A Late but Grateful Rotary Year-End Reflection
As we near the close of Rotary Year 2025–2026, we would like to take a moment to reflect with gratitude on an incredible year of service, fellowship, and growth.
Guided by Rotary’s enduring motto, “Service Above Self,” our club has been blessed with countless opportunities to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. From community outreach projects and humanitarian initiatives to fellowship activities and leadership development, every accomplishment has been made possible through the dedication, generosity, and commitment of our members.
This year has been particularly memorable as our club was honored with several prestigious recognitions during the District Convention held at Nustar Resort and Casino:
🏆 Club Excellence Award
🏆 Leadership Excellence Award awarded to our Club President, Michael V. Panzo
🏆 100% Rotary Foundation Sustaining Members
🏆 100% TRF Giving Club
🏆 100% Paul Harris Fellow Club (Sustained)
🏆 100% Every Rotarian Every Year (EREY)
These awards are more than just recognitions—they are a testament to the collective passion, generosity, and dedication of every member who has embraced the Rotary spirit and worked tirelessly to serve our communities.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our District Governor Jong Fernandez, for his inspiring leadership and unwavering support throughout the year. We are equally thankful to Assistant Governor Tom Tenefrancia Opeña and Assistant Governor Ran Lim, whose guidance, encouragement, and belief in our club have motivated us to strive for excellence in everything we do.
To our fellow Rotarians, mentors, partners, and supporters, thank you for continuously encouraging us, sharing your wisdom, and reminding us that even the smallest act of service can create a lasting impact.
While these achievements bring us great pride, we recognize that our true success lies not in the awards we receive, but in the lives we touch, the friendships we build, and the hope we bring to our communities.
As one Rotary year comes to a close and another begins, we remain committed to serving with compassion, integrity, and purpose. Together, we will continue to create positive change and live out the Rotary ideal of Service Above Self.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has been part of this remarkable journey. Here’s to an even greater year ahead.
With gratitude,
Rotary Club of Siquijor Central
