RC Kalibo Hosts Sectional District Seminar


Rotary International District 3850, District Governor Ramon "Toto" Cua Locsin, held a Sectional District Seminar on Membership, Literacy, Public Image, and Rotary Community Corps (RCC) for Panay Rotary Clubs (Zones 1-4) at the Sampaguita Gardens Resort, New Washington, Aklan, on September 16-17, 2006.
The seminar was hosted by the Rotary Club of Kalibo and involved the participation of the twenty two (22) Rotary Clubs in Panay, as well as the new provisional Rotary Club of Metro Roxas-Central. Some 150 Rotarians from all over Panay attended the seminar with their spouses and children. The seminar showcased the different products, services, and interesting spots of Aklan, particularly the venue Municipality of New Washington and the capital Ati-Atihan Town of Kalibo. They savored and experienced the amenities of the seminar venue, the world-class Sampaguita Gardens Resort.
The officers and members of the host club left no stone unturned and ensured a successful and memorable seminar. District Trainer, PDG Ma. Victoria "Nanette" Garcia, introduced an innovation with a Rotary Academy-type learning system. New Member Education — new Rotarians 0 - 2 years in Rotary (and even older!) — were encouraged to attend to learn more about Rotary. Interesting and relevant topics were prepared and discussed by excellent speakers which are: Membership, Literacy, Public Image, and Rotary Community Corps (RCC). A very enjoyable fellowship dinner (Hawaiian motif) in the evening of September 16 was one thing to remember.
To ensure the convenience, pleasure and frugality of participants, RC Kalibo made a deal with affordable package of accommodation but pleasurable stay with Sampaguita Gardens Resort. /MP
