2009 Christmas Greetings

Greetings To All!

I can’t believe the Christmas season has come upon us once again; it seems like only yesterday we were celebrating all the blessings 2008 brought us.

My fellow bicolanos, I wanted to thank you all for your continued support with the Bicol USA Houston Chapter. Looking back at the numerous events, such as; the Easter Sunday Picnic, Bicol Summer Picnic, Our Lady of Penafrancia Celebration, and the just concluded Christmas Party, all of which were successful mainly due to the blessing of God Our Father and thru the intercession of our “INA”.

I salute to all the hardworking officers for their tireless effort and very thankful to all our generous members and supporters of this organization, and of course, to you all.

Not only looking back am I amazed at all of the accomplishments, but looking forward I am excited to press on and plan one of the more exciting events of the year to come ---the nationwide annual conference of our mother organization, the 2010 Bicol National Association of America (BNAA) on July  16, 17, & 18, 2010 to be hosted by Bicol USA Houston Chapter here in Houston. I know the camaraderie and fellowship of our fellow Bicolanos and adopted Bicolanos will not only bring us closer together but will address the concerns of our fellow Filipinos back home.

Thank you again and I hope to see you soon in the upcoming year’s festivities!

From my family to yours, we wish you a Joyous Christmas and very Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

Dios Mabalos Sa Indo Gabos,

Gwen S. Zalun
President 2008-2010
