during a gathering of BCASDC members last January 30, 2010

at Lillian's residence , there was a shared consensus that

that the Association is 'deteriorating'. It was then suggested

that something has to be done about the presidency of the Association

in order to establish a viable leadership for the Organization.

2.2 It was suggested that Lalaine Velasco step up to be the

acting President of the Association. All the Officers present in the meeting

agreed to the suggestion.

2.3 Officers present expressed that they will support whatever

the Presidency decides.

3.1 Other suggestions by Officers at the meeting:

-Rico Bona suggested that Association Projects

should be simple and doable and must not be elaborate

so the Assocation has no difficulty attaining it.

-Plan out the logistics so that the picnic on September

will be a decent event.

-Officer Elections for the Organization will be held at the Septmeber picnic.

3.2 It was suggested that the "I MISS THE OLD BAGUIO" musical presentaiton

be used as a potential to recruit new members to the Organization.

Rico Bona suggested to hang a BCASDC Assocation banner at the venue so

that people will see it.
