Teleconference Meeting on April 9, 2008

Hi, folks:

On April 9, 2008, the AMOR had a first! Well, we had a meeting by tele-conference. So there were seven participants, 3 in San Diego (Manang Vida, Manang Dhel, Mam Vergara, 1 in Cerritos (Manogn Dan), 1 in Walnut (Minda Papilla), 1 in Santa Clarita (Mel Oxciano), and me (Caesar Natividad) in Diamond Bar. Thanks

The things discussed, agreed to and decided upon were:

1. Gold Coast Hotel was reserved for October 18, 2008.
2. The theme/name of the event is AMOR Ugnayan at Pagtutulungan 2008 - to recognize that our main objective is to organize to help and make a difference towards our hometown.
3. The ticket price will be at $65.00 each.
4. The souvenir program prices will be as before, ranging from $300.00 for the back page, to $35.00 for 1/4 of a page.
5. Instead of another meeting at Caesar's place on May 10, 2008, there will be a casino trip/meeting instead. This will be scheduled one Saturday in May 2008, at a casino in San Diego. Manaang Dhel to confirm the date.
6. Atty. Mel Oxciano and Atty. Natividad will start the groundwork for the tax-advantaged status of the Mangatarem Schools Alumni Association.

For the next meeting, I expect the following to be discussed:

1. The procedures to be followed as we invite as many of our kabaleyans to the event.
2. A discussion on the program on the night of the event itself. We will need input from everybody so we can put on a good show.
3. Anyone would like to volunteer to coordinate the printing of commemorative T-shorts to be sold at the event or even earlier.

Note: Anyone who would like to participate in the next tele-conference meeting, please e-mail me your name, e-mail address, and time zone. My e-mail address is natividadlaw@aol.com.

Bye for now. Thanks.
