Rotary Club of Metro Baguio conveys to us the strong foundation and noble ideals that ourClub was built upon. The years that just passed proved to be most rewarding, as we saw our Club's membership, leadership and elders, working together and unselfishly sharing their time and expertise, enabling them to pursue and manage Club Affairs and Projects, in solidarity and success. While the tasks and responsibilities ahead of us are still many, we pose to CHALLENGE the entire membership of RC Metro Baguio not to put down their guards and instead put it to higher grounds. Continue what was (33) thirty three years ago. We should move forward,onwards and upwards. This is not for us Metrotarians today, but it is for the future generation to come. Mabuhay Tayong Lahat!!!
