* Rev. Joel also reported that he received some amount as gift from friends and alumni during his recent trip to the USA and Canada and he added it to his scholarship project.

*Also, Rev. Castillo  informed us that the alumni in North America are interested in joining us in the celebration of the Golden Anniversary in 2015 but they are more available during February instead of December. Because of this proposal, the group considered that the Alumni Day during the Golden Foundation Day in  February 2015 be utilized. This means that it will be a mini-alumni homecoming intended for Alumni abroad but can be attended by everyone. This idea looks promising and it was suggested that it will be included in the agenda  during our next meeting. So we are looking forward of 2 homecomings

* Th e next meeting in this series will be on November 18. We will be finalizing the activities for the Balik SAA 2012. For those  coordinators (those who were always invited but has not yet attended the meetings too), please attend.
