Result of April 19th, 2009 Meeting

Here’s a picture of some of the 15 attendees from the meeting held last April 19th, 2009.

Standing from left: Rey Aguirre( Class of 1968), Feliciano J Bundoc(1968), Rosario M San Andres(1983), Josephine B Espiritu(1982), Encarnacion P Castillo(1964), and J C Reyes(1968).

Sitting from left: Clarita A Melebo(1976), Sister Wilma(current SDA Principal), Clara M Morales(1967), and Digna R Rueda(1971).

Attendees not in the picture were: Felix S Navarro(1964), Minerva G Fajardo(1978), Edgardo David(1978), Ma Rebbie R Buendia(1982), and Rachel DJ Fernandez(1983).

The group discussed current issues and challenges facing the Alumni. In particular is the effort of having the group's bylaws(originally drafted by the late Atty. Alto) formalized and the Association officially registered thru Security and Exchange Commissions (SEC).

Current elected officers are challenged and tasked to lead in this effort. Prior to the meeting, Eva from Batch 78 took the initial step by logging into the SEC website and reserved the name “St. Dominic Academy General Alumni Association’.

Also discussed are ways we can improve communications between alumni members, raise public awareness of the Association’s presence, and possible outreach programs for the community.

Ideas and concerns were also raised regarding the annual reunion held every December. Ideally we would want a more structured planning with the Alumni officers overseeing the entire operation making sure it is in line with the traditional event program planning where everyone is a part of and not just the host batches showcasing theirs individually.

Date of next meeting is yet to be determined.

Special thanks to Ms. Encar Castillo for bringing in SEC forms and of course lunch for everyone.
