Again, though the himidity was high, it had not dampen the reunion celebration. Swimming at the beach and games such as frisbees, volley ball, and tag of war were enjoyed by all. There were lots of pictures and videos taken at the beach picnic, pictures are now availablee in this website. As the sun sets to end the day, there were lots of tired pickners, but much satisfied to have had this joyous occasion. The Next Curameng Reunion in 2004 - It was indeed unamimous by those present members of the Curameng Clan that there will be another Curameng Reunion by 2004; the plan is to hold it at West Covina, California, where a beach and party amenities are sufficiently available and party poopers should again enjoy the next reunion, or may be would hold the reunion on board a cruise ship off the Caribbean region. Reccommendations: There were indeed lessons learned based on this reunion, being this was our first; food should be catered for the 3-day celebration to release us from the burden of labor and worry; Program agenda must be established to facilitate thorough implentation; and record of this kind of event is a must to look back and to savor and to reminisce the good times of reunion. |
