Reunion 2005 June 23rd

Reunion 2005, Orlando FL

JUNE 24th

Day Cruise on Sterling Casino: Gambling is not legal in Florida, so they created ships with casinos on board. Now, nobody gambles on them until the ship leaves Florida's legal jurisdiction (3 miles out to sea). At that point, they turn on the one-armed bandits, break out the chips, and collect your money!

"We were sailing along..."	L-R: Edith Yumang Shermer, Odit, Mrs. Ferrariz, Evelyn, Cora, Imelda, Bing, Zeny. Standing: Rica Gonzalez Torneros, Crisanta Gonzales Madria.	L-R: Mrs. Ferrariz, Ida Combatir Estrada, Helen Biadoma, Rose Tina Dimamway, Zeny, Rose dimamay...OH, you get the idea!!	Since we're VIPs, we got the prettiest waitress on board.
Everyone gets their turn with the Brothers.	Got a good photo from this trip? Please send email to info@notredamegensan.org. Salamat!.

GENERAL MEETING & ELECTION OF OFFICERS: As in 2001, we also held "A Fair to Remember" where wares were everywhere for sale and silent auction. Wine, hand-made dolls, t-shirts, even copies of the local GenSan newspaper were available. Afterward we held our election of officers, and nominated the next reunion venue. The winner was Vancouver British Columbia, Canada!

"We were selling along..."	"When neighbors meet..." Former neighbors in Third Barrio Lagao--Celia Parica Esma, Mrs. Remy Ferrariz, & Nena Guipo Adonay--paused for a pose.
