History of RCGC

The origin of the Rotary Club of Guiguinto Centerpoint can be traced back to the initiative of Immediate Past President Mary Ann G Valentino, Emmanuel G Henorga, and Alexander Dumayag Jr. It all began when IPP Mary Ann G Valentino reached out to NCA PP Virgilio J Valenzuela to inquire about the process of establishing a charter club. Their initial contact was a simple phone call, and they subsequently arranged a face-to-face meeting to discuss the requirements for creating such a club. The first meeting took place on July 20, 2023, at Shin Yu Restaurant in Tabang, City of Malolos, Bulacan. During this meeting, they deliberated on the motivations behind forming a charter club and the necessary prerequisites. Another meeting was scheduled for July 28, 2023, where they intended to meet and greet prospective members. In this subsequent meeting, the discussions covered various topics, including the history of Rotary, the RI President, and the District Governor of D3770, as well as the roles and responsibilities of being a Rotarian. Following these deliberations, there was a conversation about potential names for the club. Initially, it was called the Rotary Club of Guiguinto Supreme, but it was later changed to the Rotary Club of Guiguinto Centerpoint. With guidance from NCA Virgilio Valenzuela, the members brainstormed ideas for the club’s name. The word “Centerpoint,” suggested by Rtn Gerardina R. Banasig, ultimately led to the club being named the Rotary Club of Guiguinto Centerpoint.
