An Invitation to All UPLB Graduates
in the USA and Canada
Greetings to you all!
It
is a great pleasure for us to announce that we have organized
the University of the Philippines
- Los Baños Alumni Association of America
(UPLBAA-America) on October 5, 1996 in San Francisco,
California.
The
Objectives of UPLBAA-America are:
-
To bring together all UPLB alumni in the USA and Canada
in order to promote active exchange of ideas and camaraderie.
-
To welcome newly-arrived UPLB alumni in the USA and Canada.
-
To create programs that are of mutual benefit to the members
of the association.
-
To provide an organized system of assisting the University
of the Philippines - Los Baños accomplish its missions
as an outstanding academic institution.
-
To encourage and assist in the formation of UPLB alumni
chapters in areas, cities or regions in the USA and Canada,
where a large number of UPLB alumni reside.
-
To establish a UPLBAA-America Endowment Fund to support
projects of the association at UPLB and in communities in
the USA and Canada, where UPLB alumni chapters exist.
-
To sponsor scholarships and other projects which shall be
open to all qualified applicants in the community.
UPLBAA-America
membership is open to all UPLB graduates residing in the USA
and Canada. There are two general types of membership, namely:
Regular and Lifetime. Regular members pay twenty
dollars a year and Lifetime members make a one time payment
of one hundred and twenty dollars.
We
strongly recommend a Lifetime membership. UPLBAA-America Lifetime
members will receive the following benefits:
- A
beautiful Lifetime membership plaque with the UPLBAA-America
logo on it.
- A
Lifetime membership card which will entitle the bearer emergency
medical treatment at the UPLB Health Service (Formerly Infirmary)
and other benefits if needed, while visiting the UPLB Campus.
- Names
of Lifetime members will be proudly displayed on a plate
mounted on the wall space reserved for the purpose at the
UPLB Alumni Center.
- Available
previous copies of UPLBAA-America souvenir programs.
- A
peace of mind of having not to worry to pay the annual membership
fee.
- Lifetime
members give everlasting financial support to UPLB because
the Lifetime membership fee will be used to grow a UPLBAA-America
Endowment Fund, the proceeds from which will be used in
turn to help our beloved alma mater modernize our lecture
halls, laboratories, provide scholarships and help improve
the academic environment of the UPLB campus, something that
will make all of us even be more proud of being UPLB alumni.
- Like
a stockholder, Lifetime members will receive a statement
of the status of the Endowment Fund and all its related
projects each year.
Fellow
UPLB graduates, our alma mater greatly helped us all before,
so now let us look back and say UPLB, thank you for all your
help. How can we be of help to you in return? Our beloved
UPLB lovingly and willingly prepared and gave us all the tools
and passports to where, who and how we are today. Our alma
mater does not deserve any form of unconcern or indifference
from any of its alumni. In line with the famous statement
of the late President Kennedy, "Ask not, what UPLB can
do for you, but what you can do for UPLB".
UPLBAA-America's
mission is to be of help to its members and UPLB. Fellow UPLB
alumni, please join our crusade to help UPLB in any way we
can. Joining UPLBAA-America means "a tradition of gratitude,
loyalty and giving, for a heritage of honorable service and
academic excellence of our beloved alma mater".
UPLBAA-America
has great and noble plans for its members and UPLB. Please
help us translate our ideas and plans into fulfillment, our
words into actions or deeds, and into tangible, concrete and
sustainable results. We can be all proud of it, because these
are for all of us.
We
need your help. Please be a Lifetime member of UPLBAA-America,
and help us encourage any UPLB Alumni you know to be a Lifetime
member too. It will be the greatest and most productive and
lasting decision of your life.
Thank
you for your very positive response. Let us all keep the famous
UP Los Banos Spirit be ever burning. Mabuhay and God Bless
UPLB and UPLBAA-America!

Executive Committee,
UPLBAA-America
