Please reply to this email, if you are coming or not. Please? God Bless.

CHANGES! CHANGES! CHANGES!

hey everyone!

it's Eddie Lamson here! It'll be my last post from this blog so I just wanted to inform you all of the changes in our cluster and chapter. Effective today, February 2nd, 2008, I will be moving to serve as chapterhead in Scarborough Northeast. Looking back 8 months ago, it is hard to believe how much I have learned and grown in such a short time. We have accomplished more for this chapter and this organization than I had ever imagined. The people I met and the friends I've made here have changed my life forever. My journey could not have been completed alone. And for that, I would like to give thanks, especially to God who has truly blessed me. To Sarah, and Mr. & Mrs. Canlas, thank you for your unconditional support. To the leaders of Markham York Region, thank you for showing me that I'll always have someone by my side. And to the members, I looked up to each and everyone one of you for inspiration; I will miss our great times. To my successor, I wish you all the best on your incredible adventure. To everyone, as I once told our leaders not so long ago, remember that there is only one Markham, and it will always be our home. It is a home that we created together and for that we should be truly proud of what we have accomplished in such a short time. Keep building on that home so that others may feel the same love and faith that you all have experienced. As for me, I will definitely be around, I'm just in the neighbouring chapter! My journey in faith is still going on. I cannot wait to see where the rest of my service will take me.

Metro East Cluster 3 Heads: Charmaine Illedan and Josh Crisostomo

Durham Chapterheads: Armi Defrancia and Andrei Nazareno

Scarborough Northeast Chapterheads: Kristen Paguiligan and Eddie Lamson

and last but not least.............

MARKHAM YORK REGION CHAPTERHEADS: RAMIEL MIGUE AND SARAH TAN!!!

Next Events:
