A blessed Christmas and a hopeful New Year to all our clients, to all our cherished partner tour operators and travel agencies, to our trusted suppliers, to our town mates in Barangays Puypuy, Masaya and Tranca, Bay Laguna.From our mom, Monina A. Mercado,  and our brothers and sisters, thank you very much for sticking with us throughout the year.

We've had guests from far away places. Places like Cebu, Tacloban and Naga. But these were bookings for at least two nights, sometimes even for a whole week. For our day trip bookings, most of our guests come from Metro Manila and the Calabarzon area. Companies and schools that are within three hours drive from us.From time to time though,

Forest Club is up and about and should be ready to welcome guests again by 16 July 2010. Save for one poor African Tulip tree that was completely uprooted and several other trees with mangled and broken branches, the Forest Club survived the wrath of Typhoon Basyang. Thanks be to God.

Every organization benefits from team building. It's not true that only large corporations with a lot of employees need team building activities to foster better working relationships among their workers.

Who said accountants and CPAs don't know how to have fun? Well, these two groups of number crunchers certainly proved that stereotype wrong.Over the long Independence Day weekend, two accounting firms held separate team building activities in Forest Club.SVS & Associates held its family day last 13 June 2010.

It was undoubtedly the most organized corporate team building activity we've hosted this year. And we've certainly hosted quite a few in the first six months of 2010.Planet Sports, Inc. held its company summer outing in Forest Club last 4 June 2010. Divided into four teams, the eighty-seven employees from the head office all came prepared.

We'd like to thank the Rotary Club of Makati Paseo de Roxas, led by its president, Josephine KH Yap, for featuring Forest Club in its anniversary travelogue, 20 Family Destinations, 20 Years of Rotarian Service. The Rotary Club visited Forest Club last March 2009. Thanks again, Jo, for including us in your list of "wonderful family destinations this side of the globe." Til your next visit!
