| Alpha Phi Beta of Univ of the Philippines Reunion Saturday, may 26th 2007 Diamond Bar, CA By Orly Paray A Night of Celebration for Alpha Phi Beta Fraternity So much Alphan collaborative spirit and energy poured into the event that everyone anticipated it to be a success. And so it was. At the Holiday Inn Select Hotel in Diamond Bar, California on that pleasant spring evening of May 26, 2007 some thirty three (33) Alphans all over the West Coast, their families and friends met in warm fellowship for two reasons: to bear witness to the induction of the new Board of Directors and officers who will serve for the next two years and as a celebratory fraternity reunion, the last one having been held some 15 years ago. Bringing the Alphans together in one affair is not a problem. They will come and be counted. And they did. A Souvenir Program superbly prepared for the occasion added more historical perspective and personal impact to the affair, highlighted by the induction ceremonies, the acceptance speech by the new Lord Chancellor Jun Magpali, the giving of three awards: the Alphan For All Seasons Award to Tony Doles; the Outstanding Alphan Award to Eric Aguiluz and a Certificate of Appreciation to Sis Becky Doles, amidst jubilant Alphans standing en masse, culminating in the giving out of a score of door prizes in between rythmic ballroom dancing and vocal renditions. Indeed, it was an enjoyable and memorable family affair. The Directors so inducted were Board Chairman Eric Aguiluz, Directors Tony Doles, Manny Alvarez, and Bobsie Llacar. Director Butch Olivar was not able to attend. The officers who were inducted were Lord Chancellor Jun Magpali, Vice Chancellor Sonny Siazon, Treasurer Rudy Baliton and Chronicler Orly Paray. The Lord Chancellor, Jun Magpali, in his short but direct to the point acceptance speech, outlined his programs during his term and then thanked all Alphans for their all-out support for him and his leadership and at the same time profusely credited the Alphans Ladies Circle for the success of the event, headed by the Over-all Chairperson, Lydia Magpali, Becky Doles, Elenita Baliton, Gilda Alvarez, Annette Siazon, Ella Llacar, Araceli Dumlao, Sonia Pacis, Nila Flores and a score of others. Noteworthy also was the number of out of town Alphans who attended the affair, namely: frequent miler Narciso Tadeo; Ben Noble from San Diego; Archie Monserate (Batch 97) from Salinas, Northern California and Dante Valera from Bellingham, WA.
