GREETINGS TO ALL!!!
It’s that time of year once again when the annual An Taclobanon fiesta celebration is
not that far around the corner. The executive officers and board of directors of An
Taclobanon Association of Southern California, together with this year’s main fiesta
sponsor Veneranda Toledo, believe we can best prepare for it with everyone’s
participation.
We, therefore, find it important to advance to you a few reminders related to the fiesta.
Please take note of the following:
Until then, we hope for your continued support and involvement especially in this year’
s novenas. Please refer to the novena schedule.

participation.
We, therefore, find it important to advance to you a few reminders related to the fiesta.
Please take note of the following:
- 2008 IS AN ELECTION YEAR Every other year, we elect a new set of officers
to serve on a voluntary basis for a two-year period. We, therefore, encourage
everyone to start considering their nominees for the 15 Taclobanons who will
become members of the Board of Directors. Election Day this year coincides
with the day of the fiesta. The 15 members of the board who will have been
picked during this election will in turn elect among themselves 9 executive
officers in a special meeting. We will be sending out nomination forms and
election guidelines in the coming days for your convenience. It would also help
if you could share this information with our fellow Taclobanons. In the spirit of
democracy, always remember to choose a leader that shares your vision of
what the An Taclobanon of Southern California should be.
- CAMPAIGN FOR HERMANDAD For 2009 and onwards, we are still looking
for Fiesta Sponsors or Hermanos/Hermanas. We encourage every member in
good standing to signify his/her interest as soon as possible for advanced
scheduling. Share the blessings that Santo Niño has continually showered
upon us. Be a Fiesta Sponsor, and be a part of the An Taclobanon “Hall of
Fame.”
- MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN We encourage new members to enlist as well as
for existing members to update their membership with An Taclobanon
Association of Southern California. You can do this during the fiesta or through
the An Taclobanon website, www.antaclobanon.com. By doing so, we don’t
lose touch of each other.
Until then, we hope for your continued support and involvement especially in this year’
s novenas. Please refer to the novena schedule.

If you found yourself
ending up in this site by
accident, here are a few
tips to help you not to get
out:
- Tacloban City is the
capital city of the
province of Leyte,
Philippines. - Denizens of the city
are called
"Taclobanons." - Ergo, An
Taclobanon
Association of
Southern California
are Southern
Californians based
in Tacloban.
Correct? Wrong! :)

In addition, the ATASC was represented in
the mission by 13 medical and non-
medical volunteers who provided their time
and money for the duration of the mission.
All of them shouldered 100% of the cost of
transportation, that is, from the U. S. to the
mission site and back, and lodging.
At the end of the mission, the overall
feedback of all the volunteers was positive.
When asked if they will do it again, the
response was a resounding, “yes!”
The 2008 MEDICAL MISSION SPONSORS
will provide funding for the cost of
medicines and medical supplies. The
delivery of these medicines and medical
supplies will be taken cared of by a team of
medical and non-medical volunteers who
will compose the mission. Just like the
2006 mission, these volunteers will be
joining the mission using their own
resources of time and money to get to the
mission site and back.

THE An Taclobanon
MEDICAL MISSION PROJECT
The 2008 Medical Mission Project is
meant to replicate the big success
experienced by the An Taclobanon
Association of Southern California
(ATASC) when it participated in a medical
mission to Tacloban City in 2006 led by
the Auxiliary to the Philippine Medical
Association of Michigan (APMAM).
During that mission, the ATASC equally
shouldered with APMAM the cost of
medicines and medical/surgical
supplies, which amounted to roughly
$15,000.
With this amount, the mission was able
to fill prescriptions for roughly 4,000
patients and adequately supply 40
outpatient surgeries.
