DVD sale...

2007 Hermana, Ms. Perla Villamor- Chapman's giveaway for novena sponsors was a slideshow of pictures from the cruise in the form of a DVD. This photo slideshow was also played for members to watch during the Basaynon Katig-Uban Fiesta 2007. A couple of Basaynons expressed that they wanted a copy.
If you missed it, or would like a copy of the DVD, it is available for you to purchase for $20.00.
If you would like to order, just get in touch with us by emailing us that you are interested in purchasing the DVD and we'll discuss with you the details.
The money from the DVD sales will cover the cost of the materials, postage to send it right at your home, and the remaining money will be donated to a Basaynon cost.
The DVD features video footage from the cruise (Patron 2006), "through the years" pictures of Basaynons in the past and to the present, pictures from the cruise (Patron 2006).

Get in contact with us, and we'll do our best to send it on over to you!

Thank you and support a Basaynon Cause!
