Rotary International District 3780 Christmas Party at Camp Crame

Rotary International District 3780 Mardi Gras Christmas Party for 2011

Theme of this Year 2011 Christmas Party hosted by Rotary International District 3780 is Mardi Gras in December.  This is my first time to attend a Christmas Party hosted by the Rotary Club District 3780 (of which my Club, the Rotary Club of Masambong, is affiliated with) and for this year 2011, it was held at the PNP Multi-Purpose Center inside Camp Crame in the heart of Manila (for those in the dark, that's where the Philippine National Police or PNP is based).


How did it come about that a Christmas Party is inside a Police headquarters?  No, it is not meant to keep us in our best behavior but rather, the newly-appointed PNP Director General, Gen. Nicanor Bartolome, happens to head also the Rotary Club of Camp Crame.

But being in a humongous Police Headquarters did not detract from the fun and revilement as the Rotary District 3780 Christmas Party not only had its fair share of blaring noise, shouts and laughter as well as blazing and flashing lights, it was also attended by, in my estimate, at least a thousand Rotarians and Spouses and other well-wishers.

There was a lot of pomp as befitting a Mardi Gras Festival, to wit:

 

Yellowfin Tuna on Death Row

There was a lot of good food (a sumptuous Buffet complemented by a separate table for fresh Sushi (with a fresh Tuna on display as Body of Evidence) and another for the roasted Calf (it was on display before being parceled out to hungry Rotarians).

This the official table we had to guard & that's the official  Rotary Club of Masambong signage on top of it

Since empty tables were going out fast, I was tasked by the Madame Past President Polly Marcelo to guard our table at all costs.  Thankfully, Toni, the Madame's stunning daughter and fellow Rotarian and soon-to-be Business Mogul, kept me company and we did talk about Business (boring stuff to the typical partygoer but hey, we both are not typical!!!).  We also did take pics (just like typical partygoers.)

Ms. Toni A. Marcelo (stunning could be an understatement)

Great the masks fit!!

Glam photos galore:

That's it!! Till the next Christmas Party in 2012.  Should beat this year for it to be called a Success!

By the way, I am conducting a One-on-One Consultation on How to Setup and Operate Your Own Lotto Outlet. Topics include How to Evaluate a Site for Lotto, The Proper Way to Apply with the PCSO, Actual Operations, How to Prevent Fraud, How to Compete Against Other Lotto Outlets and many more. Please allot at least 2 hours for each session. My fee is only P2,000 per person (Group discount available). Just text me your full name and "Lotto Setup" to 0922-8831225 or call 514-2905 for details.

Acquiring a Lotto outlet is a lot cheaper than purchasing a Franchise from Zagu (P320,000) or Siomai House (P250,000) and it is simple to operate.

Latest news: PCSO has lowered the Cash Bond requirement and an individual is now allowed to own 3 lotto outlets.
