Brod Dr. Joe Lalas'69 tops Corona-Norco School Board, throws party

 

 

Brods,

 

Let us congratulate our fraternity brother, Jose Lalas, for being elected as a new member of  board of the unified school district of the cities of Corona and Norco in Southern California.

 

As of 8:20 a.m. November 5, 2008 with 72% of votes counted, Jose Lalas has garnered the  highest number of votes.  Joe won one of the three (3) vacant seats in the Corona-Norco Unified School District Board of Education.  He obtained 9% more votes than second-placer and  re-electionist Cathy Sciortino, who has been a school board member since 1995.  He received 34% more votes compared to Michell Skipworth, a newcomer who won the third board seat.

 

Joe garnered 57% more votes than the fourth placer Pat Scott, who could most likely lose this election after serving the  Corona-Norco Unified School District school board during the last five years.

 

Mabuhay ka Joe!  Yes We the Beta Sigmans Can!

A Message of Appreciation and Beyond

Brothers,

This is from the heart!  Thank you for all your support.  Many individual brothers have done an outstanding job of providing moral encouragement and financial assistance to my campaign.  I salute to these Brods.  I also salute to the Fraternity and our membership as a whole for creating and maintaining our strong culture of Brotherhood that allows opportunities for Brothers to help one another. 

There are many lessons learned from my campaign and my political involvement that I would like to share with all of you sometime in the future.  I know that you will be very receptive to this because you are all in many ways very active and playing leadership roles in your own social clubs, religious gatherings, alumni groups, and professional associations.  Some of you might even be inspired to run for a public office in your own respective communities.  The truth is many of you, my Brothers, have the time, resources, leadership, and talent to be leaders in the cities where you live.

I would like to thank the Fraternity from the bottom of my heart! However, I would like to thank the following Brothers for their very important financial contributions:  Bernie Bacosa, Norman Bituin, Ed Cornelia, Jummy de Luna, Art Martin, Sonny Pagador, Ago Romero, Carling Taguinod, Winston Acevedo, Fred Aquino, Ike Araneta, Cecilio Felix, Poga Gaspay, Babes Ignacio, Narcing Lapuz, Gabby Moraleda, Bobby Pascual, Ernie Tremor, Dave Villegas, Don Ganchorre, Sluggo Rigor, Rick Velasco, Greg Vergara, Lem Michelena, Judge Rey, Rey Carandang, and Ernie Igot.  Brods, you've inspired me to run an outstanding campaign and you've made feel very proud to be a member of U.P. Beta Sigma Fraternity.  Mabuhay tayong lahat.

Salamat.
