It’s a homecoming!

It is traditionally referred to as the Coral Anniversary: the 35^th year. Yes, it has been 35 years since we were graduated from the then Jose Abad Santos High School. In celebration, we will hold a Grand Reunion on December 30, 2000 at the old high school grounds in San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines. Maybe not all of us will be there physically; but surely, we will all be there in spirit!

We are celebrating a cause.

At the Reunion, the Class of 1965 will herald the establishment of a foundation for the members of the class and their families. The foundation will provide assistance to members and their families by way of scholarship grants, financial aid, and low-interest loans to help launch a business, repair a home, get medical care, or see a child through college. The organizers of the Reunion are also laying down the groundwork for the Class ’65 Foundation.

Won’t you help us build the Foundation?

We will need all the help we can get to ensure the success of the Foundation. Our goal is to raise enough funds at the onset for a modest start and a sustained growth. In addition to personal pledges from individual members, we are also looking to friends like you for help and support. We are soliciting advertisements for a souvenir program that will come out for the Grand Reunion in December. We also welcome any size cash donation you can make – $5, $10, $20, $100 – so that we can get started and ultimately, have a Foundation that is able to adequately serve the Class of ‘65. If you would like to help us build our Foundation, please complete the enclosed form printed on gold paper and mail it back with your ad or donation.

Thank you for your support and generosity!

Together, we will make a difference in the lives of our less fortunate classmates and their families.

Sincerely,
