Welcome our NEWLETTER....
At long
last, we have a newsletter. (Dugay ra unta ni, pero si Falang
ga-langay-langay mun gud!)
With so
many activities, happenings, visits, chismis, etc., there is only one
way to keep track of all of them - and to keep everyone informed.
This newsletter will be sent to all the Tanjayanons in the U.S., and to
our loved ones in Tanjay. A two-way means of keeping in touch,
indeed!
We will
need your support and cooperation, especially in sharing with us
whatever piece of balita (including chismis, of course!) you might
have: visitors from Tanjay; or have returned there for good; kinsa'y
nanga-matay, nanganak, gi-kasal o kalaslon, mga bunyag, who are moving
where, mga activities, meetings, reunions, even mahjongg sessions (pero
wala'y labut ug kinsa'y na-pierde sa patad!). Also, any tips and
hints about cheap airfares, job openings, immigration matters, items
for sale or exchange, balikbayan boxes, remitting money, etc., etc.
In short,
all the happenings within our family and Tanjay community circles that
affect us in one way or another.
In this
first issue, the big topic is our 1995 Tanjay Fiesta Celebration last
July. To those who only heard about it, lupig pa'y Bisaya ug
Liwayway drama stories!

There
are also stories of those Tanjayanons who were in our midst in the past
three months.
But
before all that, let us introduce this year's Tanjay-USA Association
officers:
President
- Badingding S. Gil
Vice-Pres. - Anesio Piñero
Treasurer - Alice Flores-Calumpang
Secretary-PRO - Perla Limbaga Manapol
Outgoing President - Nenen T. Luminares
In case
you haven't heard, the above officers were elected in a very special
way: gisulat lang ag ilang mga ngalan sa blackboard while the rest were
eating and drinking and kupay-ing and pong-ing during a picnic du-ol sa
ilang Piñero (nga daghang nanga-wala kay lisud kaayo and
directions). Then, someone announced, "O, ma-o ni'y atong mga
officers!" Everyone looked at the board, nodded, and then the new
officers had their picture taken.
Ma-o diay
ni and demokratik elections in America, no? You'll have to admit
that it beats the traditional system....
