Jaycees raises $600 for Strides AgainstBreast Cancer on Sunday, October 16, 2005

Team Jaycee raised over $600 to benefit Breast Cancer researchand awareness. Initially, there was some concern about joining thiswalk so soon after the Walk for Poverty but the team members knewat least one person who had gone through the pain and suffering ofthis disease which made it easier to participate. Joining Ares Ebreo,Christina Corcuera and Jocelyn Bernal were Cristina Ramos and

Annie Ortiz.

This 5 mile walk around Central Park was easy to do and quite fun.What made it even more special was seeing breast cancer survivorsand their family and friends joining the walk to celebrate beating thedisease and showing hope to others who may still be fighting for theilives.

We thank all of our donors who allowed us to exceed our Teamexpectation of $500. Jocelyn would like to specially thankJoseRamos, Arnie Rosario, Nelsie Parrado, Cora and Kits Reyes,Gheng Pingol, James Curran, Tiglao Management Co, Judy

NYC Marathon - Nov 2005By Vicky Chang

This year was my first NYC Marathon attendance, and it turned out tobe a great day. When Ares asked me to be there at 11am, I firstthought too early for me. However, it turned out to be a beautifulday and a lot of fun. Handing out water to the runners with fellowJaycees was a great way to bond, and the whole marathon

atmosphere was positive and upbeat. At the end of the day I wasexhausted, but it felt good to know that the exhaustion resulted insomething good.

This project was chaired by new member Florina Monroy andAres Ebreo..

Featured members of the month:A Personal Introduction-Jericho A. LunaHi, my name is Francis Jericho A. Luna but people call me Echo. , Ifinished college at FEU Philippines. I am 21 which I guess makesme the youngest Jaycee member. I have been in New York for only6 months and this is going to be my home from now on. I amworking in a company which sells educational materials to local andinternational college students.

Uprooting myself from a life I have always known was difficult but Ihave no regrets with my life. First was my childhood, I was raised inthe Philippines and my fondest memories were playing with mychildhood friend in the streets. Being a street kid opened my eyes towider spectrum of life I realized how simple life can be. I learned tobe thankful for all that I had. In my young mind and I guess even in

the minds of most Filipinos, we appreciate any thing that we have inlife, no matter how small or simple.

And then I moved to big city of New York. As I met my father, pastpresident of the Jaycees, my eyes were opened even further. Irealized that we can live life as simple as it can be and yet still haveeverything. My father always said to me that the world is big, exploreit and widen your horizons. I am just amazed at how life can be, itwe just have to take each opportunity

For me, being a Jaycee member will really widen and expand my lifeI am glad to be one of the newest members of the Philippine NewYork Jaycees. Thank you for the people who got me into thisorganization that might open my perspective and make me a betterperson.

Mediocre Film, Finest AudienceBy Elaine Magalona-Dayoan

On November 15, 2005, Phil-NY Jaycees showed the meaning ofcamaraderie, once again, when the officers, directors, board advisers

and members attended the FanclubX.com film making contest at theImaginasian Theater. On the same night, Phil-NY Jaycees receivedan award from FanclubX.com for its role in community service anddevelopment, and as an appreciation for the Jaycees role insupporting other organizations like FanclubX.

What was deeply appreciated was the fact that the Jaycees camethrough, once again, to support us Almor Dayoan, Darwin Ignacio,and myself its members, in this artistic endeavor. Although I wasdeeply discouraged and upset with my mediocre film, PresidentChristina, Director Krizteen, Incoming Directors Jericho and Hector,

Adviser Ner and Incoming President Vivian, showed that they are thefinest audience by encouraging us to do and feel better. For that,

Almor and I thank you for all the support. You guys, are the best!

Concepcion, Krizteen Dulay, Jericho Luna, Antero
