Adlawan for her Official Governor’s Visit. Joining the official delegation were Area 3G Assistant Governor Rizal Crispino and District Executive Secretary (DES) Mylene F. Baura.
The visit commenced at the Eva Macapagal Port, where the club warmly welcomed DG Arlene upon her arrival from Siargao on August 28, following her official visit with RC Central Siargao. This momentous occasion marks a vital stop in her intensive 4-day official visit across all Rotary clubs in Area 3G.

🎵 Project Turnover: Empowering Youth through Music
Moving from administration to field action, the club proceeded to St. Paul University Surigao.
