The following message was sent to Rotary Lubang Island, Philippines for its recent changeover:
President Elect, Officers and Members,
Rotary Lubang Island Changeover
It is with great pleasure that we offer our congratulations on another successful year of Rotary Lubang Island Service Above Self and look forward to seeing your ongoing community support in the 2025/2026 year of Unite for Good under incoming President Julie Ann Benamera.
Our two Rotary Clubs have partnered on multiple occa sions at Lubang Island and more broadly in Occidental Mindoro. The WASH, Medical Transport, Economic Development and School support projects have been highly beneficial to your recipients. Your needs analysis, project planning, committed volunteering, liaison with government authorities, work implementation and financial control have been exemplary. This has created an ongoing willingness for Rotary Melbourne to continue to support you in your undertakings.
We understand that the Ilin-Burgos WASH Remediation Project is currently being jointly planned for this Rotary Year.
On both an individual level and an organisational level, our Members find our relationships with Lubang Island not only very effective, but also personally rewarding. We value the ongoing friendships even when we do not meet regularly in person.
Kind regards,
Trevor Nink
