Hi everybody,
I just want to bring up the topic regarding the funds we need for our reunion. Last night I was able to join Alma, Olga & Stella having a conference about how much are we going to contribute or should someone pledge for certain amount.
For me, before we are going to agree as to how much one could contribute, we must agree first that this funds we are going to raise is not a payment/ head for our reunion, kung baga parang sinking fund for our batch. The pledges or donations will serve as an investment without returns. We need to have this money as a start-up so that we can move and go forward with our plans. Dinhi kuha-on sa funds kung unsay atong bayranan or gastohanan for the preparations
Once everything is set & done, we can now compute kung pila per head and put then back to our funds.
Hi Beth,
Thank you for the update. Have you heard from the other hotels yet? The reunion date is July 1-3 2011. This will allow plenty of time for preparation and saving enough funds for travel and stay. In addition, this is the only time that the kids are out of school for more than 2 weeks (here in the USA). This falls on a weekend to accommodate the school schedule of the PI kids. Let's hope and pray for a better weather in Cebu.
The ballroom may be scheduled on July 1st or 2nd. We have 12 months to prepare and make adjustment. I hope your are able to get a guesstimate from the hotel representative of how much upfront money they need from us to reserve the room. It looks like we need to finalize the list of who are actually attending to give you an idea of how big the ballroom is going to be.
Everyone, please visit our UC reunion website and plug in everyone's names who are attending the reunion. I will give the budget committee the summary print out of this list. We need this list for multiple reasons. You may bring friends and relatives with you. The final count deadline needs to be established no later than 6 months prior to the actual reunion date.
Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Nerie
