Message from the President

It’s been five months since I took over as President of the MALFIL Club and I could say that I am lucky to have a team of officers who are committed to the Club. We have already lined up our activities (at least until the next AGM). These activities are focused on FFEC (Fitness, Fun, Education and Charity). We already had two sessions of dance and singing lessons and, oh boy, we really did have lots of fun. We hope the rest can join us in the next one.

We also had the DEEPARAYA Gathering on the 2nd of November at Seri Puteri Restaurant and we were very delighted with the turnout. Our favorite Stand-up Comic Stephen Fernando came because he considers himself part of the MALFIL Family.

This year, we have a mission to fulfill, that is, to encourage the inactive members to be come back to the fold so we can be a one bigger happy family again. We hope we can achieve an increase in active membership by 20%.

To be able to keep up with the MALFIL happenings, please inform Myra, our Club Secretary, your yahoo email address so she can invite you to our e-group. If you do not have a yahoo email address, apply for one. We do not want you to miss Fariz’ crazy jokes and sometimes relevant info.

Before I end, I would like to thank the Editor-in-Chief Leilanie for her efforts to put up this newsletter. Despite her busy schedule pursuing her Doctorate Degree, she found time to guide our new and very young editors Prabu and Airish to produce this finished product. Prabu and Airish, congratulations on your first assignment. (Actually, Airish has been bugging me for this prez message with sms and phone calls for a week! Sorry to keep you waiting. Your Tita was very busy last week). This is part of your training as future leaders of the Club. My sincere thanks to our contributors, Cerlita, Ben and Zinndra. Keep those articles coming.

Yours sincerely,

Maria Camencita Q. Anonuevo
