	Dennis Bookstore St. Mary's School Supplies Mendiola Bridge Mapa High School Shirley's Stand Centro Escolar College of the Holy Spiriit La Consolacion College Oberman Billiard Hall Malacanang Palace SBC Main Building		*D) SBCHS73 Alumni Association, U.S. Chapter* - The desire of the expat community to help in the fund raising efforts is acknowledged. They would want to take a more active role in the affairs of the local Foundation and are in the process of organizing themselves formally. Through the official E-Groups web site at www.egroups.com of San Beda Hi-School ’73, it seems that other e-group members are pointing to Mr. Wigsbert Mendoza as their unofficial representative and president of the U.S. counterpart. We are pleased with the active efforts of the expats and look forward to working as one with the group. *II. NEW BUSINESS MATTERS :* *A. Quorum* - There seems to be difficulty in gathering a quorum as pointed out by the secretary. After deliberating on the matter, possible ways of improving the situation were suggested: ? the corpsec will provide members of the board a copy of the agenda prior to the date of the board meeting to encourage them to attend ? items covered and discussed during a board meeting will be routed to the other board members who were absent during that particular meeting for ratification ? to affirm the commitment of each and every member of the board With regard to the last suggestion, as per Mr. N. Dizon, persons who do not have the time to actively participate as members may opt to resign from the board and as such, the board will have the right to appoint replacements. *B. Pre-Centennial Homecoming Reunion* - A joint RP-US Alumni reunion is in the works for those in the U.S. and Canada who plan to come over for the 2001 SBC Centennial Homecoming. Mr. L. Dionisio suggested and volunteered a venue for the pre-centennial homecoming reunion at the open-air roofed deck of the PBD Bldg. along Roces Ave., Quezon City. Mr. G. Panlilio also volunteered and committed to sponsor and provide food for a hundred heads at the party. It was suggested that invitations to the FREE party to fellow alumnus be given out the soonest. Temporary date of the party was unanimously set before the 17th of February. *C. Ways and Means Committee* – It was reiterated that this committee will coordinate the fund raising efforts of the group. Alternatives to be considered include : ? annual contributions from the local and expat group to fund the scholarship/s ? a large one-time effort to generate enough funds for the scholarship/s ? a combination of the two or something in between There being no further business to discuss, the meeting on motion made and duly seconded was adjourned at 2145H. *Back to home page*

Minutes of the September 28 meeting were read as presented. I. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES : *A. Information Committee -* M. Sanchez has formally accepted Chairmanship of this committee. Antonio M. Pineda, a former board member, has relayed and indicated his interest in helping out M. Sanchez with regard to disseminating information to other members of the alumni. B. SBCHS73AFI Scholarship - It was identified that the main objective of the Scholarship fund was to sponsor a scholar by batch HS’73 as long as foundation funds will allow. Proposals for scholarship selection criteria be done in: 1) individual selection 2) use the facilities of the SBC Alumni Ass. 3) pool our funds along with another batch or batches to jointly support a scholar. C. SBCHS73AFI Fund - 1) Official turnover of the un-audited finances of the foundation has taken place with M. Sanchez presenting and handing over to G. Panlilio (Treasurer) the PDCP passbook and unofficial financial status of the fund. It was agreed that the whole amount of ONE HUNDRED THIRTY ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN PESOS PhP131,237.00 be placed in time-deposit with First E-Bank (former PDCP) at 30 days yielding 13% interest per annum as soon as the former signatories, Messrs. Apacible and Cases, shall have signed the check. 2)The new set of signatories have yet to be formalized by way of a board resolution. The corporate secretary has already sent a draft to Atty. P. Cases but his absence prevented its presentation. 3) Current funds available will be used for funding an educational scholarship. Fund raising activities will be planned to support the attainment of the scholarship foundation’s primary objective. Should efforts prove fruitful, alternative uses of the fund may be discussed if and when already available.
