(a)Musings in the Life of a Rotarian |
|
It was an
enjoyable evening of merriment
for indefatigable Rotary Int’l.
District 3830 past Gov. Rafael
“Butch” Francisco as the recent
launch of his book entitled “(a)
Musings in the Life of a
Rotarian” was a great success.
The talented Rotarian’s venture
into writing drew droves of
supporters and friends alike to
the exquisite flagship store of
Fully Booked in Bonifacio High
Street at |
|
the Fort,
including Rotary International
President-elect Dong Kurn Lee of
South Korea who served as the
guest of honor for the night.
The guests of the enchanting
evening were thoroughly
impressed, from the witty and
intelligent commentary from the
author and contributors, to the
comfortable and vast area of
Fully Booked, courtesy of Rhea
Llamas and Liza Lopez.
Congratulations for the
successful launch!
