With the fun and hoopla over for the very successful MIO-3 reunion in Las Vegas last October 24-26, 2014, organizing chairman Fred Visperas-Martinez recruited Mangaldanians abroad to join a MIO Scholarship Award Program Committee to oversee the selection of deserving Mangaldanian high school graduates to receive a college education support.
The great Italian gardener of West Vancouver and loving husband, Remo Gambioli passed on to the next life and 'Atchie' Marie shares their beautiful moments together. Below is Marie's painting of Remo at work in his gardens.
What's in a tarp? It can just be a piece of outdoor fabric and it can also be the container of the solidarity of Mangaldanians. It is the growing list of signatures in the back portion of the tarp that is once more bringing together the community of Mangaldanians in North America, and so far, all the way to the United Kingdom and Belgium.
Update Feb 14 2015: Thank you to the more than 50 Mangaldanians and friends mostly from Metro Vancouver Canada who signed up on the tarp and contributed a total of CAD300. --editor Djoma
