CHRISTMAS PARTY 2006

Date:  December 29, 2006

Venue: THE LAPID GARDEN

It was a good time to be with friends and barkada. Afterall, we were still celebrating the Holiday Season. The evening was clear and breeze cool. The place was so elegant. Bernadeth and Dan Lapid made us feel so welcome.The Garden is the project of Dan's Dad. He personally supervised its construction and landscaping. We are grateful to Mr. Lapid for lending us the place.

Everybody brought something for the Potluck table and also gifts. There was pasta, tacos, barbecue, lumpia, fruits, cake, wine, etc. Joseph de Jesus even delivered a lechon. There was Normita, Ester, Vangie, Jona, Ernesto,  Lou, Cel, Ninia, France, Audie, Rico, Larry, Bernard, Bernadeth, Dan,  Renato Baluyut, Chit, Chat, Querubin,Joyce, ...

While enjoying food and company, we had games. We had tons of unstoppable laughter. You'll never  imagine how many games the guys can come up with the help of the humble balasenas and calamunding.

On the more serious part of the program, Liezl Asban, thanked our Batch for helping out in financing her studies. It just goes to show that we do not need to be rich to help. She is now in her 3rd year Engineering course.

There were also discussions on maintaining our website and using it to raise needed funds for our various projects.

Our Christmas Party brought in a total of Php3550 into our funds. The amount was turned over to Berna for safekeeping. We thank each and everyone for contributing. If you are interested to add more to our funds for our various projects, please feel free to get in touch with Bernadeth G. Lapid, at Berna Drugstore, telephone 045-900-2530.
