2 Many thanks to those persons and corporations who donated such good prizes for the raffle and auction, and also of course to those who shelled out to participate. There will be another medical mission on Saturday May 30 at 8.30am and which has been asked of us by Balibago Barangay Captain Tony Mamac to assist families who have recently been dispossessed by the new rail line being constructed between Clark and Manila and are in need.. Following this mission another medical mission is organized for Saturday June 20 th commencing 8.30am in Barangay Malabanias and which is the largest Barangay in area and I suspect in anticipated attendees. I look forward to more of our members attending to assist the medical missions sub-committee on these days. The onset of the rainy season has come early this year and preventative treatment and medicines are now needed by these impoverished people. 100 mosquito nets have been purchased and delivered to Dr. de Guzman for distribution to the poor families down on the river east of Friendship. Social Tuesdays and the various venues for same are now published in the Blue Book. More next month JAMES E. CURTIS-SMITH President
