ANNUAL PICNIC

August 30, 2008

Maluwalhating nairaos ang Annual Picnic at Membership Meeting ng Calauag Association of Canada noong Agosto 30 sa Adams Park, Scarborough, Ontario. Halos walang mapaglagyan ang mga pagkain na dala ng bawat pamilya upang pagsaluhan ng lahat. Pawang mga lutong bahay na sa unang hagod ng iyong paningin ay nakakabusog na. Sobra-sobrang saya, may palaro, raffles at mga papremyo. Mga kwentuhan, tsikahan at pagbabalik tanaw at pagkilala sa mga panauhin.  Isang nakatawag pansin ang pagdalo ni Ms. Corazon "Baby Gumban" na nagbyahe pa mula sa New York at may kasamang dalawang kaibigan na taga Atimonan. Si Mila Alpuerto Alviar at ang kanyang anak na si Godessa ay nasisiyahan ding nakasalimuha ang mga kababayan.  Bagaman at kasalukuyang naninirahan sa London, Ontario, ito ang unang pagkakataon niyang nakadalo sa okasyon.

Si Gigi Ambas, bilang kasalukuyang pangulo ng Association, ay nagbigay pugay sa lahat na dumalo at ipinahayag ang mga activities ng grupo sa buong taong nagdaan na pawang matagumpay dahil sa kooperasyon ng lahat lalo na ang ginawang fundraising campaign para makatulong sa Medical Mission na gagawin sa Calauag sa darating na taon. Nag-ulat din ang kasalukuyang association treasurer, Thelma Jucaban,  sa kalagayan ng pondo na may sapat na salapi ang samahan dahilan sa aktibong pakikiisa ng lahat na miembro. Bumigkas ng pangungusap si Ms. Jocelyn Fronda upang ipabatid ang darating na gaganaping pagtitipon ng Quezon Province Association of Canada (QPAC) na kung saan ay siya ang representative ng Calauag sa nasabing grupo.

Nag-aagaw na ang dilim at liwanag nang matapos ang pagtitipon.
