Status Report on the Golden Jubilee Activities

Buenas dias, mis amigos!

The GJC (Golden Jubilee Committee) had its scheduled meeting during the Kapihan last Wednesday. The GJC is glad to report to you that the programs are now on stream and are in the process of being firmed up.

As you know, our GJ activities will be held over two periods of time. The first period will be from April,2012 to February 15, 2013. This will be called the Pre-Homecoming Months period. The other period is from Feb. 22, 2013 to March, 2013. This will be called the Homecoming Week Period.

The Pre-Homecoming Months have activities lined up for it. After the Taal-Excursion activity last June, the next gig for Batch63 is the SportsDay activity scheduled for August 19, Sunday.

As of today, 10 people have signed up for the SportsDay excursion. The lead person for the SportsDay event is Joey Estagle. He will be advising soon about the details of the excursion. The venue is just in Metro Manila and has a shooting range, sports courts, bar and resto (with musical instruments we can use), function rooms, and a theater-type room where Batch63 can hold a plenary meet and practice the anthem songs for the Homecoming presentation. Do join and help the cause for a better Golden Jubilee experience.

Other activities being mulled for the Pre-Homecoming period are: a golf fund raising tournament (in October); and an excursion to Nasugbu (maybe in November after the rainy season. Mari Duarte is the lead person looking at the viability of these activities.

Suggestions for other activities during the periods are welcome. Anyone can volunteer to help organize activities where the GJC will only be too willing to facilitate and assist in the work. We are still sourcing a volunteer to take care of the Despedida affair to be held right after the Homecoming presentation on March 2, 2013. We need a venue (it can be a private house) to hold this post-homecoming event.

Hasta la proxima vez y ANIMO!
