QC Red Cross joins club officers in consultative meeting held with Bgy. Masambong officials

The Quezon City Red Cross, represented by no other than its administrator Mrs. Annie Torres, joined CP Don and CS Salvie, together with some PHP Foundation in Asia, Inc. officers and members, in holding a consultative meeting with Bgy. Masambong officials last Saturday, July 2, 2005. Mrs. Torres was accompanied by one of her staff.

The meeting was held at the barangay hall at around 3 p.m. It was also attended by community leaders coming from the barangay's four depressed areas. Unfortunately, the barangay health worker was not able to attend.

As, previously agreed, initial lists of families affected by the chronic flooding in their areas were submitted. This would allow the club to have a clear idea on the number of target beneficiaries to contend with during heavy rains or in the height of a typhoon.

During the said meeting, it was agreed that the club will enter into a MOA with QCRC as institutional partners in pursuing the club's "focused community development initiatives" in Bgy.
