PINOY CHATTER: SUMMER IS ALMOST OVER

It really hasn't been much of a summer - almost gone and I am still waiting for some warm weather.
Loved the USTA Choir presentation - so beautiful and so talented. That was my first time hearing them in concert and I would definitely do it again.

In July we also celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the UPAA. My husband and I were honored to meet the UP's President and his wife at a special brunch in his honor. Jojo Ramos is a dear classmate of his wife.

He gave a wonderful presentation at the dinner dance that evening which made his trip to the United States even more memorable.
At a recent PCCCF meeting we were given a first hand video report on how all the funds that we have sent to the Philippines are being utilized. The presentations by Jo Ann Kyle from ABS CBN and by Renee Mondano were well done. Both of these young ladies brought to the fore front the need to continue to help those that were affected by Typhoon Haiyan.

And now on to my favorite part of the end of summer. The PCCCF Golf Tournament. I don't golf - which brings to mind my disastrous bout of golfing in college - I took a course - thought it would be an easy way to get a few credits in my senior year. Well, we only had to golf 72 holes. I left it until the final day thinking "how hard could this be?" By the end of that day I was throwing the golf club just to get done with the whole thing. OK, so why is it my favorite thing??? I love riding around in the golf cart taking pictures of all the foursomes - Ironwood Golf Course in Sussex is beautiful and on a perfect day it is gorgeous. Great fundraiser - lots of fun to watch all the golfers enjoying themselves -
