SMA Alumni East Coast Reunion

At dahil ako e naiinggit… makiki chismis na lang ako at ichichismis ko din sa inyo ang mga pangyayari sa ibang panig ng mundo. Ang matindi nito, buwanan ang haba ng reunion nila, mula July to August 2010. Ano ba yun, hahaha
Come Join Us for the SMA Alumni East Coast Reunion.

It was agreed to have 1 BBQ party at Kristine’s house in Staten Island. So I have to revise the itinerary since we have extra days to spare. I also added the proposed menu for the BBQ. If you have special diet, allergies on certain food and places you want to see let us know.

Rachel Ray Show (I requested 10 tickets but no news from the show yet)
Night out to those who can. (kids needs baby sitting arrangement)

**
Watch a BROADWAY show? Should we do this on a separate day? Suggestion was Lion King but we need to know the age limit for the child and the no. of people so we can get group discount if possible. Might have to consider baby sitting arrangement to those kids who can’t come to the show.
