SAN MARINO,
Calif - Highlighting
this year's celebration of the Tanjay
USA Fiesta, 2000 is the Inaugural
Dinner and Ball
to be held at the plush Hilton Hotel in Pasadena. This was announced by
Marlene
Zerna-Robertson, incoming President of the Tanjay Association,
USA.
"Aside from an open bar, we have also contracted two live bands and ten
good-looking DI's. In that
way, dancing will be Non- stop," she smiled
knowing how
much Tanjayanons love
to dance. "Tan-awon ta'g kinsa'y
mo-surrender: the bands,
the bar or the
Tanjayanons," she added jokingly.
And how
about the scores,
or even hundreds, of out of town guests who are expected? "We are
prepared for them. Our own private facilities alone can
accommodate
fifteen families, plus we have a lot of hotels around," said Marlene
who
is also CEO and President of her Pasadena-based MZR Group
of
Companies.
3-day event
Additionally, in
a meeting presided over jointly by vice presidents Tita
Cusio-Gorospe
and Reynold Reyes, it was decided that this year's fiesta
celebration will again be a 3-day
affair. "With
Tanjayanons coming from all
over, some of them from Canada and possibly
from the
Philippines, a three-day
celebration would be just right to renew
our ties and
make up for lost time," explained Ms Gorospe.
"Affairs like
these are bonding
times," joined in Rey. "We'd like all Tanjayanons, young and old,
to come together not only to reminisce of the bygone days, but to build
memories for the future". Rey and Board Member
Marivic Buquiran, represent the
younger set of
Tanjayanons in the USA and
Canada.
