MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
That was a huge crowd at the FAVS picnic on Saturday. Thank
you very much to all of you who made this picnic a FUN occasion.
I want to especially thanks Dave Pagaduan, Chairman,
Scholarship Committee, who also coordinated the games &
reserved the picnic area. Art Gandionco, Vice Pres., coordinated
the “tuhog” party: (Pio Timones, Rene Laguador, Joe Flores, Dave
Pagaduan, Rudy A., Al Delorito and all the wives, “I hope I did not
missed anybody”) in NS Mayport & helped me purchased the
picnic stuff, and for bringing the American and Navy flags & flag
poles and his brand new, never been used “Top of the line BBQ
gas grill” it definitely made grilling easier . Albert Montemayor, Mr.
Entertainer, who brought the entertainment system and
entertained us all day long along with his singing partner “ Lady
Gaga, of Georgia”. Thanks to “Manong” Nick, for bringing his Dart
Board and helped coordinate games. To my dear wife, who never
runs out of ideas when it comes to fun games, etc. She also set
up picnic tables & helped me prepare for this event. Thanks to all
of you and your families, for bringing your dishes, drinks, etc. for
everybody to share. Good times had by all!
Overall, it was a very successful and joyful occasion. Welcome to
the three new members who signed up. Those of you who were
not able to make it, there will always be next year. Congratulations
to the well-deserved Scholarship Award recipients this year: 1st
Lipat and 2nd Flippin. They each received a beautiful Plaque,
Letter from the president of FAVS, and a check; $500.00 &
$367.00 respectively. Once again, thanks to Dave Pagaduan for
putting the awards together and coordinating the Award
Presentation, awesome job!
Up next, you are all cordially invited to come to the VETERANS
BALL, scheduled for Saturday, November 13, 2010 at HYATT
Regency, downtown, Jacksonville. Tickets are now on sale at $40
each. I am hoping for another good turnout. If interested, please
email me and I will mail you the tickets. However, in order to
reserve your seats, we accept a post-dated check or money order
for payment. I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the
Veterans Ball..
God Bless,
