REUNION DATE MOVED TO DEC 19 AND OTHER UPDATES
We will be MOVING the date of the reunion to DECEMBER 19 instead of the DECEMBER 12 which has been previously agreed upon. This development came upon ocular inspection of the venue in New Manila, with the owners saying someone else already got the Dec 12 sched. So we will be moving the event a week later.
Batch mates, baka naman meron sa inyo pwede mag-volunteer for any of the materials needed for the event. We really NEED your help. Paki-fill in na lang yung mga fields or pledge by posting feedbacks on this. Not to mention your MONETARY CONTRIBUTIONS (as for the BATCH MATES LIVING ABROAD). By the end of the month all the materials needed SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE already for the month-end meeting. More to come.
Salamat.
