REPORTS OF MEETING: Meeting Place: RIVIERA Date: August 10, 1950 Speaker: Senator Imay Pecson. It was indeed an honor and a privilege to have had Senator Imay Pecson as guest speaker in our meeting of August 10th. The charming senator, whose intellectual pre-eminence is well known. entertained those present with her interesting speech about her trip to the United States as a member of the UNESCO. "When I was elected as the only woman member A the UNESCO," she said, "I was thrilled and proud, not because I thought too highly of myself. but because I represented the Filipino women, and it gave me the opportunity to tell the world of the capability and resourcefulness of the Filipino women in times of emerge., "I am indeed rroud to address such a select group A women like you," she added, "who arc well-to-do, who can afford to be ladies of leisure, but instead. soil your hands planting your backyards, raising money for the poor, planning new projects to better the lives of the less fortunate.. which plainly show you are women of great responsibility, who are aware of the importance of your role in society." Proceeding further. she offered her services to those present, reminding them that she was but 3 public servant. Her humility, sincerity and ea, of manner captured the admiration of her listeners, and gave her speech a certain note of distination. SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT In the Sewing Circle. 1st Rotary Ann: .....indeed aren't we a group of haPPY women?" 2nd Rotary Ann: “.. indeed we are, and the beauty of it is, that we dislike 'petty' gossips...eh?" 3rd Rotary Ann: “Sure, sure, but.. here is a big one....." Mercen: "Nina, may I see your needlework?" "Oh! what a clever design. A poeched egg?" Nina:"er..... it's a sunset....!" ----- AMONGST US GIRLS... CONFIDENTIALLY SPEAKING A husband is like a new car: if you take care of him you won’t have to be getting a new one all the time. When a girl and a fellow kiss and make up, she gets the kiss and he gets the make-up. The marriage vows would be more accurate if the phrase read: “Until debt do us part.” Girls at bridge parties are up to be smarties. The other day one of them said to another: “I wonder what men talk about when there are no ladies present.” “Oh probably the same things we do,” was the reply. Another of the girls piped up and exclaimed: “They ought to be ashamed of themselves.”
