From the President

Dear Fellow REALTORS,

September 18, 2010 is a RED LETTER DAY for all of us as we will be celebrating our 59th Founding Anniversary. Thanks to the men and women who braved the challenges of organizing the first ever professional real estate organization in Davao City 59 years ago. As the proverbial saying goes, the rest is history. And so it is just fitting that we come together to celebrate, have fun and fellowship with our colleagues and friends as we give due recognition to the pillars of our organization who unselfishly rendered their services without any hesitation.

Event: DBRFI 59th Anniversary Celebration
Date : September 18, 2010
Time : 6:00pm - 10:00pm
Venue: Top of the Apo, Apo View Hotel
Attire: Formal Evening Wear
Assessment: P590.00 / pax
Food - we will have dinner buffet, lechon and a whole fresh tuna direct from GenSan (sashimi)


What do we expect?

As what we have announced during the last general membership meeting, it would be a night of music, fun and thanksgiving.


Why Music?

We have invited a professional pianist and a pretty lady singer to provide entertainment. We can also jam with them and sing to our heart's delight. There are also special entertainment numbers to be rendered by some of our talented fellow realtors. Literally, we will be dancing the night away. We have invited 2 good-looking "dance instructors" and 2 pretty "dance instructress" to help us enjoy dancing to the maxxx.... Oh, BTW, we also have a pretty lady, a professional emcee who will facilitate the program...

Why Fun?
Singing is fun... and so is dancing.... Aside from that, each and everyone present will be receiving "Anniversary Give-Away"... It's not big-time though, but a remembrance worth keeping. We are also raffling off some minor items and a major major "Brand New Netbook".... Isn't this such a big fun?

Why Thanksgiving?
After all these years, we have not given due recognition the men and women who were instrumental in organizing the real estate brokers in Davao City. Mind you... most of us are not still around that time, so we are not only recognizing the years past, but their efforts and dedication to our cause is really commendable. Michael Jackson said: "THIS IS IT", and so we declare "THIS IS REALLY IT"...

1) First, we recognize the first incorporators who formed the first professional organization of real estate brokers
2) Second, we give thanks and recognition to the past presidents who bravely faced the challenges being one
3) Third, we confer Lifetime Achievement Award to REALTORS who have extended exemplary services in whatever
capacity they serve
4) Fourth, we also recognize the support given by the Department of Trade & Industry during those years that we were
under their jurisdiction
5) Fifth, our celebration will be graced by the top echelons of PAREB, our mother organization, namely:
a. National President Emmanuel H. Bocaling
b. Senior Vice Pres. Daphne Bereciarte
c. National Director Olive Ramos
d. National Treasurer Cherith Domingo (still for confirmation)
6) Sixth, Distribution of Certificates and Pinning of PAREB Lifetime Membership pin

As what we have promised, this is going to be a once in a blue moon grand celebration which we do not want to miss... and which we would like to share with everyone including your guests ( your Better-Half, Significant Other, Special Someone, BFFs, etc).

At this juncture, may I appeal for everybody's support in making this event a big success. Kindly relay the good news and extend the invitation to your friends, associates and board applicants....

Thank you and GOD bless us all.

Sincerely at your service,

Nora
