Outdoor Activities
Summer is the time we seek adventures and experiences. Our picnics were indeed fun filled glorious days. Our picnics would not be a tremendous success without the help and 100% participation and support of everyone. You can see from everyone's faces and expressions especially the kids that they are having a wonderful unforgettable time that day. Our picnic during the Canada Day was beautiful. We had a special mass in the park with Father Mondragon. We were blessed with a beautiful day, lots of food, lots of fun and a beautiful sunny location.
Our picnic was held in Graves Island campground where everyone brought a lot of food that's more than enough for everybody. We were also presented with the keyboard piano organ that Dr. Villacastin and Eddie Savard donated for the Society. It was indeed very generous of them to donate that piece of equipment that is much needed by our "Glee Club".
Our society's outing at Blueberry Acres was also an event to remember. Although there was some misunderstanding as to the actual meeting place, somehow we all managed to find each other (No Problemo). We bet everyone still remembered how hot that day was to pick blueberries and yet everyone was just as happy to go along as planned. A festive lunch was served in the look off area and everyone proceeded to pick blueberries and have a lot of belly berry fun, Even the bus driver had some jokes to tell. What a great day it was despite the heat! Hey, what's a little heat? Filipinos are always survivors and that is something we can be proud of.
