Mattos Mail Bag!
Hello all,
The Valentine’s Dinner/Dance is cancelled.
I appreciate the 6 RSVP s received for a total of 12 expected attendees; adding my wife, a board member and myself, the total is 15.
At this point is not practical to wait for the numbers to improve and to keep the vendors in limbo.
My sincere appreciation to the previous presidents, Dave Wysuph, John Carr Sr. and their predecessors for having staged the event over the years.
I hope we were able to make it a pleasant evening for the attendees.
Unfortunately, the COVID experience, the loss of membership and other event related concerns lead to the declining attendance.
My heartfelt thank you to the following who were part of the dinner/dance experience for their services and help.
- Caterer John Nguyen of the Golden Harvest
- DJ’s Ron and his brother, retired Ofc. Roberto Payne
- Retired Ofc. Abraham Ra’oof for his Cloud Nine Photo booth
- Tony of Party Fiesta for the balloon arrangements
- Touch of Love Flowers for the centerpiece arrangements
- Retired Lt. George Padilla for balloon logistics
- The PBA members and their spouses who helped to set up the POA Hall for the event
- The POA for the use of the hall
Thank you,
Ernie Alcantar
PBA President
