LW Birthday

Reddy Deguzman from Mutual 1 is the only daughter of a U.S. Army officer who died during the World War II.

She celebrated her 85th birthday on June 4 in Clubhouse 1 with her family, friends, classmates from the Philippines, close friends from her church and two priests from Holy Family Catholic Church in Leisure World, Rev. Father Jim and Rev. Father Juan.

Everybody enjoyed dancing to the music by the Midnight Motion Band and seven dance instructors hired by Col. Romy Deguzman, Reddy’s husband. All of the food was delicious.

Members of the Filipino Association of Leisure World with President Ren Villanueva and his wife, Myhrra, were present as was Anna Derby, the president of the Golden Age Foundation. Reedy also performed the traditional dance of her country, where she was able to collect about $2,000 to donate to Holy Family Catholic Church and to the Sto Nino de Tacloban (Holy Infant Jesus).
