For Those We Love in CarCanMadCarLan |
|||
|
Holiday Greetings to all fellow CarCanMadCarLanons in the USA and around the world! On behalf of all the
officers and board members, I would like to wish you all a blessed and
safe holiday season. Amidst the worldwide economic turmoil that has beset
every one of us today, celebrating Christmas reminds us that Jesus came to
lift us up and brings us hope that this very challenging crisis will soon
come to pass.
The
birth of our Savior serves as a reminder that despite these challenges,
each one of us is called to bring glad tidings, share our blessings and
live a life worthy of His birth, even more so in these trying times.
Over the years of our
association’s existence, everyone has been very generous and supportive of
our association’s goals and objectives.
The diligence and genuine
volunteerism that we see in every member in support of our efforts to
implement our projects are the very inspiration that keep us going.
CarCanMadCarLanons are indeed a community that does not forget where they
come from and no doubt one that can be counted upon when it comes to
helping their own improve their lot. Despite the smallness of
our group, we have been able to sustain projects that directly benefit our
recipients in the CarCanMadCarLan area. Our college scholarship program
that was started in 2004 has already graduated one student from each town
in March 2008, thanks largely to our scholarship donors.
The new set of scholars has
just enrolled starting school year 2008-2009.
Some elementary and high
schools have also benefited from the resource materials that we have
collected and sent to them.
We will continue to gather
hand me downs including reference books and computers that can be
distributed to those in need of them.
We also
strive to support local writing and reading contests to encourage students
to excel and improve their chances for a higher education. We just held our annual
Christmas celebration on Saturday, December 13, 2008 and we had a big turn
out.
Everyone had fun, especially
the kids who were only too eager to receive their advance Christmas
presents.
Elections were also held for
a new set of officers for 2009-2010. Current serving officers were
re-elected, partly because no one else wanted to challenge them.
I sincerely hope that future
elections will bring about more new faces, especially from the younger
generation.
It is
also my hope that our association can continue to take a stand to face the
challenges ahead, and that every member and benefactor will be assured
that whatever support they have voluntarily and generously shared,
benefiting every intended recipient, is and will always be greatly
appreciated. Marajaw na Pasko sanan
Malipajon na Bag-ong Tuig dijo tanan! God Bless,
Didi Arreza-Bush President |
