The Rotary Club of Valenzuela West was born after the February 25, 1986 revolution which ushered in the renewed hope of the Filipino people for a better life ahead. This major turning point in the history of a nation provided an inspiration, most especially to the business sector to forge a vibrant path towards progress.
Guided by such an inspiration provided for by our DGSR, PDG Santos Chua and members of our sponsor Rotary Club of Valenzuela, our club chose the symbolic figure of the Man on Anvil, signifying the dynamic business professionals guided by the Rotary objectives of worthy enterprise through high ethical standards in business and profession; the recognition of worthiness of all occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society.
The smoking volcano then projects the fresh, steadfast and lofty ideals of these enterprising members of the Rotary Club of Valenzuela West. The sight of nature never fails to soothe the tired spirit and weary body. It is for these reason that the view of the towering volcano in the distant horizon emitting smoke towards the azure sky serves the symbolism of an undying hope and immovable resolve to surpass whatever insurmountable hindrances and obstacles that there maybe along the way to the fulfillment of the club’s noble goals.
On the whole, the club’s logo provides the beckoning light towards which the members move as they, in the process, carve out their own niche and excel in their respective fields of endeavor. Guided by common hopes and ideals, we intend to use whatever success we reap to the benefit of the community we live in, and eventually make ourselves effective citizens worthy of the respect and adulation of our fellowmen.
As years passed by, RC Valenzuela West, having been headed by various Presidents, is moving steadfastly and trying very hard to fulfill what Charter President William Gatchalian has dreamed the club to be. Now on its 25th year, we hope to be of service to our less fortunate brothers in the community and do whatever is needed to protect the women and children from any kind of abuses in our own little way. This year we believe that with the involvement of our respective families, we will be better equipped to do our planned activities and we can Share Rotary together to support our less fortunate brothers in the community and its surroundings.
