RI President Ron D. Burton

President, Rotary International, RY 2013 - 2014

Dear Fellow Rotarians,

This is an incredibly exciting time to be a Rotarian. This Rotary year can be one of the
greatest years we have yet experienced in Rotary but it is up to each one of us. We are now writing
the last chapter in our fight against polio. While it has been a long, hard journey, we have learned
many valuable lessons. We have learned that as a group we can move mountains, we can change
people's lives for the better, and we can honestly make a difference in our world. Perhaps the greatest
lesson has been that the more we challenge ourselves, the more we can achieve.
We are also embarking on a new chapter in the storied history of our Rotary Foundation. We
have the rare privilege of launching an entirely new grant structure we've come to know as Future
Vision. It gives us the opportunity to challenge ourselves to do the absolute most we can, with all of our
resources. Just think how much more we can do with a stronger Foundation, with stronger clubs filled
with more Rotarians who are fully engaged in Rotary service.
It's time for us to recognize that the real challenge we face isn't just bringing new members
into Rotary. It's turning all members into true Rotarians. It's helping members get engaged in Rotary
helping them realize the potential they have, and how their Rotary service can change lives. We need
to make sure that every member is active and contributing, and making a real difference because

Greetings from:

Assistant Governor RY 2013 2014
Assistant Governor Representative RY 2012 2013
Club President RY 2011- 2012

when you're doing meaningful work in Rotary, Rotary is meaningful to you.

When we realize what we can achieve in Rotary when we really engage Rotary that's
when lives change. We change the lives of the people who need us. That is inevitable. And along the
way, our lives are changed as well. That is also inevitable. That's what our theme is all about in 201314: Engage Rotary, Change Lives.
It's time to open our eyes to the potential each of us has through Rotary. Rotary lets us reach
higher, do more, and be a part of something larger than ourselves. No matter how much we give to
Rotary, we get more in return. And that, too, is inevitable.

Spouse : Ellen Sariba

Children: Arch. RenSariba

In 2013-14, let's turn all of our potential into reality. It's up to us. We can do it by engaging in
Rotary service, by getting involved, by staying inspired, and by remembering every day the gift we
have in Rotary. Together, we will Engage Rotary, Change Lives.

Ron D. Burton
RI President
2013-14

on D. Burton, a member of the Rotary Club of Norman, Oklahoma, USA, is the selection of the
Nominating Committee for President of Rotary International in 2013-14. Burton will become the
president-nominee on 1 October if there are no challenging candidates.

Burton retired as president of the University of Oklahoma Foundation Inc. in 2007. He is a member of the
American Bar Association, as well as the bar associations of Cleveland County and the state of Oklahoma. He is
admitted to practice in Oklahoma and before the U.S. Supreme Court.
"This is an exciting time to be a Rotarian," Burton says. "I believe we are well poised to capitalize on our
strengths as we embrace the [RI] Strategic Plan and the Future Vision Plan. My vision is to have every Rotarian
appreciate what it means to be a Rotarian. With these two tools, we can make that happen."
Active in his community, Burton is a founder and past president of the Norman Public School Foundation, and
founder and past board member of the Norman Community Foundation. A recipient of the Silver Beaver Award,
he is a past vice president of the Last Frontier Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
Burton believes that Rotary's promotion of high ethical standards is one of the qualities that sets it apart from
other organizations.
"It assures those dealing with us that we can be trusted," he says. "Most of us are in a business or profession that
already has a code of ethics. Vocational service in Rotary just adds to that responsibility. We have an obligation
to go above and beyond to make sure that all our actions are above reproach."
A Rotarian since 1979, Burton is vice chair of the Future Vision Committee and a member of the Polio
Eradication Advocacy Task Force for the United States. He has served RI as director; Rotary Foundation trustee
and trustee vice chair; International Assembly moderator, assistant moderator, and group discussion leader; and
district governor.
His other service to Rotary includes chair of the 2011 New Orleans Convention Committee, vice chair of the
Investment Advisory Committee, liaison trustee of the Vocational Service Committee, Permanent Fund
national adviser, and regional Rotary Foundation coordinator. He was aide to 2006-07 RI President William B.
Boyd.
Burton has received the RI Service Above Self Award and The
Rotary Foundation Citation for Meritorious Service,
Distinguished Service Award, and International Service Award
for a Polio-Free World.
Burton and his wife, Jetta, have two children and three
grandchildren.

To President Jolan Salino and his Team

Congratulations
and Best Wishes

I would like to congratulate the Rotary Club of Biak na Bato on the

occasion of its Induction and Turnover Ceremonies. You have gone a
long way in your mission of meaningful and relevant service to the
community that you serve.
I would like to congratulate First Class President Jhoolz Salino for his
assumption of the Presidency of this great club. His leadership qualities
make him very appropriate for the job of First Class President.
Your Club has shown great potentials for future district leadership. You
have great Rotarians who can be called to assume sensitive positions in
the district hierarchy.
Go out and share your brand of leadership and service to others. Engage
others in Rotary as you already have, for it is in engaging Rotary that we
change lives.
Let me also congratulate Peace President Mark Reyes. His stewardship
of your club was excellent and surely, IPDG Penny Policarpio and the
members
of the club are very proud of him.
I also would like to congratulate PDG Dan Espinosa, our District Trainer
for his strong presence which is keeping this club solid and united.
But my congratulations go most to the members who kept your club
vibrant, strong and big. You made the big difference.
So tonight, let us all together celebrate your success and make MERRY.
