After the excitement and resounding success of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics , we are almost at an " ala post partum " situation . We missed watching the games , the line-ups , the red and white clad bystanders in the the downtown core , the spontaneous burst of cheers and singing of " O Canada " and the bonding that took place around the city . Much as we want it to continue , the Winter Olympics has come to an end on February 28th .
At this juncture , we have to gather ourselves and focus on the next activity we are facing : the next get together of Mangaldanians of Greater Vancouver and the close vicinities .The officers of MAREVA held a meeting at Uncle Willy's Buffet Restaurant on February 7th , 2010 to wrap up the plan for the MAREVA SPRING DINNER DANCE ( in lieu of our MANGALDAN TOWN FIESTA ) which will be held on APRIL 24th .
