Dear Kuya Boy and everyone,
Yes...let us go...we are all fired up for this very special event. It will be an excellent value for our holiday money not only because of Vancouver's proximity to Las Vegas but most of all because this occasion will give us the best chance to see and bond with our friends, kakanayon and kabaleyans in one location.
As to the "to do list" below, I volunteer our group(MAREVA) to prepare the official invitation to the government officials back home to help them in their visa application.
We need to work on the official name as you listed so we could prepare "official letterhead" to use.
This ia all for the time being...kamusta kilan amin agi ko.

Hello Atsi Marie and All,
Wow!! Nice video.. seems like we are in full swing..i will like to bring the attention of the working committee the ff:
1, What would be an ideal name of our group:..here are some suggestions: "Aray Anak na Mangaldan", "United Abante Mangaldan Assoc.","The Mangaldanians Overseas","The Mangaldanians",etc, etc..
2. Souvenir Journal Solicitation Form is in the drawing board...Suggestions: that we create one centralized or master bank account for this re-union,.that monies solicited by various Mangaldan group be deposited to their own depository bank and it be remiited in lump sum to the master account. ( just 1 check..cud be Mareva's ck.,Maonca's ck. etc.)..Monitoring returned checks is easier this way..
3. I spoke with Mayor Romero this morning and the feedback in Mangaldan was very very positive. The mayor suggested that we send a formal invitation not only to the government officials but also to friends and relatives alike. This formal invitation will be used as a tool to apply for a U.S. visa . need volunteer re: formal invitation ...sicayo la...who????
4. Schedule of activities: The re-union could start Monday,Tuesday.Wednesday,Thursday for early birds ..We can have some activities for the early birds...one suggestion is to have an excursion to Arizona "Grand Canyon",anymore suggestions or ideas???? I am planning for a golf outing for the guys..
Pls. come out in the open and let us hear your ideas..Just to let everyone know that this re-union is for all Mangaldanians and the outcome will depend solely on the organizing committee.. Help is really needed...
Regards..

Hello Atsi Marie, Thx so much for posting our baby "Mangaldan Grand Re-union". I think, We have now a core group that will represent various groups of Mangaldanians. Hopefully other groups will come out and join us..We still need representation from places like Guam, UK, etc, etc...In Hawaii, I have contacted Merle Fuertes & Baby Jimenez. Pec Visperas is covering Australia & New Zealand. With your expertise and the core group experience and support, We will have a grand re-union of a lifetime. I spoke with Ditas Zarsaba last sunday. Her group are very excited. She will start scouting for a live band, etc, etc..
Our group is in the process of finalizing the venue. It will be at the "Gold Coast". Kindly refer to Josie Aquino Tumaneng comments why Gold Coast was chosen. The proposed main dates are from friday to sunday. Maybe the wor king committee have another ideas.
Manyjer have volunteere d to work on the Souvenir Journal. Solicitation forms will be forwarded to various groups asap. more to follow..Our agenda is wide open. We are open to all suggestions. Pls. let us know what your group can do. Salamat lamet......."ABANTE MANGALDAN" Boy Moulic
