New York/New Jersey Chapter
The traditional annual get-together of the AFE-ADB New York/New Jersey Chapter will be held on Saturday, 22 October 2011 at the ROYAL REGENCY HOTEL, 165 Tuckahoe Road, Yonkers, NY 10710 from 6:30 pm to 12 midnight.
The officers and members of the New York/New Jersey Chapter met earlier and prepared an excellent programme which promises a night filled with excitement, dancing, singing and many more surprises. The theme goes around the wearers of hats – a fashion hat, a cap, a bonnet, a beret, a cloche, etc. and the award will be presented to the most exceptional hat. Do come and show us your hat. Your presence can only add to the success of this wonderful event. This year's invitation is also extended to all the other AFE-ADB Chapters and attendance is encouraged. The cost for the event is $60.00 per person to be made payable and mailed to:
Emma Dumalag
112 Burhans Ave
Yonkers, NY 10701
Also, as in previous years, a souvenir programme will be prepared to showcase the event of the year.
We kindly ask that you let us know if you are planning to attend as soon as possible by emailing: Bess Icasiano icasiano@un.org or Mia Jose josem@un.org. For those former ADB staff members who have not yet joined and would like to be part of this exciting group of colleagues and friends and who would be in New York or New Jersey in October this year, please come as you are all invited.
We look forward to seeing you at the Get-Together of the AFE-ADB NY/NJ Chapter on 22 October 2011 at ROYAL REGENCY HOTEL, 165 Tuckahoe Road, Yonkers, NY 10710 from 6:30 pm to 12 midnight.
