With regard to the mini-reunion for 2 November, Rudy L said...
"Shouldn't the mini-reunion planned for Nov. 2nd be rescheduled? It will be awhile for the city to recover from the ravages of the typhoon."
Also, Delma L. emailed: "since Nov. 1 is All Saint's Day in the Philippines, and people will be either going down to the provinces to visit their dead except for those who are in Baguio. Nov. 2 usually is a family day for some, and the rest would be coming back from the provinces, and depending on the traffic situation and weather condition, I hope we can get as many Cl61 to attend." Delma, kindly cancel arrangements with Golden Pine Hotel since we need to move the dates.
It looks like the essential focus of Baguioites for the next months to come is upon getting dry, obtaining food supplies, attending to the sick and injured, repairing homes, rangtays and roads.
May we please have views of others, and some idea on suitable dates. I would vote for the reunion to be postponed, to coincide with the dates of the annual reunion of City High the first Friday and Saturday of May 2010, killing two birds with one bato. Or if you have any other ideas please share them.
Rudy, because of the time difference it is a bit difficult to get Ludy B-A on the telephone. Kindly pass on the message about postponing the mini-reunion, and if she has some ideas about dates.
Ar B, are you Canada or Baguio right now. But I think I see you giving swimming lessons in the Lagoon in the photo posted on the 9th, to the left of the foreground pine tree and green roof.

I will advise Lourdes of the mini-reunion postponement from Nov. 2nd to a later date.
I will also email Joe regarding May, 2010 as the suggested date for the postponed planning session.
Please note: Based on the article attached, Baguio is not experiencing any crisis.
My apologies to everyone if I made a rash conclusion and pictured negatively the travelling conditions getting up to Baguio. This contributed to the decision to cancel the scheduled Class61 planning meeting on November 2.
I am still used to my Philippines experiences of 'slow recovery' at disastrous situations. I guess, the country has changed during my years of absence. So, it's up to the coordinators to reactivate the meeting or defer it to a later date as earlier suggested.
