MINUTES OF THE MEETING
THS Batch ’78
July 19, 2002

Agenda: To discuss updates on the proposed projects for the Silver Grand Alumni Homecoming for THS Batch ’78

The meeting started at around 6:30 p.m. on July 19, 2002, attended by the following:

Leah Espino-Ponio, Evelyn Alcaraz-Muallil, Fenchie Eugenio-Cajiuat, Ching Cabildo-Albornoz, Beng Ceña, Nelson Ceña, Edmon Liao, Rey Medenilla, yours truly and Edna Adriano-Gilera

at Leah’s new office located at the 9th Floor, Philamlife Bldg., #126 L.P. Leviste St., Salcedo Village, Makati City.

First to discuss was Edna Adriano-Gilera on the proposed Side A Band concert to be held sometime March 2003.  Tickets were initially valued at P2,000.00 ea. (with free dinner), P1,000.00 ea. And P750.00 ea.  Rental for the proposed venue (Music Museum) is pegged at P55,000.00/night.  She further reported that she was able to call the manager of Side A Band, unfortunately, he’s still out of the country and is expected to arrive next week.  A personal visit to Suburbia where Side A Band regularly sings, was also planned to personally talk to Joey G and the Manager on July 22, 2002.  Tentative concert tandem of Side A Band and Ai-Ai delas Alas was also proposed.  Edna promised to give us updates after the said meeting.

Dra. Ching Cabildo-Albornoz presided the discussion about the proposed Bingo Sosyal to be held this coming December 2002, proceeds of which will go to the church, THS and the batch.  The money that will go the batch will then be used as initial funds to finance the operating expenses for the scheduled activities.

Initially, it was proposed that each ticket will be priced at P50.00.  However, a suggestion that a ticket be priced at P100.00 with free juice and a sandwich, instead.  The group found this more appealing.  Each ticket, according to Ching entitles the bearer for eight (8) games.  Proposed prizes were:  two (2) P2,000.00s, three (3) P3,000.00s, two (2) P5,000.00s and the grand prize would be P20,000.00.

Beng Ceña also suggested to have some raffling of  tickets. 

It was also tackled during the meeting to nominate partners for the Publicity Committee.  Some of the attendees on this meeting said that this committee should now be working on the memorabilias, write-ups, etc.

Proposed schedule of activities:

Grand Silver Alumni Homecoming – Oct. 25, 2002, Nov. 29, 2002 or Nov. 22, 2002 (final decision will come from the Toronto people c/o Fenchie).

Family Day – A week before or after the Grand Silver Alumni Homecoming

Medical Mission - April 2003 (should be a Sunday)

Discussed also were the proposed student concerts at THS (c/o Malou Santos), official t-shirt for all the members of the batch (c/o Ching) and registration centers to be more accessible to some members of the batch as follows:  Office of Father Erick (Sto. Niño Parish Church), THS (c/o the Alumni Coordinator), Makati (c/o Perlie Gonzales and Leah Ponio) and Edna’s place (TBA).

As there is nothing more to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m.  Snacks were served.
