It was in its third year that the Club hit its full stride. As Pres., Chochit Tobias moved from the membership’s fringes into its center as a dynamite leader of leaders, so did the Club appear on the District’s landscape as an explosive pride of Rotarians – committed, competent, irreverent, bursting with goodwill, noisy, ferociously protective of each other, slightly inebriated, naughty, and totally ignorant of the meaning of the word “impossible!”

Confident of its internal strength, the Club proceeded to inflict itself upon an unsuspecting District, participating in traditional and breakthrough multi-club and District-wide activities in all the four avenues of service, all the time expanding its Dental and Medical Missions in terms of frequency and reach.

The Club’s presence was felt through the Teacher Child Parent Approach Project at the Guadalupe Viejo Elementary School, the Oblates Sisters of St. Mary’s House for Young Women-Landbank Self-Sufficiency project, The Outstanding Philippine Soldiers (TOPS) Awards. These, and several other landmark undertakings, were the beams and pillars of the Club’s most-awarded year of service.

But the members scarcely had the time to pause and consider these accomplishments. They had to buckle down to the deadly serious work of riotous revelry and carefree carousing, and of elevating their slight inebriation to levels of sustainable development. And in these as well, Pres. Chochit showed the way. Indeed, if France had Napoleon (before he lost in Russia), and Louis (before he lost his head), RCMBA had the Plus team!
