Warm Fellowship, Willing Service

Many DGs replaced DG Ruben Roxas including Jess Tabora, Bobby Legaspi, Lut Lao and Mark Go of our club and Digna Ragasa, the first lady governor of our district. DG Mark Go would lead RC Baguio North to third best in the world of Rotary. Thats a long way and a high point since February 17, 1995. To this day the words of DG Ruben Roxas echo throughthe years. He was congratulating the charter members for standing up on an ideal, for setting out to improve the lot of others and thus sending forth once again, ripples of hope. He buoyed up their spirits with words of quiet inspiration: while perhaps there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the worlds ills, Rotarians believe they can lessen these ills. When it all began, the charter president was Fer Bautista Jr., then President of the University of Baguio, and the charter Secretary was Tene Tenefrancia, then the City Secretary. The other charter members were: Jody Alabanza (NEDA, later assistant to President Ramos), Wency Andanar ( Pines Hotel, later DILG Undersecretary), Momoy Battalones (MetroBank), Gil Bautista (Serpent Marketing, later UB President) Herr Bautista (Black & White Printing, later City Administrator), Nap Bayquen (Dental Practitioner), Johnny Blanco (BIR), Bucky Bugayong ( Strike & Spare Lanaes), Joe Calpotura (City Council), Bene Carantes (Law Practitioner, later City Prosecutor), Iking Cario (Benguet Provincial Attorney), Jaydee Dimalanta (Dimalanta Corporation), Terry Eslabra (Insular Bank of Asia and America), Bert Floresca (City Council), Nanding Hamada (Baguio Architectural Center) Danny Lagasca ( Radiowealth), Henry McGee ( Brent School), Roy Munsayac (Empire Integrated Services), Vads Navarette (UB College of Engineering), Ernie Navarro (Department of Labor), Cit Patacsil ( YMCA), Ernie Pate ( Voice of America),

ROTARY CLUB OF BAGUIO NORTH:

PP Edilberto Tenefrancia
Charter Member
February 17, 1975. The charter of the Rotary Club of Baguio North bears that date. Actually as early as September, 1974, under the tutelage of godfathers Teops Rondez and Johnny Dimalanta who were tasked by RC Baguio to extend Rotary hereabouts, about 40 young professionals and businessmen were already meeting as regularly as provisional club. They would be formally inducted as charter members on April 8, 1975 at the Pines Hotel by Governor Ruben Roxas of then District 380. Guest of Honor and Keynote Speaker was Senate President Gil Puyat, himself a distinguished Rotarian. What a difference 37 long years make. RC Baguio North was then only the second Rotary Club in Baguio. There are now 8 clubs in our cluster. Soon RC Sagada will be added. District 380 then was comprised by the island of Luzon, Mindoro, Palawan, Romblon, Marinduque and Catanduanes. The district has been divided and subdivided and our district, 3790, now encompasses only northwestern Luzon, from Bataan to Ilocos Norte.

Tony Pelea ( Solid Bank), Ago Plata ( FGU Insurance), Toti Reyes ( Strawberry Taxi), Ben Rillera (Labor Lawyer), Rudy Ruez (Insular Life), Hadji Salapong (Baguio Colleges Foundation), Totoy Salvosa (BCF, later CEO of Alger Foundation), Eddie Samson (First Peso Savings and Loans), Swanny Valdez ( City Legal Office) and Manny Yra (BB Fischer & Co.) Rotary is like a river that flows on forever. Its the same river, but the waters must change, to be fresh and ever refreshed with new life and new vigor. Old water flows to the ocean as old members move on to other pursuits, other climes. New water flows as in new members come on board infusing new blood, new vibrancy, new visions and even new directions. Along the banks of the river are vegetation, luxuriant with foliage and bent down with fruit. Prominent trees dot the riverside and mark the milestones of its history. They symbolize the Presidents and their respective boards: Fer Bautista, Jr., Bert Floresca, Ben Rillera, Rudy Runez, Gil Bautista, Mike Anton, Bucky Bugayong, Elmo Nevada, Toti Ryes, Herr Bautista, Joe Calpotura, Greg Rimas, Bobby Legaspi, Benjie Aquino, Lut Lao, Ben Yabut, Avs Pangilinan, Tedler Depaynos, Mark Go, Tene Tenefrancia, Rolly Garcia, Joe Rulla, Mario Bildan, Johnny Refe, Paul Simpauco, Mario Imson, Carl Canilao, Jess Cendaa, Jigs Agulan, Dan Torres, Philip Bautista, Louie Loy, Conrad Rivera, Oscar Cadelia, Budz Royeca and Edna Nevada. Now Gerry Rulloda. Soon Nick Buendia. And further on Raymond Ruaro. Looking back, we hear the laughter of fellowship and see the glitter of service selflessly done. Looking forward we anticipate, in the words of DG Ruben Roxas, the thrill of discovering a better you and a better me wherever we live, wherever we work and in doing discover a better world, a world in which individual Rotarians take personal responsibility for making things better and thus assure the renewal of what we did together for each other, for the club, for our families, for the community, for the world, a world in which individual Ro-

tarians take personal responsibility for making things better thus assure the renewal of what we did together for each other, for the club, for our families, for the community, for the world. Each time what was rewarding was not what we did for the world at large, but what we did for specific individuals who needed our attention, our concern, our time, our service, and our resources. And most of the time it was the individual Rotarian, not necessary as the president, who was touching lives, alleviating pain, giving hope, making difference. Rotary is like a river that flows on forever. Its the same river, but the waters must change, to be fresh and ever refreshed with new life and new vigor. Old water flows to the ocean as old members move on to other pursuits, other climes. New water flows as in new members come on board infusing new blood, new vibrancy, new visions and even new directions.

We anticipate more bountiful harvest with Rotarians like, Vic Agcaoili, Jigs Agulan, Ron Bahni, Jo Bahul, Armand Baldonado, Herr Bautista, Mario Bildan, Nick Buendia, Oscar Cadelia, Andy Calventas, Carl Canilao, Ed Catipon, Aris Datuin, Gary de Bauche, Mark Go, Mario Imson, Erkki Jappinenen, Ed Kidayan, Bobby Legaspi, Wilbert Liao, Mike Maclean, Edna Nevada, Elmo Nevada, Avs Pangilinan, Johnny Refe, Conrad Rivera, Raymund Ruaro, Gerry Rulloda, Paul Simpauco, Jess Tabora, Tene Tenefrancia, Danny Torres, Martz Trinidad, Tante Wi, Francis Yabut and Rick Young. Along the way we shared the honor of membership with Rudy Estrellado, Maurice Domogan, Bernie Vergara, Bisho Cenzon, Robert Kuan, and Flor Agcaoili. Together with them and with Rotarians everywhere, we make fellowship as an avenue of service.

EarlyRotary History Stories

Paul Harris resigns his 2nd term presidency at the Rotary Club of Chicago
Paul Harris was a great jokester but subsequently it was proved that he liked to hand it out but was not so good at taking it. He had been elected President for the Rotary year 1907 and 1908, and was re-elected for the next year. One night a close friend of Paul, an ex-Congressman, by the name of George I. Foster, got up at a meeting and charged Paul with being dictatorial. Other speakers, as had been arranged, backed him up. It got to the point where President Pauls face got red and then he got up and left the room. He too gave up the Presidency. No amount of coaxing could bring him back. This taught the members a great lesson and they realized that fun could be carried too far. Paul, of course, did not resign from the Club. He merely resigned as President.

Rotarys founding year 1904 or 1905?

Harry Ruggles disagrees with the founding date of February 23rd, 1905. He distinctly remembers printing stationery for the Club in 1904. In fact, he states that he did four jobs for the Rotary Club of Chicago in 1904. It should be remembered that in those early days no one ever figured the Club would grow or expand. No minutes were kept. Later on when the organization did start to grow, there was much argument about what happened at these early meetings, and when the meetings were held. Harry admits that his friend Charlie Newton is very sure that he (Harry Ruggles) is wrong and that 1905 was the year. Harry closes this argument by saving that after all the American Declaration of Independence was not signed on July 4th, and that it is immaterial whether Rotary started in 1904 or 1905.

Rotarys name
Harry Ruggles believes that the idea of calling the organization Rotary was not because they were going to rotate their meetings between the members offices, but because each member would be elected to the Club for a certain period - one year or two years, or three years, and then would be up for re-election. He was not so sure that the plan would not have been a good one!

First Community Service Project

Rotarys first Community Service job was started at a meeting of Chicago No. 1 held at the Great Northern Hotel, Thurs. Oct. 24th, 1907. Rotary was then operating on the calendar year. The club gathered a great group of Chicagos leading men and 15 spoke in favor of a public comfort station to be built in the City Hall and to cost $20,000.00. The endorsement was so solid and vocal and had such political and business backing, that a few days later when a delegation met the Council the resolution was passed but Chicago taxpayers put up every cent and Rotary got the credit.

Classification talk
About five months after the club was organized, Feb. 23rd, 1905, Silvester Schiele suggested to Paul that members be asked to give a talk on their own business and Paul eagerly agreed and told Silvester that he would be the first speaker. He was and in so doing he established what we now know as Vocational Service Talks, or Classification Talks.

Historic Moments: Firsts and other fun facts

By Susan Hanf Rotary International News -- 26 January 2012

Did you know that Rotary founder Paul Harris wasnt the first president of a Rotary club?
That distinction is actually held by Harris friend Silvester Schiele, who served as the first president of the Rotary Club of Chicago. Harris deferred his club leadership duties until February 1907, when he was elected the third president of the Chicago club.

On 23 February 1905, Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey gathered in Chicago for what would become known as the first Rotary club meeting. A second club was formed in San Francisco in 1908, and soon after, clubs began to pop up across North America. On 1 August 1912, the Rotary Club of London became the first club chartered outside of North America. The Rotary Club of Dublin, Ireland, had been organized earlier, but didnt receive its charter until 1 May 1913.

Club firsts

Paul Harris was elected as first president of the National Association of Rotary Clubs (which later became Rotary International) in 1910, and is the only president to have served two terms. Other firsts: Canadian E. Leslie Pidgeon (1917-18) was the first Rotary president from outside the United States, Sydney W. Pascall (1931-32) was the first from Great Britain, and Maurice Duperrey (1937-38) was the first from continental Europe

Presidential firsts

In 1929, The Rotary Foundation gave its first gift, US$500, to the International Society for Crippled Children (later Easter Seals), which was founded in 1921 by Rotarian Edgar F. Allen, of the Rotary Club of Elyria, Ohio, USA. Paul Harris Fellow recognition was established in 1957 to show appreciation for contributions, and to encourage substantial ones, to what was then the Foundations only program: Rotary Foundation Fellowships for Advanced Study, the precursor to Ambassadorial Scholarships. Today, the recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation.

Foundation firsts

Edinburgh, Scotland, hosted the first convention outside North America in June 1921. Rotarys first convention in Asia was held in Tokyo in 1961. Among the record-setting 23,366 paid and unpaid registrants was the emperor of Japan. The largest convention to date, based on the number of paid registrants, was the Rotary centennial convention, held in Chicago in 2005.
