Our last few days in Davao were spent at the Rotary District Convention (DISCON). We had a great time reuniting with all of our new friends! The first night, we (the ladies) participated in a dance presentation with the Tagum North and Tagum Golden LACES clubs. It was really fun. None of us have danced on stage as adults and definitely not in front of 1000 people! The theme of the evening was Grease, so that was also fun getting into character with what we had in our suitcases. Jim by far had the best Grease outfit. The second night was the Governors Ball, so we all dressed up. Jim had a Barong made. A barong is the traditional formal embroidered shirt of the Philippines. Not surprisingly, he could not find one that fit, so he had a beautiful barong tailored. It was also fun getting to meet and get to know the Filipino GSE team that will be in Texas in a few weeks. We are all looking forward to entertaining them in Texas. Besides the DISCON, some of our new friends took us our for some karaoke one night and we went out dancing with 2 of the Filipino GSE team members. We had a great last few days! Thanks everyone!
