A portion of the program was dedicated in remembering all the members by their respective units starting from Unit One to Unit Fifteen. There was a big laughter here when Bro. Jhun being the host, told the group that it was 1975 that the first unit was formed,yet inspite of the fact that it was already 35 years that had passed he was still feeling young, yet he had a hard time remembering the last number of unit he had called. It was Unit Fourteen who had the most number present.Music was provided by a mobile disco rented by the group. All expenditures with regards to rental of the venue and the mobile disco was easily taken cared of by means of the usual pass the hat system.Before the party ends, the Vice-Chairman gave his closing remarks by giving thanks to all present and hope to meet again on the next activities to come and reminded all about the planned activities for summer.All thoughout the night, it was fun, dancing and enjoyment.All in all it was a very successful get-together valentines party.

JANET'S CHRISTMAS PARTY

My family attended a post christmas party last night December 28,2009 at Cavite city hosted by Janet Barzaga whic was held in her beautifully decorated house. Decors were set up by her designer Demy, who has been doing all the settings yearly. I say that it is a very beautiful set up & the house was elegantly prepared. Janet always rely on him when it comes to decors & not only in her house but also in their mosuleum during all saints day. Also yearly, Janet would call on Demy to decorate the convent where Fr. Vir Mendoza is assigned.The party was made lively with the conset like presentation of the Immaculate Conception Shrine Choir, thanks to Fr. Vir, which presented not only traditional christmas carols but old love songs & kundimans too. What makes this group well known is not only their beautiful voices, but also the presence of their able & expert (should I say) organist. Yes, everybody who can see & listen to this group perform would be amazed by their beatiful performance & also by the way their organist plays her music.One would wonder how this 88 year old woman could still perfectly play the organ without even having to use eyeglasses.Anyway, the party went smoothly & happily until late at night & we have to bid adieu because it is as I said late, but everybody, I'm sure was very much happy & full from the sumptous dinner prepared. Well, Janet (KOSA) thanks & Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. See you next year.
