RCCDO November 09 Bulletin

By ANN President Angelie Mae Dael
I
t is time for the monthly General
Membership Meeting after the Rotary
Anns decided to push it one week
forward to give us time to visit our dearly
departed for the All Souls’ Day (which
coincided on the first Thursday of November).
For the past weeks we have focused
time and energy to our joint major fund
raising event, the block screening of the
movie blockbuster, The Justice League.
This will happen at Cinema 1 of Limketkai
Mall on November 16, Thursday. As
a joint undertaking with our Rotarians,
we picked the cinema with the biggest
seating capacity of 628. Being an expected
blockbuster for 2017, it comes to
no surprise that there are other civic
and non-civic organizations who are also
organizing their block movie screening
on the same day. It has been a race to
get sponsors, and sell our tickets in advance
and we are very pleased at the
turn-out of the help that poured in.
This early, may I thank those who
helped put together this fund-raiser.
First, my utmost gratitude to those who
zealously solicited for our sponsors. We
now have a long list of major and minor
sponsors, plus our patrons. Second, I
also thank wholeheartedly those among
us who put forward their businesses as
our sponsors, and those who personally
volunteered to be sponsors too. Third, I
also convey my deepest appreciation to
those who promoted our block movie
screening to their friends and family and
those who sold tickets in advance. God
willing that all goes well with our collection,
we will be assured of funds for our
future projects from this fund raising
activity.
This has been a collective effort and we
are blessed to have the vibrant three
ladies who head the Justice League
steering committee – Treasurer Pam
Valencia as Project Chairperson, and PP
Juvy Sarraga and Director En-En Juarez
as Co-Chairpersons.
We are into the final stretch of the preparations
with a week to go for D-Day.
We may be asking help for the snacks
and raffle stations and we shall discuss
this thoroughly during our GMM.
We are positive about this endeavor and
feel God’s guidance and blessing.
Please pray with us that everything falls
into place, and that we joyfully put our
energies together to make this happen.
During our GMM, we shall reveal the
dates for our November Fellowship, the
annual Gift-Giving for Boys Town, and
the Christmas Party of RC CDO. Hopefully,
we shall also be able to hold the
2nd Gift of Sight Project this November.
