MARCH 29, 2008 8:00-9:00pm IS EARTH HOUR

Earth Hour will take place throughout the Philippines from 8 to 9 in the evening on Saturday, 29 March 2008.

Launched in Australia on the 31st of March 2007, Earth Hour moved 2.2 million people and 2100 businesses in Sydney to turn off their lights for one hour. This massive collective effort reduced the city's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour. With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turning their lights off and unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

YOUR participation will go a long way in spreading the message that we, as individual droplets working collectively – can create an impetus far more powerful than the mightiest of rivers. For more information, log on to the WWF Earth Hour page at: http://www.earthhour.org/

On March 29, 2008, from 8:00pm to 9:00pm, the entire stretch of Roxas Boulevard which spans three (3) cities will join the rest of the world for Earth Hour-- an event that will create awareness on climate change and prove that people around the world working together can make a difference in the growing fight against global warming.

The Cultural Center of the Philippines’ fountain area will provide the backdrop for a countdown event where Philippine Earth Hour Ambassadors will come together with local press for a symbolic “switch off”.

Even SM Mall of Asia, the world’s third largest mall, will shut down their lights for Earth Hour. In fact, all of the SM Supermalls nationwide will be participating in Earth Hour. Makati will be participating as well and lights will go down in the metro’s Central Business District and all Barangays. Ayala malls and all Ayala owned and maintained buildings will be shutting down their lights too.

RAISING 8K FOR PARK RENOVATION

WE NEED PHP8,000.00 to renovate our park. The nipa cottage built 4 years ago was already rotten and could not be used anymore. This time we will be using GI Sheets and concrete flooring so it will last for more years.

We will be pulling up our resources and make it available before April 18, 2008. As of the last COE Meeting held March 22, 2008 at Cabinta's Residence, Katangawan GSC, the following had already pledged their financial help:

Pikel 500, Diwata 500, Alon 500, Jerson 500, Tugas 500, Anjing 500, Kuya Pol 500, Tarabusaw & Alingatong 500, Matutum 500, Sinag 500, Yapak-Itim 500.
