Davao Chapter #133

Our chapter held the GMM (General Members Meeting) via Zoom hosted by July & August birthday celebrants on 29th August 2022.

Madayaw sa Kadayawan is a harvest festival in Davao City during the month of August, thus, the members were dressed in Mindanao tribal attire/motif.

The GMM started with an Invocation Prayer followed by the official talks addressing the Chapter’s issues. Then, the next was the time for the celebrants to shine as we all sang a birthday song ending with the candle blowing on the cake.
There was, also, a virtual demonstration by the meeting hosts showing each of their own acquired skills in flower arrangement.
