x-------------------------------------------------------------------x
The meeting started at 8:30 P.M.
The gracious host of the batch meeting who provided the cozy venue and sumptuous meal is through the kindness of Commodore Cecil R Chen, who is again given the distinct honor of another promotion and this time he will relocate to NCR – Central Luzon where he will assume the post of District Commander. Go! Go! Chasao! You have done our alma mater and 76’ers proud. Your high school batchmates are very proud and happy on your latest achievement. Congrats and more power!
SALIENT POINTS DISCUSSED AND PROPOSED:

B. It was agreed by the batch that our scheme to encourage good attendance is BRING A CLASSMATE/BATCHMATE approach. This will give a more personalized touch to the event. This is very important to those batch mates who are not that financially blessed or if money is not their problem, are just too shy or ill at ease in attending homecomings. The game plan is to just EXTEND AN INVITATION TO THIS CLASSMATE OR BATCH MATE TO ATTEND THE ALUMNI HOMECOMING ACTIVITIES without mentioning any contribution. It is up to the batch whether collectively or individually to sponsor any financial obligations that will be spent in behalf of this batch mate or classmate. Some of the batch mates from the girl’s high that night immediately gave donation as sinking fund to sponsor a classmate or batch mate for the grand reunion. To name a few are Jane Peñalosa Lim and Edith Borres Cerna. The complete list is with our very energetic Treasurers/Finance Officers as mentioned above.
C. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES FOR THIS THREE (3) DAY AFFAIR are the following:

The time is getting closer to our high school reunion. Let us all give a hand to make this rare occasion a great success.
As you well know, some of us have not seen each other for more than 3 decades, and this Grand Reunion in July will be our rare chance to reconnect, and reminisce the fun and excitement of our high school days.
