Officers’ Meeting on June 7

Held at the Gils’ residence, attended by Tia Ringgy, Braddack, Alice, Anesio, Jean, Paraluman, Fern, Gigi, Falang (who came late), and Marianne (who came latest). The main topic was Balik-Tanjay activities. The Tanjay Fiesta-USA Picnic to be held on Saturday, July 12, which will include the Election of New Officers, followed by a jam session. More details on page 9.

The meeting had the usual format: wala’y adjourn-adjourn kay ug duna’y mo-abut nga may pagka-on, manindog ang tanan, dayong mangadto sa kusina. Unya kay si Gigi ning-appear for the first time in many months, siya ang ga-preside sa usa ka meeting sa eskina nga puro ra mga babaye ang naminaw. Ag mga lalaki nanan-aw ug TV nga Tarzan, dayong nag-sing along to Mario Lanza's songs. The rest of the evening was spent in ga-hinam-hinam ug unsa'y among himo-on during the big trip. Typical conversations:

Marianne to hubby Richard: Honey, there will be at least four dances! Richard to Marianne: Honey, you’ll have to look for another partner! Badingding to Alice: Nagpa-reserva na ko sa akong masahista ug modista! Alice to Badingding: Gapa-reserva na ko sa aokng manicurista! Falang to herself: Magpa-reserva jud ko ug akong kaugalingong DI kay wa pa jud ko maka-tilaw ug bayle nga ako ang gi-dala! Braddock to Danny: Duna kono’y "night-club" sa Luca! Anesio: Na-a ba na sa atong schedule?

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how your officers hold meetings!
