Pres.Carlo was put on the spot when theywere called one by one to raise funds.He said that Rotary Club of Makati wasintroduced as the biggest and wealthiestclub in Manila and in the Philippines.He will ask the Board if Rotary Club ofMakati can donate even a small amountto Rotary Club of Bukit Bintang. One ofthese projects is the Home for the Agedwhere many abandoned elderly peoplelived on top of a morgue donated by theowner. While a bit morbid because theirview of the cemetery, nevertheless, it wastouching to see the generosity of RCBB ingiving shoes. Pres.
