January 2017 Core Group Meeting at ISIS Women's Center

       The core group met last January 16, 2017 to discuss about our plans for the year. Among the discussed plans are about the SOPP this May and the Mandala Writing Exhibit and workshop this June at Sining Kamalig located at the second floor of Ali Mall in Cubao, Quezon City. A launching of an inter-faith book written by Marites, one of our partners in the peace movement will also be launched during the SOPP. For this March, we will be starting a video production about our group and about our activities. We will be using these materials later on during mandala writing workshops. Lastly, we were given positive statements by Byakko Shinko Kai for this year. Some received a similar message from last year and for some new messages that are truly inspiring. May Peace Prevail On Earth.

December 2016 Core Group Meeting at ISIS Quezon City

       It was a very exciting core group meeting as we all planned our activities for the coming new year. We first started our meeting with our Christmas lunch together at KFC.

       Later on, Gabby joined the meeting with a box of cake. Miles showed us the letterhead that he designed for our NGO. Gabby also reported that there's a place in Cubao where we can have a Mandala Exhibit this coming March. Video documentation was also discussed about the NGO, Mandala writing workshops and stories of the workshop participants. Unfortunately we still need a nice camera for the video documentation. Hopefully we could come up with several Mandalas for sale and the money that will be raised would be enough to buy a nice camera for our video documentation project. The video documentation will be scheduled this coming April according to Toots. We'll also consider some options like t-shirts for sale just to raise the camera. As Christmas presents, Oscar gave away some of his old books. Thanks Oscar!

       Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone. May Peace Prevail On Earth! :-)

November 2016 Core Group Meeting at ISIS, Quezon City

       Aside from Orlan, we have two more birthday celebrants for this month of November: Kuya Toots Fungo and Gabby Medina. Unfortunately Gabby was not able to attend because of family reasons but he will surely not miss our December Christmas meeting. Seen here among the photos are the mandala creations of the members. And of course that delicious birthday cake. :-)
