Greetings and warm birthday wishes to our February birthday celebrators!

Elena Chiongbian Young turned all of 70 years young some weeks ago and to make the event memorable, the affair started with a Thanksgiving Mass officiated by Msgr. Boy Alesna held at the scenic Chateau By the Sea in Mactan, Cebu. With the Hawaiian theme, the birthday girl portrayed as Hawaiian princess garbed in a blue flowered Muu-muu complete with floral headdress.
Cocktails were served first followed with dinner catered by Pino. Then entertainment numbers were presented by Loretta Calderon's group and Zonta Club 2 members. Ballet dancer Mariter Klepp did a solo number too.
What made Nena truly fulfilled on her birthday was her raising a six-digit figure donation for the club's outreach project. Yes, Nena, in lieu of gifts requested her guests to donate to her favorite charities, and Zonta was one of them.
After all the games and surprises galore, dancing all night long with a band taking over.
