LAGUNA PICNIC--A SUCCESS!!

Say cheese everybody! Photo by Tonette Alonzo

AUGUST 26, 2000, Liberty State Park, NJ.  A potluck picnic was held by the Laguna Association Northeast USA, Inc.  The picnic was headed by its' president, Mr. Raul Estrellado, who was re-elected by acclamation.  The picnic was a Filipino Food Galore.  The temperature at the picnic was a cozy 72 degrees Fahrenheit.  You couldn't ask for a better weather.  There were quite of few people around and different organizations having picnic at the same location, however, the Laguna Association had a banner proclaiming its' name and presence that could be seen from hundreds or yards away. 

Noticeable was the big number of Louisiana residents.  There was one person from San Pablo, seven from Calamba, a few from Pila, Victoria and I could not remember the rest. 

It was a fun party, there were those that were singing with karaoke boom box that serve as the public address system when the meeting was started.

As a Calamba Laguna tradition, the Lagunaleños also had everyone stand up to the mike and introduced themselves and their families to everybody while a hat was passed around for contribution to the association. 

It was great, like being home.  Am I going to be there next year?  You bet.

And how about a Dinner-Dance?  Raul…, what do you say?# AMA

Mr. Raul Estrellado was re-elected as president by acclamation!
