Ultimate Goal

The pledge season will NEVER be over until we reach our ultimate goal. I’m still calling all who have not made their pledges to please consider doing so.

Your time is now!

Just because we have already met our target, doesn’t mean pledging should stop?

What you should all realize is that the goal reached so far was just the initial one. Providing scholarship to two souls is NOT the ultimate goal at all. It is only the by-product of the effort to bring us ALL together in unity, in harmony...

...playing good music together...

...in a concert hall,

like a symphony!

Unfortunately, we’re still short on that one...evidently!

Just like I’ve been saying and preaching you all since this scholarship project begun to unfold, all of the money pledged and contributed will ONLY be used for this specific project. Let me make it clear to all that any unused money will either be returned to the contributor or put somewhere else depending on what will be agreed upon by all who put their money on it. Rest assured that your pledge and support, financial or otherwise, will not be for naught.

I said it once and I’ll say it again,

Every pledge count, every peso counts.

We would rather have A MILLION OF US donating one peso each, than have a handful giving big amounts. That means a million of us are getting involved. Not just a few.

Moving forward 5 years or so from now after our scholars get their high school diploma; I would like to see them continue to pursue their quest for knowledge at the college level under our guided wings, still financially supporting them until the day they become real professional in their field of studies and ready to face that tough world out there with full confidence and maturity, determined to make something of what WE, in all unity, opened the door for them...and offered them, unselfishly.

Now, that’s the ultimate goal!

Revised: Night High School Scholarship Guidelines

I made some revisions to the initial draft posted here.

Revisions were made in particular to Section III - Funding and Coverage and Section VIII - Administrative.

Please review and let me know if you have any concerns, questions, comments, and/or suggestions. Our new email address is sdabatch78 at yahoo.com

Results of June 28th Meeting

Last meeting resulted in more of your classmates pledging to the proposed scholarship project. Pledge forms were distributed during the meeting, filled out and submitted.

In addition, attendees unanimously agreed in principle to the mandatory annual membership fee of Php100 for classmates residing locally and $50 for those living/working abroad. Eva F will draft the Board Resolution to make it official, unless any of you has any objection.

During the meeting, Eva briefly summarized the result of the general Alumni meeting held last June 21st @ SDA. Out of the 20 ticket booklets we as a batch were assigned to, 8 of your classmates bought one booklet costing Php200 each. These are tickets being sold to help generate funds for next year’s town fiesta.

In all, it was a very productive and fun meeting with most attendees seemingly comfortable with themselves as they openly share their thoughts and ideas; something I've always encourage everyone to do.

Present in the meeting were the following peeps: Noel N, Boy B, Ariel D, Bert R, Alex R, Emy G, Vic C, Al T, Wena C, and Eva F. Pics will follow!

Next meeting is tentatively scheduled on July 19th @ Eva’s place.

Refillable Voluntary Pledge Form

It came to my attention that some of you are having trouble printing and then submitting the completed voluntary pledge form for the night high school scholarship project proposal.

To make it easier, I re-designed the form allowing you to fill in the information directly using your computer, thus eliminating the need to print and/or scan it prior to submission.

Here are the simple steps you should follow to submit your voluntary pledge form via email:

1) Save the re-designed PDF file (emailed to you) onto your local hard drive.

2) Open the saved PDF file using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader** and start typing in the information needed in the space provided.

**Note: You need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to fill out the form. Please click here to download the latest free version.

3) Save the completed form.

4) Email the completed form to ediboyd@yahoo.com OR egfajardo61@yahoo.com

Once again, thanks to all who have already submitted their forms. For those who have not made their pledges yet, please consider doing so.

The more pledges we receive the closer we get for this proposed project to come into fruition.
