BALIKATAN (Balikbayan) BOXES – Won’t You Be a GiK Vessel?

Dear Balikatan Family,

HELLO ALL, and HEAR YE PLEASE, this URGENT APPEAL :D !

On behalf of the Board and IVCF Philippines, it is our joy to announce that we will continue the collection of Balikatan (balikbayan) Boxes for the IVCF Philippines Staff this coming Conference. Attached is IV Phils’ ”Wish List” for you to prayerfully consider. Hopefully – together – we will be able to provide for their GiK Needs (gifts-in-kind).

ATTENDING?
Consequently, please do not forget to bring your gift(s) with you if you are planning to attend Balikatan 2010. Also kindly mark clearly as to who your gift is for or for which unit. We will place some colorful boxes in strategic locations at the Conference Site where you can then deposit your tremendous “Stack of Goods” upon registering.

NOT ATTENDING?
Now, if you are unable to attend Balikatan 2010 but would still like to contribute to this “Wish List”, don’t despair! Please feel free to mail them to your Treasurer (as soon as possible) at 31 Chapel Street in Norwood, MA 02062. Better yet, have someone in your Fellowship/Chapter attending the Conference bring it for you…along with theirs.

Therefore WALANG LUSOT di ba? :D

DEADLINE?
We look forward to a huge collection this year! We trust the Lord will bless this initiative bountifully, and our staff workers at IVCF will consequently be overwhelmed by your generosity (as they always are!). So won’t you be a GiK Vessel today?!

Finally, we thank Kuya Rolly Malincoln for agreeing (again) to voluntarily bring these items to the Philippines during their upcoming Medical, Dental and Optical Mission on July 19-24, 2010.So if we could get your gifts to him at least a week before then, that would be great! Thank you again Kuya.

Looking forward to your favorable response.

May the Lord reward you ten-thousand-fold!
See you soon at BALIKATAN 2010!!!!

His Richest Blessings,
Edna
