After the kids games and events the over 50 children was greeted by santa's thundering ho ho ho, lots of giveaways and gifts was distributed courtesy of santa and the association. To top it all up santa brought a big bag full of coins and showered the children with them, it was a fun filled pandemonium for all ages. |

The party was free for everyone but not without its messages, after all the association has the slogan ?The Mission is the Reason!?. The party was capped by an announcement by the president Jun Enverga of their upcoming party on May 15, 2004 dubbed as the Tropical Night at Malvern Community Center to fund their ongoing EDUCATIONAL MISSION. The association has pledged to help the poor and needy students in the Philippines by funding the construction of a two classroom building and at the same time providing over a hundred chairs and desk with it ? This is the Christmas Gift of the officers, members and supporters of the Lucena City Association of Ontario to our poor and needy kababayan. |
