November has had a lot in store for TRS, and the most awaited reopening of Northridge is one of them!

The construction and overall preparations have had its trials, but overall and in the end, it was a success. The team arranged to have a program with a humble reopening ceremony and celebration, and being spearheaded by TRS’ own Teacher Sofie, it was attended by a select important few, specifically all company-owned branch managers, Teacher Sofie’s family, and a couple of long-time family friends.
The ceremony started with prayers and with blessings, and promptly afterwards, the ribbon was cut by Teacher Sofie and her second-born daughter, Jarynne. TRS Northridge Plaza has officially reopened! The short program shortly followed, with Teacher Sofie giving her touching opening remarks.
TRS Northridge was deemed Teacher Sofie’s “first baby”, for it was TRS’ first branch to have opened besides their main. Teacher Ging had entrusted this branch to Teacher Sofie as her first ever branch to handle, and thus deeming it as her “baby”. Teacher Sofie shared that it was a bit unfortunate that TRS Northridge was the first branch to have opened as an expansion, but it was the last to have renovated and reopened amongst all the other branches that did so, during more fortunate times. Nonetheless, she finds that God’s timing is perfect and that this is the best time to open.
She also shared a quick trivia and parallel that 5 and a half years ago, when TRS Northridge first opened, she already had Jada (firstborn) and she was pregnant with Jarynne (second-born) at that time. Now in present time, as she stood before the attendees of TRS Northridge’s reopening, she now had given birth to Jarynne who’s a few years older, whilst being pregnant again, now with their upcoming third child.
TRS Northridge was first managed by Teacher Zara and now currently by Teacher Mary, whom Teacher Sofie both expressed her thanks and appreciation to. A short blessing and gifting from the rest of the managers soon followed, with each of them gifting tokens as important symbols that every establishment would need and be blessed with.
Wacky Shot!
The reopening was then wrapped up nicely in a simple get-together dinner. More power, blessings, and prayers for TRS Northridge!

From opening a couple of franchisees and new branches to expanding some of the branches already established, it’s only natural to have a lot of changes done because of it; one of the biggest change for TRS would be the change of pace. For many years, TRS has remained a more humble number, and it is only now that, number-wise, the company has felt a major difference.

The venue is much known to have quite a number of outdoor activities and attractions (such as rock climbing, zip-line, and canoeing, to name a few), but their signature attraction is their own customized program called the “Amazing Race” that highlights a group activity Mud Slide for a finale! Many different groups coming from various backgrounds flock over to experience this program (be it schools, companies, and others) and it would be great if TRS’s growing community would take part in it, as well.

Penciled in to be held for 1 night and 2 days on October 14 (Sunday) and 15 (Monday), this event garnered a lot of excited and anticipated talk within the company. Surely, majority of TRS couldn’t wait to spend the weekend differently!
