Anyway, so February 4 came, and it made the May 20 reunion a real deal. We all met at Coffee Bean in Ayala Terraces to come up with a plan.
For easier coordination of polo shirt orders, Lourma yet again conducted an FB poll to get each classmate's order commitments: While Lourma has closed the poll for the polo shirt and tallied the order to 67, classmates who failed to participate in the poll may still put in their orders. Apart from getting people's commitment, a headcount was needed for canvassing purposes. Suppliers usually need a minimum order in order to provide a quotation for printing costs. That done, another poll is being conducted as of writing, to get everyone's preferred time of the event. Seventy-one out of the 115 members of the group had seen the poll, but not everyone had lodged their preferred time yet. Perhaps that's because some of the members are currently out of the country and may not make it to the event. Dang, we sure are a democratic bunch. Haha, I find it endearing that every decision made thus far as regard the reunion event was done through casting of votes. Plus, I found it real weird to be called Louvette again. I'm definitely with the high school bunch as only them calls me by my full name. :)
Another idea that was agreed upon during the first planning session was the amount of the fees. For easier tracking, the base contribution for the shirt and the event itself was pegged as follows:
POLO SHIRT - Php 500 (Deadline: end of February)
MAY 20 EVENT - Php 500 (Deadline: end of March)
For the collection of the above fees, we have decided to open a bank account for the batch. So last February 10, we opened a bank account with Unionbank IT Park.
For everyone's reference, below is the groupings:
Well, that's the update for now, folks. Second planning session is scheduled on March 4, Saturday at 1:30 PM. Core team is encouraged to come for a meeting with Mayor Tisay to check on their resort as possible venue for the reunion. If there'd be a schedule change, everyone will be informed through Facebook.
