The Rotary Club provides a platform for new members of the organization to share with fellow members important parts of their personal and professional life — maybe not all the story in its entirety, but just enough to allow fellow members to get to know them better.
Through the so-called Classification Talks, Rotary Club members and guests are educated about the professions of their fellow members. This is the part of a Rotary Club membership meeting that allows members a chance to introduce themselves and their work to their fellow Rotarians.
Featured Classification Talk speaker during the Rotary Club of Manila membership meeting last 10 August 2023 at the Manila Polo Club was Dr. David Klebs, Economic Counsellor of the Embassy of Germany.
Also during the same meeting, the Rotary Club of Manila formally inducted three new members, namely, Raoul Roberto P. Goco, executive chef of the Degustacion Corporation; Franco Martell Sacratmento Flameño, chief growth officer, Wordtext Systems Inc. (Classification: Information Technology-PC Distribution); and J. Alfonso L. Katigbak, Director, Decra Roofing Systems (Classification: Building Materials/Products-Metal Roofing).
Goco's membership was proposed by District Governor-Elect Jackie Rodriguez; that of Flameño was proposed by Rotarian Rex Alingog; and Katigbak's membership was proposed by Past District Governor Rudy Bediones.
