PAMWE GALA

On August 9, 2014 I attended my first PAMWE Gala together with my lady, Ms. Aida Hulen. It was a night full of fun and surprises. For those of you who are not familiar with PAMWE, it's an acronym which stands for Philippine Association of Metropolitan Washington Engineers. It's a non-profit, non-partisan, professional organization whose three (3) main goals are:

       1) To support engineering students with scholarships in Philippine colleges and universities

       2) To provide engineering expertise and funding for community development projects in the Philippines

       3) To assist members in job placement and professional licensing as well as improving their technical knowledge

To learn more about PAMWE, please visit our website: http://pamwe.org. Being new to this organization, I feel honored by the warm welcome extended to us by its officers and fellow members most especially by Engr. Rafael Discipulo and Engr. William Mendoza with whom we had a lively conversation. We had fun on the dance floor although occasionally we got hit by "flying" enthusiastic dancers. We truly enjoyed the evening which was topped off with winning one of the raffle prizes.

To all PAMWE officers and fellow members, I really appreciate the memorable evening with you on our 34th anniversary dinner dance gala. I consider it an honor to be a part of such wonderful and caring organization. Congratulations to Carl Layno and other officers for a job well done!
