The
Classification Principle.Virtually all membership in
Rotary is based upon a “classification:’ Basically, a
classification describes the distinct and recognized
business or professional service that the Rotarian renders
to society.
In determining the classification of a Rotarian, it is
necessary to look at the “principal or recognized business
or professional activity of the firm, company, or
institution” with which an active member is connected or
“that which covers the active member’s principal and
recognized business or professional activity.”
It should be clearly understood that classifications are
determined by activities or services to society rather than
by the position held by a particular individual. In other
words, if a person is the president of a bank, he or she is
not classified as “bank president” but under the
classification “banking.”
How often should clubs meet? Clubs should
offer opportunities to meet twice per month at
minimum.Those meetings could be traditional
meetings, social outings, service projects, etc. Clubs
that wish to meet more often can do so.
Are clubs allowed to remove attendance
requirements ?Yes. Clubs are encouraged to relax
attendance expectations or not have them at all. Our
research shows that rigid rules and policies are a
barrier to attracting new members and engaging
current ones. Further, it excludes younger profession-
als who have developing careers and young families.
Attending meetings is an opportunity, not an
obligation.
What member types exist ? There can be as
many types of membership as are created by clubs.
Some popular examples are corporate, family, or
younger professional membership. However, a club is
free to design different membership types that attract
diverse members, as long as it’s documented how
they differ from traditional membership in their club
bylaws.The Rotary International database does not
track membership types – only whether a member is
active or honorary.
How do corporate memberships work?
Your club is free to offer alternative membership
types of any kind, as long as new members are
counted as individuals — corporate members in this
case — rather than the corporations that sponsor
their membership. If the members pay RI dues, they
will be included in your club's official membership
count and receive all the benefits that other active,
dues-paying members enjoy. Your club can have
different policies for these members' other financial
obligations (club and district dues, meal costs, etc.),
attendance requirements, or service expectations, as
long as these policies are reflected in the club bylaws.
Learn more in our Guide to Corporate Membership.
What is a passport club?Passport clubs are
Rotary clubs that are using a model that gives
members a more flexible club experience, such as
frequently visiting other clubs, a relaxed attendance
policy, and meetings that don’t involve a meal and a
speaker.The term “passport” refers to the ability to
move freely from club to club visiting meetings or
participating in their activities. Any Rotarian can visit
another club when traveling, but passport clubs
encourage their members to do so on a regular basis.
This is how passport clubs got their name.

How does a satellite club work? Satellite clubs are
branch clubs of a sponsor club.The satellite club members are
Rotarians and considered members of the sponsor club. Only
eight members and the support of a sponsor club are needed to
start a satellite club.They often offer a different club environment
or meeting time and location from their sponsor club. Like a
Rotary club, satellite clubs hold regular meetings, have bylaws
and a board, and get involved in community service projects.The
sponsor club provides advice and support. In some cases, satellite
clubs may grow and apply to become a separate Rotary club.
Satellite club members are Rotarians. Officially, they are
members of the sponsor club. For more information, see the
Guide to Satellite Clubs and the Satellite Club Frequently Asked
Questions
What is expected of members? They are expected to
meet attendance requirements, pay dues, and bring new members
into Rotary. Honorary Rotary membership may be offered to
people who have distinguished themselves by meritorious service
in the furtherance of Rotaryideals.

15. WHAT IS POLIO?
Polio is an ancient disease. It is an intestinal
virus that is mostly spread from
person-to-person contact, especially where
hygiene is poor. It can cause irreversible
paralysis, and sometimes death. It strikes
mainly children under the age of 5.

CREATE TO HELP WORKSHOP:
A R T I N T H E H E A R T O F S E R V I C E
Rotaract Club Of Tagbilaran Community Based
Educating the youth to utilize used and recyclable materials
into works of art at the same breath instilling in them the
importance of taking care of our environment is one creative
approach. Rotaract has always been a platform of community
service with environmental development as the main thrust.
Rotaractors go the distance by travelling to the remote Balicasag
Island in Bohol to conduct their “Operation Tuli and Medical
Mission. It was a worthwhile project that many individuals
benefitted by this Medical Mission.
While young ones would use their time frolicking in the beach or
mall hopping during summer, these Rotaractors from Rotaract
Club of Tagbilaran chose to render service for others.
Rotaract not only gives back to the
community they belong but develops
and hones the potentials of their
members to evolve as great leaders.
The first U SPEAK FORUM with
eloquent speakers delved on
diversified topics for the Rotaractors.
