A Voice from Moms with Kids

Dear President,

I've been chatting with some rm's discussing things to consider for the reunion activities. We are very happy to have that progamme done and wondering if it's a final activities or not.

Here is the copy for your ready reference:

DAY 1 (Friday, 18 Dec 2009)

2:00PM Orientation, Socialization, etc. Back of the Visitors Center
3:00PM Devotional with Pres. A. Pagaduan Back of the Visitors Center

6:30PM Departure to Kamay Kainan Buffet, Trinoma Mall Trinoma Mall
7:00PM DINNER/Meeting Kamay Kainan, Trinoma Mall(Eat all you can Php 250.00/head)
8:30PM Back to Patron House/Hotels (REST) Patron House, Hotels, Homes

DAY 2 (Saturday, 19 Dec 2009 Caylabne Beach Resort)
4:00AM Departure from House Parking Lot
7:00AM Arrival
8:00AM Breakfast
9:00AM Swimming
10:30AM Group Games
12NN Lunch
1:30PM Swimming
3:00PM Snacks
4:00PM Departure to Manila Cavite to Manila


The first day of activities which we'll be having a packed lunch, registration, and fellowshipping would be great, but if we can let them eat whenever they want before going to the temple, so they don't have to bother bringing bags and boxes of food but instead they can bring finger foods, like chips and dips, fruit bowls etc. to munch in while visiting. This will be a more convenient way for mothers who have 2 or more kids. Of course they can pack snacks for their kids as they want.

The 2nd day, which says departure to Caylabne resort at 4am would be a little too early. That means couples who have kids needs to wake up earlier to pack up, take care of their kids and of themselves as well. I want to suggest that 6am would be a very considerable time for departure. That means we will arrive at 9am and instead of having a full breakfast, we can have a brunch at 10am and a table for snacks, fruits and water/juice will be set for the rest of the day. I don't know if this is a good idea? But I thought we can spend the whole morning by visiting, looking around the place and swimming. The whole afternoon will be for group games/family games.

I understand that one of the objectives here is to enjoy the fellowshipping and activities with our family and not to exhaust them just to meet what we want for them. Whatever decision you will made up with for the activity will be final.

Ayo ayo po.

Sincerely,
Analee
