THE 1ST ROTARY SPORT POKER CHALLENGE,
HOSTED BY THE ROTARY CLUB OF SAN JUAN DEL MONTE IS A
STRICTLY-NO
GAMBLING/MONEY-POKER-TOURNAMENT
FUND RAISING EVENT FOR A CAUSE.
"SPORT POKER" - IS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER
TEXAS HOLD`EM POKER GAME BUT WITHOUT THE MONEY.
SPORT POKER CAN EVEN BE COMPARED TO THE GAME OF
CHESS WHEREIN COMPETITORS WOULD PARTICIPATE IN
A SHOWDOWN OF SKILLS RATHER THAN THE POKER MOST
PEOPLE ATTRIBUTE TO GAMBLING - WHICH IS PLAYED FOR
MONEY.
IN
SPORT POKER, BASICALLY, THE MOST PLAYER WITH THE
MOST NUMBER OF CHIPS AT THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT
WILL BE DECLARED BEST POKER PLAYER FOR THE EVENT.
POKER IN ITSELF IS A VERY EXCITING AND EVEN
ADDICTIVE GAME. BUT TO DISCOVER WHAT THIS PARTICULAR
EVENT IS FOR WILL SURELY MAKE IT EVEN MORE INVITING.
ON
THE 17TH OF JUNE 2006, ALL THOSE WHO WILL
PARTICIPATE WILL "SHARE A DREAM." ASIDE FROM
THE CHANCE TO PLAY GREAT POKER, ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO
EMBARK ON A JOURNEY TO BRING CHANGE TO THE ACTUAL
LIVES OF OUR BENEFICIARIES.
MENINGOCELE MISSION
SINCE 1998, THE ROTARY CLUB OF SAN JUAN DEL MONTE
HAS SPONSORED OVER 145 PATIENTS TO UNDERGO SURGERY.
WHAT IS MENINGOCELE ANYWAY?
MENINGOCELE IS A CONGENITAL DEFORMITY BROUGHT ABOUT
BY SEVERE MALNUTRITION OF EXPECTANT MOTHERS FROM THE
SLUM AREAS. DUE TO EXTREME POVERTY, THESE WOMEN WERE
DEPREIVED OF PROPER NUTRITION - MUCH LESS VITAMIN
SUPPLEMENTS - THEY THEN GIVE BIRTH TO BABIES WHO
HAVE VERY SLIM CHANCES OF LIVING NORMAL LIVES.

LIFE ON THE EDGE PROJECT
ANYBODY CAN BE A VICTIM - EVEN OUR LOVED ONES AND
FRIENDS.
AND, WHEN WE SAY FALL VICTIM TO DRUGS, IT CAN EITHER
BE VICTIM OF DRUG ABUSE OR WORSE, FALL PRAY TO THE
VIOLENCE OF PEOPLE UNDER THE INFLUENCE.
IN OUR SOCIETY, DRUGS CAN BE SEEN AT THE PINNACLE OF
PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS THAT EVERY ACT OF CORRUPTION AND
VIOLENCE, IN MOST CASES THAN NOT, SEEM TO BOIL DOWN
TO SOCIETY'S DRUG PROBLEMS.
TOGETHER WITH THE PHILIPPINE DRUG ENFORCEMENT
AGENCY, THE ROTARY CLUB OF SAN JUAN DEL MONTE HAS
FORMED A FRONT AGAINST ILLEGAL DRUGS. THE CLUB HAS
COME UP WITH AN APPROACH UNLIKE ANY OTHER. ITS
CAMPAIGN'S EFFECTIVENESS RELIES ON ITS SO-CALLED
POSITIVE-BRAINWASHING.
THE
CAMPAIGN REACHES OUT TO THE YOUTH - TO CREATE A
WHOLE NEW SOCIETY. INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY CHANGING
DRUG ADDICTS, THE CAMPAIGN AIMS TO START SOCIETY A
NEW - WITH A FRESH GENERATION WHO VIEWS DRUGS TO BE
COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. STARTING THEM YOUNG WOULD
MEAN ENERGIZED AND VIBRANT ALLIES FOR OUR CAUSE.
THE
CAMPAIGN IS A SERIES OF CONTESTS FOR GRADE SCHOOL
STUDENTS, INFORMATION DRIVES, DISTRIBUTION OF
INFORMATION MATERIALS THROUGH SCHOOL SUPPLIES,
CREATING A MULTIMEDIA VIDEO/PROGRAM TO BE
DISTRIBUTED TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS NATIONWIDE, AND A
NATIONAL TELEVISION ANTI-DRUG ADVERTISEMENT.
NOW IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO
CALL
OUR APPEAL.
FOR
THE ROTARY CLUB OF SAN JUAN DEL MONTE WILL NEVER
FOLD.
WE ARE
ALL IN.
