| Pasko na. |
Hi all...even more important than any event that i've posted in the past, it is Christmas. And there are lots of things to do this season to make it mean more - not only to yourself but for those who look forward to at least one day in the year to be happy.
I was walking around Rustan's yesterday with my mom and noticed a christmas tree with some written cards. Upon closer inspection they were letters from less-fortunate children who only wish for a few things this Christmas. Almost all said "damit, sapatos at laruan" (clothes, shoes and toys)...this may be very simple but i think the thought of those children's smiles as they open up presents will be more than worth it. If you have items you can spare...you can drop by Rustan's (U level) to pick a child to give to. I also realize that everyone is rushing this Christmas season but would still want to contribute, you can send the stuff through me. I'm planning to go with my friend, Sadrina next week to give some gifts so we can also deliver yours for you. Just email me at mibescueta@yahoo.com. I'm going to go back this week to note some of the cards so you can address the gift cards yourself. Will post more specifics soon.
and here's another thing you can do (from Itos):
Everybody knows what took place in Quezon a couple weeks back, and those who arent living under a rock saw how much devastation and misery the two consecutive typhoons wrought on our unfortunate countrymen. Even as donations continue to pour in from various sectors of society, some of us thought that maybe we, too, could stand up and be counted among those that cared when some of our countrymen needed it the most. To that end, we thought of combining an all-out Christmas party with a fundraiser/relief drive!
That's happening this Saturday,December 18, at Yaku bar and resto in Sommerset suites in Aguirre st.9 pm.Mojofly is playing and they're pretty good! Come and enjoy the free booze(vodka, scotch, tequila, beer) all night and the great entertainment and music! All that we will require from you is to bring goods or cash for the relief effort. This will serve as your entrance fee. I know you will agree this is a small price to pay for something priceless.
Owing to your vast network of friends and associates, We're sure we can get enough people to come and give to this effort. In cash or kind--old clothes,blankets, towels, medicines, dried goods, milk, instant noodles, etc.
We're arranging for a truck to be parked outside the venue so the goods can be conveniently dropped off and the guests can party without worry. The truck will then deliver the goods to a residence which will then be immediately transferred to the various affected areas for distribution.
We expect that they will receive the goods just in time for Christmas. It can also help make your holiday season more meaningful. There will be a registration table outside Yaku for those who would rather pledge cash than give goodies. Any amount is welcome of course, as the peso goes a slightly longer way in far-flung provinces like Quezon and Nueva Ecija. So Remember:
What: Christmas Party Relief Drive (Free Booze and Music all night!)
When: December 18, 2004, 9pm
Where: Yaku Bar and Resto, Sommerset Milennium Residences, Aguirre St. Legaspi Village, Makati Entrance Fee: Relief Goods or Cash Pledges in any amount |
