MKAHOY-CANADA REUNION 2009
This is gaining momentum.
1) Initially, I suggested to hold our first reunion with a weekend stay at Niagara Falls. We'll arrive early in the morning of a Saturday, attend Mass in Carmel Church in Niagara Falls, picnic, lots of other activities then leave on Sunday.
2) Early this evening, I received an email from Theda Mendoza Lean who graciously offered a venue for our first reunion. Theda said that Nely and Gord have offered to host our reunion at their sprawling property( with swimming pool, tennis courts and huge backyard) in Aurora. Nely is presently doing kitchen renovation but their place will be available after June.
Theda also offered Lechon for our reunion and volunteered to chair the "Fun Committee".
3) Our first reunion will depend on the number of attendees. I've set a deadline to invite and confirm as many attendees on May 31, 2009. If we don't have a majority attendance on May 31, we will not hold a reunion.
3) We will need a planning meeting before we hold the reunion. I'll invite all interested parties to a meeting at the appropriate date/time.
4) Please try to reach out to other MKAHOY kababayan, by email, by phone, by word of mouth, etc.. There are a lot of things that needs to be done, we better prepare early.
Your comments, please.
Regards to All,
Sam
