Bullet Points and

Milestone Corner

By Oscar R. Apostol

· Thank you Chit and Vince for your contribution to the Scholarship Funds of $175 dollars.

· The Velascos are back. They played tourists and visited many points of interest while in the Philippines. We should all do that the next time we visit.

· Lenny visited the South and was simply amazed how hospitable and nice the people she met. Free drinks were offered wherever they stopped.

· Chit and Vince went home to attend the graduation of their nephews and nieces. They have supported their schooling all along.

· Nannie’s visit to Roseville was shortened when Tony felt ill due to exhaustion while packing their personal effects to move into their new senior apartment. Tony is doing fine now.

· Lourdes came to Fairfield to attend her older granddaughter’s confirmation. We met with her when we took Emy and Chito to the wine country Napa. Lourd treated us to wonderful two-hour lunch at the Red Lobster. We had fun.

Text Box: Major Scholarship Fund Drive on December 2, 2006 A letter of Agreement was formally signed by Emy Bernardo and Mesing Guinto, president and vice president, respectively of Class ‘55 JASHS Alumni Association, Inc. with the Repertory Philippines Foundation Inc. on April 6, 2005 to sponsor a one night showing of the universally popular SOUND of MUSIC on December 2, 2006 at the Onstage Theater. The Repertory’s Onstage theater is located on Greenbelt I in Makati which holds 800 seats. We are co-sponsoring the show with the Association of Rotary Anns of Pasig which Emy is a director too. Each organization will sell 400 tickets for that evening’s performance. Our share of 400 tickets is a mixture of upper and lower orchestra and balcony. Emy has indicated we would use a single price of P1,000 for all tickets. (worth $20 per person). Emy reports tickets have been printed and ready for distribution. We are urging as many Class ’55 members in the United States to support this scholarship fund drive. We urge members to sponsor a minimum $100 equal to P5,000 (5 tickets) that you can give to relatives or donate to our financially-handicapped members (especially if you’re not planning to attend). A sponsorship of $1,000 is equal to P50,000 pesos or 50 tickets that can be donated. Mini Reunion to be Held in February 2007 The mini reunion of Class ’55 in February 2007 will be the first since our 50th in 2005. At this writing, no definite date or activity has been planned. There will be a pre-show cocktail party for Class ’55 alumni and guests on the evening of Dec. 2, 2006. The Repertory Foundation will provide all publicity consisting of print ads in major metropolitan papers and dailies and distribute posters, streamers and fliers. If you wish to place an ad for you, your family or friends it will be P20,000 or $400. Please send your sponsorship checks to Oscar Apostol in the US and to Emy Bernardo in the Philippines.
