April 25, 2011

Hello Friends,colleagues, and family,

Thanks to you all so very much for coming and supporting FCNA-MH. I know it was a success because you were all there, supporting the organization and the night.
Inspite of what others feared that no one really would show up due to wrong timing, we prevailed and I know that you agree that we all learned from Dr. Wolff and from Mila and Rose.We had a great time shopping too.
I could not have done it w/o you , Arlita, you were there continuing to carry on while I was gone for my family emergencies. Thanks a lot Arlita for negotiating w/ Hilton and Marcy for us which save us some money; thanks for the beautiful clock/plaque and gifts w/ the certificates as well for our speakers. The program was beautiful simple and organized. You sure did a good job as well being our Emcee! Can't thank you enough but suffice to say that you were a big part of our success! Thanks a lot for getting Marie to exhibit and for all the ads that you procured. Thanks for selling all the tickets you could esp. w/ your Lions friends.Thanks to Vic too for supporting you!
Chona, what can I say? I bugged you with the tickets, the ads, and other things that necessitated communications w/ Riza , Luz and Arlita. I know it was hard for you to handle all these especially since you work nights and had to tend to your Dad. I appreciate all your big efforts to help me and the organization. It is not left unnoticed! We need you!!!
The ads lay out was super!!! Maybe you can get another part time job laying out stuffs????
Riza and Toto, you did great w/ the slide presentation , preparing the ppt and actually showing it off last Saturday. I was really impressed how beautiful the slides were that Chona did and how wonderful the slides flowed.
Toto, you were a life saver that night cuz Robert said he was lost when the projector wouldn't work. You had a magic touch that made those 2 equipment talk to each other. Thanks to both of you for your great help! Could not have done it w/o you two!!!
Vangie, Arlene and Gayle, thanks a million for ordering the ballons; Vangie for picking those beautiful balloonswith Arlene. Those balloons brightened our venue . I know that was a travail hauling them in your cars making them pop to your dismay! It's ok, they were noticed and they lit up the place. Thanks too for trying hard to sell tickets and ads. I know it was difficult but you all did it! Arlene, thanks a lot for helping out w/ Registration also w/ Luz and setting up the FCNA-MH table for the shirts, caps, etc. Vangie, please tell Gwynne and Bing thanks too for being there.
Thanks Gayle for communicating w/ Fr. Ricky Salen and taking care of him and his food at the event. Thanks for all the tickets that you sold and for assisting Vangie and Arlene.
Luz, you were a gem just taking care of the seating and payments w/ all e-mails pouring in and w/ all the confusions. I really, really appreciate all your sacrifices for FCNA-MH. I know that you are so bz at work too and my constant calls for you may have annoyed you so I apologize. Thanks for manning the registration desk that night and for keeping tab of our guests, payments and afterwards accounting of our monies. I know we made it!
Nora, thanks a lot also for helping out w/ the beautiful invocation before our meal, for taking charge of the raffle and for helping out every way you could at the event. I know I can always depend on you to save the day!
