***NOTE: PK Rejoice suggested (thru Cbox last March 1st) to alter the FINAL DATE (December `21-23, 2009) so we could align the scehdule with the national G12 Annual Conference. Assuming that the said conference takes place on the same month, we might consider dragging our PK Gathering’s schedule right next or before it. However, the date of the conference is still tentative but we should consider it so we could hit two birds (G12 Conference and PK Gathering) in one stone. We can discuss this matter next meeting. Please leave your comments/insights.
