Hi there to all! How's the week treating you? Hope all is good and well with everyone. This message is most particular to two very good friends of mine in Zamboanga. I hope you both are coping well. Praying that you and your families are showered with good health, wellness, happiness and love.
Please do not forget to wear a mask befitting your exquisite cocktail wear. Let it be one that can really entice the keenest of pleasure in elegance, grace and flawlessness....
Let us enliven our reminiscing through the sheer poetry of our friendship, camaraderie, poise and decorum. And most importantly, let us give life to our reunion by enjoying to the fullest our three days with our friends in Las Vegas. Let there be no afflict marring the ambience of our affair. Ok sure, I sound like someone imposing so much but you must admit, we are all attending this Grand Reunion for the sole purpose of being reunited with our friends from bygone days. Then that statement re:"afflict" is just to reaffirm our intention. Yikes!!!Did I just make us sound like "too old?"(by using bygone days-hehe) LOL sorry for that.
Moving on...
On our first night in LAS VEGAS, we are requesting you to come and register with us at the RIO ALL SUITES HOTEL & CASINO. As we come close to the affair, we will be able to give you specifics regarding the area where we will be. I am also requesting that everyone, esp alumnae of Ateneo and Pilar, to wear BLUE (any shades except for dark blue or mdnight blue). This is in deference to the common color of our school uniforms and the values it represented then and now. And it is also for the purpose of having uniformity for our picture taking of you, solo.
Antonette Orendain-Poole is our attendance authority. She will be joining me, Alf and Barb in the Bienvenue team. Glad to have our "beadle of the year" grace us with her forte once again.
Our 2nd Night, I don't want to impose more from anyone but it would be nice to have a rugged to casual dinner/karaoke with everyone. I am suggesting the CATHAY HOUSE along 5300 Mountain RD., Las Vegas, NV 89146. Like I mentioned before menu options start at $18++.Cathay House Dim Sum Restaurant This hyperlink will take you to the different options that they have. Please find time to review them and tell us what you think. Personally I can really say that their food there is pretty good and that it is one of my "thumbs up" restaurant in Las Vegas.
Room Capacities:Main Dining Room - 120Second Dining Room - 100Small Banquet Room - 40-50Large Banquet Room - Up to 150Banquet Facilities: karaoke system, microphone, big screen TV, CD players, professional sound systemsDance Floor: Rental and delivery availableAll facilities supplied at no extra charge.
If we do this, we are not looking into so much additional cost. It is just about $23 more
and we get to enjoy two nights of good food with good friends.
Please be advised that as we get closer to our Grand reunion, we are expecting to get more ideas from
more people and we will be polishing our activities more and more. But don't be disheartened, despite
all the tweaking and stuff, our first consideration is not to increase the cost further. Actually, this $23
for CATHAY HOUSE is the last I'll ask from everyone to consider as being an official activity of our
reunion. I mean, we will be going to Las Vegas for our reunion and what better way to celebrate it than
being with those whom we set out to have fun with, right?Let us make use of the blog that Alfred created. http://masquerade2008.blogspot.com/
Let me hear your voice. uuuummmm, Let me put it this way, if I won't hear from anyone via
email, txt or phone call before the mid of May, I'll take it as the answer to the 2nd night
is a "GO."
This should stir us a bit huh?!? hehe. Sorry if you think I'm being so callous about this. Really, I'm not.
Its quite the opposite actually. My passion to this is soft-natured and that is why, I'd love to see everyone
take pleasure in knowing that you experienced what you came out to Las Vegas for.
I guess I have said enough for one night... So let me present you with an updated list of attendees
which, BTW, I thought would not improve in number anymore...hehe
