April 2013 Core Group Meeting

     It was a very fruitful Sunday for all of us. Our core group meeting was held at Balihai Restaurant along Visayas Avenue last April 21, 2013. The venue was suggested by Orlan, one of the core group members. He also suggested that the place be the venue of our SOPP this coming May 19. The place was very nice, very cozy and it can accommodate many people who would like to attend our event. Everyone was ok with the suggested place. The SOPP will start at 3 PM in the afternoon and most likely end before 6 PM. We shall have a peace pole somewhere in the area. The flags that we will be using for the event shall be coming in from Japan. Marlon, another core group member, offered to download the movie presentation with flags from the internet. He shall also document the event with his camera. The emcees for this event shall be Jake and Genie. We shall also have a vegan snack. Gabby, another core group member suggested to have an event shirt for the core group members and some mandala shirts for sale for anyone who wants to buy one. Jake shall do the shirt designs using some positive words and will be posted here for orders. Gabby further suggested that people from different religions can stay at Balihai Restaurant after 6 PM or immediately after the SOPP event as a consolidation activity. There's a videoke there where people can sing and a stage with some musical instruments where people can perform. People can also talk to everyone while listening to people singing or performing. Orlan added that a Balinese dancer can perform during the event or during the consolidation activity. This is really worth watching. Since Toots shall be joining the community in Baguio for the SOPP, Queenie and Oscar shall take over the Mandala Writing workshop on May 18. The SOPP will also be done in different places in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. May Peace Prevail On Earth.
