As we look at the world around us where much confusion and conflicts exist, it is easy to forget the true spirit and meaning of Christmas.  To forget God’s love for sending His Son who brought joy, hope and peace.  To forget the spirit of sharing and thanksgiving.
 
Let us give thanks to God for the blessings He has bestowed on our community and in each of our lives.  The blessings of good health, happiness and peace and gifts of fellowship and unity.
 
I extend my sincerest appreciation to all La Salle alumni and to all their loved ones, for your valuable help, generous support and trust.  I also extend my sincerest gratitude to the DLSAA Board of Trustees, officers and staff for their unselfish dedication and commitment.
 
May the spirit of the season renew our commitment to help those who have less, give hope to those in need and work together for a better tomorrow.  May the true spirit and meaning of Christmas remain with us throughout the New Year to spread peace and greater understanding.
 
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and blessed New Year.
 
Juanito B. Gervasio
DLSAA President
