Led by President Cris Paras, the board headed to Sa-

and a warm welcome from the owner, Mrs. Venie Sajorda, past

Short after, the group proceeded to the meeting venue
to formally start the planning workshop. The exchange of ideas
between the members of the board made the discussion very
lively and fun despite the pressure.

the people whom the members themselves chose to be their ser-
vants— the 2010 PAARL Board.
