I started the meeting at exactly 7:00 in the evening, by informing everybody that Ms. Christine Maano has just got married last December 27, 2008, and she is now Mrs. Castillo, I mean, Dra. Castillo.

I recapped the minutes of last year’s series of meetings and the status of our preparation.

The highlights of the meeting are as follows:


1. FINAL DATE OF THE REUNION
Napag kasunduan na December na ang Reunion, (the exact date is still to be determined) considering our status, we have a lot of things to prepare, so at least we have the whole year of preparation, but we will still push through with the original plan of having a simple “Get –Together” on May for those who are coming on May, exact date is also to be determined.

2. VENUE
There are two options, one, yung sa Gulang Gulang sa Andaman Village, ALNORESTOS FAMILY RESORT , isa syang compound, andun na ang open air na Function Hall pero covered, Swimming Pool, Cottages and the whole place is big enough for families to enjoy and for the kids to enjoy, the last time na makausap ko yung may ari ang cost ng renta ay umaaabot ng 10T for an exclusive. There is another one, at Siudad Maharlika, M-ZCRISTIN Family Resort. Ganun din isang compound sya merong function Hall na open air pero covered, swimming pool and playground, ang maganda lang meron syang Rooms for freshing up and kung gusto rin matulog. Medyo mas mura sya, kasi hindi naman sya sing ganda nung isa pero ok naman, di naman panget. I still have to inquire about the rate.

3. THEME / COLOR AND SLOGAN / T-SHIRTS
We decided na ituloy ang dating design tulad nung 10th year natin, babaguhin lang ng konte para I update, I’d would like to retain the slogan and the theme, para long time na yun ang gagamitin na natin, I’d like to commend who thought of it, very clever, “BATCH EYTI-NAYN – STILL MAGNIPISENT AND BERI PAYN!”, the group decided na Orange na rin ang Shirt natin na may Black Font, kung kaya ng budget Polo Shirt sana.

4. CONTRIBUTION
The contribution still pegged at P1,000.00, anytime pwede ng magbigay kahit staggered, but understandably, mukhang mabigat dun sa iba, ok lang naman kung P500 lang ang kaya para sa talagang di kalakihan sweldo, at para naman dun sa talagang walang wala, OK pa rin, -“BASTA KUNG ANONG MERON PAGSASALUHAN” kaya we appeal to those who are a little financially blessed tulungan na lang natin yung ibang ka-batch natin. Sino nga pala maniningil sa mga nasa abroad.

5. PROJECTS
( These are just ideas, we still have to sit down and discuss the details and its possibilities, and I still need the consensus of the committee, please feel free to give your comments and suggestions or any other ideas, lahat welcome.)

Tuloy pa rin ang original natin na plan “ADOPT-A-ROOM”
But here are some suggestions na activity / project na pwede nating gawin habang nagpe-prepare tayo,

5.a Campus Visit – let us schedule one day na bibisita tayo sa QNHS bibisita tayo sa mga titser natin, magparamdam tayo sa kanila, tell them na we are celebrating our 20th year, maybe we can get some ideas, na makakatulong sa preparation natin
5.b Service Mission –isang araw ng service mission, it’s like medical mission, but konti lang ang doctors natin, so I am thinking of different services, , FREE Legal Consultation, para sa mga lawyer nating batch, Dental clinic, sa mga Dentist nating ka-batch, gaya ni Mabel Ilagan, pwedeng mag booth siya ng PLDT nila, ang mga nasa banko, pwedeng mag Sales Blitz, at kung ano ano pa, which will also serve as promotion of their services. Pwedeng i-tie –up kung kanino man.
5.c Fund Raising – Since kelangan talaga nating makalikom ng pera, aside from Solicitaion Sponsorship, napag kasunduan na mag fund raising and here are the suggestions:
5.c.1 BALLROOM PARTY – the usual ballroom party magtiticket selling tayo isa ito sa mga low cost na event.
5.c.2 VARIETY SHOW- eh diba marami naman sa ating talented, parang show ng batch natin, isa lang ito sa mga nag come up na idea during the meeting.
5.c.3 STAGE PLAY – at eto din we can get a stage play from manila na merong educational vaues or historical then tie up sa Dep-Ed para somehow compulsary ang ticket
5.c.4 GARAGE SALE – Ukay ukay
5.c.5 VIDEO BANK- mag reregister tayo under one account as a member, then mag dedeposit tayo ng mga DVD na meron tayo, at everytime na may mag rent nung DVD natin 50/50 tayo ng video bank, ( Raymond Alpay's suggestions)

5.d Provident or Trust Fund – eto yung noon ko pa na sinasabi, gusto ko sanang magkaroon tayo ng continuous fund habang buhay na, para if ever may mangailangan, magkasakit o may namatay na ka batch natin, may makukunan, pwedeng donasyon o credit, kung paano man, basta yung ang thrust nung fund or at at least meron tayong fund para sa mga susunod nating reunion, at talagang dapat meron tayong continuous na fund kasi may inaalagaan tayong room, yung adopted natin na room.
