OUTGOING PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE


The year 2000 is nearing its end, and with it, I will mark the end of my term as President of NVAH.

In retrospect, the last four years have been a real challenge, quite simulating. We had dreams and visions for our hometowns, our home province and our "kailian" both here and in the Philippines. As focused and determined as we all were in NVAH, we planned, raised funds, and soon got these envisioned projects off the ground. Our excitement and surge of energy continued to escalate as we saw to their progress and completion.

I share with you the much deeper feeling of REWARD and GRATIFICATION as we see these dreams and ideas finally come to fruition, to realities. The book drive that reached various towns, the police precint in Bambang, the Governor's playground project at the Capitol with many other minor assistance and aids extended to our memberships.....All these have been very successful undertakings.

We owe these all to you: To the hardworking officers, board of directors, committee chairs, and many volunteers, who selflessly gave their 100% best; to our sponsors and benefactors who, until now, continue to generously support our causes through the years; and to all our families and friends, without your help and encouragement, we would not have had the strength to accomplish our goals. Thank you all so much!

However, like everything else, nothing is permanent. It is time for change. We all benefit from having a change in leadership. It is our hope that all the good things we have started and accomplished will be carried on and more so, we look forward to fresh eyes seeing new opportunities- exploring minds seeking new directions to follow. Once again, excitement is starting to build up.

Let us toast....TO THE NEW NVAH BOARD, ITS OFFICERS AND MEMBERS, FOR CONTINUING SUCCESS AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!

God bless you all!

  • If you have something in mind, say it, We will respect it.

      If you have read this far, I know I can work with you. You are fair and a committed person. You are one or a group of dedicated persons who value your credebility. I know that you support good programs, you desire to be consulted and be a part of the decission making process. So, be available. You value actions that are goal achieving, not tension relieving. Therefore, we can work together for the good of Nueva Vizcaya Association of Hawaii, its members and its supporters all around. We know no man is an island, let us then put a part of our time, talent, and energy, understanding together and forge a common goal. Your succes is my success and everyone's success. Let us work in the spirit of bayanihan and we shall succeed.

MESSAGE



Aloha,

On behalf of the officers and Board of Directors of Nueva Vizcaya Association of Hawaii, warm greetings and welcome to all of you.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to each and everyone of you. Your patronage and dedication make this special event materialize into life. It has been a long awaited moment....all the participants and planning just made everyone closer again.

Speaking of Simplicity, I would like to share a qoute with all of you, "Life is too short to be caretaker of the wrong default." This is my way of sharing with you my philosophy....to convey to you that the real meaning of good intentions are often not expressed in grandiosity, but rather in small obscured ways so people sometimes fail to notice.

Our event is far from perfect, but everything was put together with love and dedication for people. So we hope that you will enjoy yourselves and be one with us in our celebration. Please pardon whatever mishaps we may have.

From our families to yours, thank you for your support, and we hope to see you again in our next function.
