Yesterday was the USTHS70's Zoom Birthday and Christmas celebration. It was another successful and well-attended event. At one time, we had 63 attendees. We honored 19 birthday celebrants with greetings from their batch mates. For the Christmas celebration, Yolly David-Reyes gave a Christmas message, we played Christmas games, and former New Minstrel Sonny Aquino sang two songs which ended the event on an inspiring and joyful note.

We recorded the event which lasted 2 hours 14 minutes. After cutting out the delays due to technical glitches, the edited event lasts 1 hour 46 minutes. So almost 30 minutes ended up on the cutting floor! If you do not wish to go through the whole thing, here are the time marks for the various parts of the program.
