Once again, the JCI Naga Carinosa held their Christmas Bazaar at the Westpark last Dec.19-21, 2008 tagged, “Yule Give Lovin’ While Shoppin” for the benefit of Missionaries of the Poor and Bantay Bata Foundation.

Mike Racal, National Pres. of Junior JCI, JCI Sen. Rikko Evangelista, National Vice President for JCI Bicol and JCI Mem. Leah Andrea S. Soriano, Immediate Past President of JCI Naga Carinosa.

        A splendid evenings were eminent because of JCI Family Day, Drawing Contest for Kids, Christmas Carol Singing Contest, Search for Kid’s Best Xmas Photo Contest, JCI Pa-Raffle, and of course the Clown’s magical presentation and picture taking with Mr. Santa gave a delightful and surprising treat for kids.
