Christmas 2008 Activities

Dear Brethren and Sisters,

First of all let me and Sis Irene wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous and safe 2009 New Year!

Just a reminder that if you are in the area or in the country, please attend the following activities:

1. For tonight, Thursday, 18 Dec at Bro Manny and Sis Do Placido for a Christmas Carols practice as organised by Sis Remy (I believe), or just another excuse to meet before Christmas. Please bring desserts or snacks, drinks if you can.

2. Friday, 19 Dec at Oatley Masonic Centre, Letitia Street Oatley. From 7:45 PM, Tyling for lodge meeting at 7:15 pm but will be only of short duration (as promised by VP Bro Louie!).

Dining fee: $10.00 per person, partners, children, and friends welcome.

Masons, usual black dinner jacket or perhaps Barong (summer??).

Please RSVP to Louie Reyes or Manny Maniago by next Tuesday, 16 December 2008. I am sure they may accomodate late bookings.

3. Saturday, 20 Dec - FilMasons Christmas Party at WBro Bobby and Sis Nanette's residence.

Starting at 4 PM onwards.

Please bring a gift $10 or more for a unique Christmas exchange "barter" gifts!

Also bring desserts, food, snacks, drinks, or whatever you wanted to share to the Club, but not required as long as you and your family can come. If ever we are short of food (but hopefully not of company!), we will order pizza so our hosts are not pressured to cook or order tons of food.

4. Tentatively, (subject to approval of Sis Irene): After Christmas Party at my place on Saturday: 27 Dec at lunch and onwards: some BYO food and drinks, but Sis Irene and I will cook and prepare a special meal!

Thanks to all those who have sent Christmas cards (am still waiting for my gift!) and those who earlier communicated their apologies and responses. This gives us a very good feedback that a: you are receiving our emails and communication; and b: that we may know attendees for catering purposes.

So even if you can't join now for various reasons, we appreciate your honesty and feedback. Unfortunately we can't schedule every event to suit all our schedules, but we do hope that you will set aside even one meeting to be with us!

Again, wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year!

Fraternally,

Bro Mario & Sis Irene and family
and on behalf of the rest of the officers and members of FilMasons
