UP NorCal Happenings: Sep-Oct '10
A. Homeward Bound by Ike Araneta
On October 2, the brods from UP North gathered at GP Gerry Abenes' home to bid farewell to a brod who has been an active part of our Betan Family for the the past seven years. Brod Dr. Vicente "Titing" Valdez '61 and his wife Cheng have finally decided to go back to the homeland to a gentrified retirement and more importantly to be with family.

B. UPAASV Gala Affair by Bong Beredo
UP Beta Sigma North showed its support to
the UP Alumni Association of Sacramento and Vicinity where Brod Johnny Regadio
was the outgoing President. The 3rd anniversary dinner-dance was held on September 25 at
the Lions Gate Hotel in Sacramento. UPAASV has provided financial
assistance and scholarships to needy students in UP Los Banos and Central
Luzon State University in Nueva Ecija, Christmas Care packages
(toys, school supplies, toiletries, etc.) for disadvantaged children in
Quezon City, and food and clothing for the homeless through Loaves &
Fishes in Sacramento. Current GP Manolo Banzon and incoming GP Gerry Abenes both graced the occasion of the gala night together with UPBSFI President Willie "Tatang" Vergara and other brods of the chapter.
