1^st ASSUMPTION CENTENNIAL MISSION TRADE FAIR

he Assumption Alumnae Association in cooperation with High School Class '69 and College '73, will be hosting the First Assumption Centennial Mission Trade Fair on October 17 and 18 (from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. both days) at the Assumption Grade School grounds in San Lorenzo Village, Makati. This will take the place of the annual Assumptuous Bazaar. Being a Centennial Year for our country and Assumption's Centenary Year, the organizers thought of creating a uniquely special event.

The trade fair will have special features such as an ART AND CRAFT VILLAGE with day long craft demonstrations including weaving, jewelry making, carving, origami and ikebana some of which will be created by our very own Assumption alumnae from Japan. Various artists will offer portrait painting services in addition to selling other paintings. As a special treat, these artists will be hosting children's art lessons.

Other trade show special features include a CHRISTMAS VILLAGE, ECO-GARDEN and FOOD PLAZA. The Grade School Family Council will sponsor a DAY CARE CENTER where children will be treated to a day of fun and entertainment together with various educational activities.

For our fair, we will be showcasing products from various concessionaires, as well as products from a variety of Assumption missions in the Philippines such as Baguio vegetables, parols from San Simon, weaving from Sibalom and many more. In addition, we will have goods from our alumnae from Japan, Africa and hopefully other Assumption houses abroad. There will also be products from various communities involved in increasing homebased income such as rural and ethnic communities, prisoners and street children livelihood projects.

The High School and College girls will host some games and provide entertainment that were once part of the traditional Assumption Mission Day fairs in Assumption, Herran.

All the proceeds of the fair will benefit the various Assumption mission schools in the Philippines. If you are interested in participating by putting up a booth, let us know so we can check if any are still available.

Please pass this on to as many of our alumnae. Thank you!
