RCDE Spouses Conduct Special Fellowship and Planning Meeting
June 11, 2026 | Cafรฉ Bob's, Dumaguete City
The spouses of the Rotary Club of Dumaguete East (RCDE) gathered for a special meeting and fellowship on June 11, 2026, at Cafรฉ Bob's in Dumaguete City. The gathering aimed to strengthen camaraderie, build teamwork, and explore possible strategies and activities for future involvement and service.
The evening commenced at 5:30 PM with a shared meal and meaningful conversations. The spouses then participated in three engaging activities. Through these exercises, they discovered that their familiarity with each other is one of their greatest strengths. The activities also highlighted the many values and experiences they share, fostering a deeper sense of connection and unity within the group.
When asked to give a one-word answer to the question, "Why are you in Rotary?", the participants responded without hesitation. Their answers, though varied, could be summed up in three powerful words: sisterhood, service, and community.
And this was evident when they effortlessly and wholeheartedly sang "Through the Years," a fitting reflection of friendship, support, and shared journeys.
Also in attendance were the RCDE President-Elect Jeffrey Lloyd Titong and the RCDE Secretary Joseph Lloyd Arbon, who delighted the group with a surprise performance.
The evening was filled with fun, laughter, and excitement, especially with the four rounds of mini-raffle draws that added to the festive atmosphere. As the gathering concluded, the spouses went home with full bags, filled stomachs, and, most importantly, fulfilled hearts.
