during a gathering of BCASDC members last January 30, 2010

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.

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.
