Montero Medical Missions' Memorable Magical Month

The month of October, 2012 will be remembered as ultimate reflection of the Montero Medical Missions' MMM initials. It stands for a Memorable Magical Month. Here are three reasons why:

On October 8, 2012, we received our IRS 501[c][3] tax-exempt status--quite an achievement for a 15-month old, predominantly international humanitarian organization. We have already been to three countries: Philippines, Ghana, Peru and created MMM EyeSight 20/20 project in Surigao del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines.

On October 19, 2012, we had a very successful Montero Medical Missions Reception with H.E. Ambassador Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. at the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C. Quite a treat at that level for a start-up organization.

On October 27, 2012, the MMM Health Fair for Veterans finally had its inaugural event at the Lifestyle Center of the Chesapeake Regional Medical Center. It was a resounding success in all aspects. This domestic on-going, voluntary revolutionary project to assist our veterans in their healthcare needs will resume in January, 2013 and probably monthly thereafter.

With the holidays just around the corner, MMM looks forward to a Christmas fundraiser to be hosted by Earl and Pau Virts at their gorgeous Helping Your Loved Ones assisted living facility in Chesapeake. What a way to cap an event-studded year.
