WHO WILL BE MRS. VILLASIS 2010?
Click to enlarge We are still in the 6th month of the year and Mayor Nato has already scouted three candidates for Mrs. Villasis 2010. This only shows Villasinians have trust and confidence in the present administration. They know and see where proceeds of every popularity contest of Villasis town fiestas go. The net proceeds of next year's popularity contest will be for the Phase III Renovation of the Villasis Public Auditorium . Phase I (Roofings) was already implemented and Phase II(Floorings) is now going on and will be ready by December this year.
Villasis Town Fiesta 2010 will surely be a different one because there will be no U.S. candidate this time, who are the perennial winners and besides the Mayor is now on his final term.
Here are the three candidates for Mrs. Villasis 2010.
1. Mrs. Violeta Menor - Paris, France
2. Mrs. Reynalda Lagleva-Ramos - Ontario,Canada
3. Mrs. Nelpha Velasco Vejano - Victoria, Australia
Let us support the candidates and be a part of Villasis Town Fiesta 2010. We all invite you to join us in the celebration of our 2010 Town Fiesta.
