How many of you are aiming to win the prize for “PARAMIHAN NG KA-BATCH?” contest? Guguyod din ba ang mga kamag-anakan at kaperbahay ninyo? Isasabay n’yo na rin ba ang matagal ng planong mini-reunion ng inyong pamilya sa Las Vegas?

Malapit na ang ating pinakahihintay na 8^th Lucbanin Grand International Reunion & Dinner-Dance hosted by the Lucban Association of Northern California (LANC) in cooperation with the Lucban Association of Las Vegas.

BE THERE on JUNE 29, 2008

Attached is the form that includes the dinner-dance ticket confirmation and the ad contract for the commemorative album that will be a treasure to keep.

WELCOME to FABULOUS LAS VEGAS!

Day One - Sunday, June 29, 2008 from 6:00 PM – “SALUBUNGAN” – WELCOME PARTY hosted by LANC/Las Vegas-Lucban at a venue close to the strip. (Details of venue to follow).

The Venetian’s St. Marks Square will be our Paseo Rizal with the Lucbanin fun, laughter and spirit in the air, cones of Italian gelato will taste like sorbetes ni Angel with the langka or mango flavor, your gondola ride will glide just like the old kawayang balsa sa Sindiko o Layong Bilog, and the Italian serenade at the Square will sound like Alagaw’s hagbong.
