Saipan Fitbeat Lions Club holds Wild West-themed yearend party

Saipan Fitbeat Lions Club held its 2nd Annual Year-End Party with a theme “Saddle Up and Put Your Boots On, Wild Wild West” last Saturday at the Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan.

One of the yearend celebration’s centerpiece events was a dance contest with the Unbreakable Group, led by Maricel Pangelinan and Jhoy Revilla, topping the competition and pocketing $500 cash.

Second place and $300 cash went to Team Unbeatable, led by Edna Aureo and Ayra Anier; while third place was awarded to Team Unstoppable, led by Martina Villas and Crisanta Brien. They took home $200 cash.

The club also chose the Top 5 Most Wanted Wild Wild West participants of the night, based on their costumes and looks, and the winner was Revilla, who received a cash prize and a trophy. Revilla beat out Martina Villas, Daisy Javillonar, Santa Alvarez, and Leonila Mendoza

In the 21-day weight loss challenge, Myrna Manungay took first place with a weight loss of 8.49%, Edna Aureo earned second place with a total weight loss of 8.13%, and Revilla secured third place with a weight loss of 5.65%.

The club also congratulated “Shadowers” who received special awards of appreciation—Revilla (all categories), Trishtonhy Duarte (Zumba kids), John Mark Cadion (all categories), and Rodolfo Irabon (Zumba Gold).

Saipan Fitbeat Lions Club president Michelle Olita wished all club members happy holidays and congratulated all the winners as well as participants of the yearend party’s competitions.
