It was brought to our attention by former chairman, Gary Dickinson and Mr Gary Obie that the boys home, Field Of Dreams, was in need of a commercial grade sewing machine. They had found a good used one for 12,000 pesos and were needing our help in getting the machine. The motion was made and seconded that DAEA would help them to purchase the machine. Gary Dickinson was given the funds and purchased the machine on behalf of the DAEA and submitted an OR for the sewing machine.
During the board meeting for the month of March, held on Tuesday the 9th 4pm. Gary Dickinson and Mr Gary Obie informed us that some Australian missionaries had purchased a used Suzuki PU and donated it to the Field Of Dreams Boys home. The truck seemed to be in good condition, but was needing some new tires. Estimated cost for 4 new tires was 5000 pesos. A motion was made and seconded to buy the needed tires for the boys home. Gary Dickinson, spent several hours looking around Davao for new tires and was able to get a good deal on the needed tires for the pickup truck.
Please submit comments.
Thank you,
Curtis L. Cooper | DAEA Chairman
Good idea to support the charity. Gary is still in there getting things done for the group. Great.
Yes, Gary Dickinson and Gary Obie are both actively trying to help the Field of Dreams boys home. Both guys are donating there time and effort to help.
I would like to thank both of them for there efforts and also all the expats who have helped by donating at the meetings.
April meeting should be a good one. We are planning to have 1-2 guest speakers. Topic will be House insurance and Car Insurance in the Philippines.
I would like to personally invite all expats to join us. If you haven’t been to a meeting for a while, come enjoy and get some free info about Home and Auto Insurance.
