At our picnic meeting (Sunday 8/10/2008) we have decided to continue our reunion tradition in San Jose area in Northern California. Diep Chean and Uch Perom will host the RU20012..
Former
Khmer Navy Funeral Wreath Fund
August 3rd, 2006.
Reference: Floral arrangement (funeral wreath)
for a funeral of a former Khmer Navy personnel and immediate family
(nationwide).
As we all had been aware that shortly after RU2000, a lot of former
Khmer Navy personnel in southern California had unanimously adopted to
create a group called "Khmer Navy Personnel and Families Group of
Southern California - KNF group of So. CAL", headed by one of our
ex-senior officers - Mr Khuon Vandy. In an effort to strengthen our
relationship, the group had decided to promote a culture to communicate
and share the last moment of grief and sadness among ourselves.
Whenever there is a death of either a former Khmer Navy personnel, or
spouse, or parents and parents-in-law, or children, the news will be
communicated and disseminated to all former Khmer Navy personnel
electronically and by mail. A floral arrangement (funeral wreath)
bearing the logo "Former Khmer Navy" or the like would be
presented at the funeral to express our deepest sympathy and condolences
and to share the moment of grief and sadness with the family of the
decease. If possible, a speech will be given by a former Khmer Navy
personnel representative.
This culture, initially contained in southern California only, has, so
far,
benefited us all very well as a whole. On May 28th, 2006, this wonderful
culture was adopted to spread not just through out California, but,
nationwide as well. To sustain and preserve this wonderful culture among
ourselves, the KNF group would like to solicit your strong support and
involvement by initially sponsoring a one-time seed fund solely for this
purpose (a minimum of $50.00). The group will try to find ways to
replenish the fund in the future. Two treasurers - Mr. Peter Kuoch and
Mr. Kirirath Mam, will be handling this fund. An updated list of
sponsors/donors and a semi-annual fund activities report
(expense/income) will be disseminated within the group. Please bear in
mind that this culture will benefit us all as a whole and not
individually. It will not survive without your strong support and
involvement. Please help preserve this wonderful culture by sending your
donation/contribution to:
Peter Kuoch - 2800 Water Course Drive, Diamond Bar, CA
91765
(Please note that any personal donation, directly made to the family of
the
decease during a funeral, will not be constituted as part of this
funeral
wreath donation.)
For your information, this culture has entered its fifth year, now, and
has
well served its purposes. We hope to further strengthen and harden our
bond by spreading this wonderful culture nationwide. We sincerely
welcome all forms of suggestions and comments to make this culture
prevail among our former Khmer Navy group. Please, do not hesitate to
let them be heard.
Sincerely Yours.
Khuon Vandy.
KNF Group of So. CAL.
