Hurray for our first official meeting!

Venue: Chocolatier, Jupiter Street, Makati
Date: March 2, 2019, 9am-12nn
Participants:
Marga Santero, Isabel de Dios, Dominique Olbes, Frances Fuentes, Yumi Villanueva, Chiqui Kalaw, Ria Salvana, Rheena Radan, Drea Zulueta, Miselle Penalosa, Pia Arcangel, Cathy Cantada, Camille Bautista

Objectives:
1. Explain the purpose of raising the P4M target
2. Principles – state the core values and batch identity anchored on AC to be used as guiding principles for decision making and activities
3. Finalizing AC tag line for batch activities
4. Action Plan – Identify current pool of volunteers, divide necessary committees
5. Check-in dates, identify calendar for updating and creating milestones.

Then we talked about appointing Key Officers and Committees:
Batch Representative – Pia Arcangel
Secretary – Drea Zulueta
Treasurer – Isabel de Dios
Project Manager Heads – Marga Santero and Frances Fuentes

We also named key people who have signified their interest in heading different projects:

Merchandise:
1. Cathy Cantada / Dom Olbes
2. Rissa Artadi
3. Vanessa Mendoza

Social Events:
1. Yumi Villanueva / Ria Salvaña
2. Rheena Radan
3. Chiqui Kalaw

Fundraising Events
1. Camille Abello – art event
2. Grace Barbers / Miselle Penalosa – a talk
3. Cathy Cantada / Isabel de Dios – cycling
4. Kaye Cariño – art event
5. Chinkee Clemente – food event
6. Maureen Disini - hopefully a fashion event?

From there, Miselle asked us to look at the yearbook and to think about our favorite memories from the four years of high school.

And then the feelings related to them. She arranged it and from there we were asked to come up with one word per category.

This is how we came up with the tagline Empowered by AC. Unity. Camaraderie. Simplicity.

Because we have a new tagline with a different feel, we need to revamp the existing options given by Maia Yambao. Cathy and Drea will ask their husbands to give it a go. This is pending.

For the second quarter we are targeting the following activities:
1. Garage Sale (Fundraising)
2. Electric Studio Ride (Fundraising)
3. Bisita Iglesia (Socials)

Stay tuned!

What is the Assumption Velada?

Sun, 30 Dec 2018 02:36:47 GMT

Old Girls' Day - third Sunday of October
On the third Sunday of October, Assumption San Lorenzo has its homecoming which is fondly referred to as Old Girls' Day. On that day, there is a mass at 9am followed by a lunch and at 3pm there is the Velada in the Mother Rose Auditorium (formerly Hall). The Velada or "soiree" is a program that is hosted by the silver jubilarians, the ones celebrating 25 years after high school.

The Silver Jubilarians (25 years) are the main hosts together with the Gold Jubilarians (50 years). Over the years, the former silver jubilarians have enjoyed the velada so much that they started wanting to perform sooner than their golden year, so now there's Pearl (30), Jade (35), Ruby (40), Sapphire (45), Emerald (55), Blue Diamond (65), Platinum (70). It's cute to see all the titas and lolas attend in their plaid uniforms complete with ankle socks and leather black flats. (Ehm, no worries if you can't find or fit into your old uniforms, everyone has theirs made again anyway.)

Because the show has gotten bigger every year and the Mother Rose Auditorium is too small to accommodate everyone, they actually put on an additional show - a family show on the Saturday at 5pm. This is the show without speeches or awards and also the very old batches are not required to attend so it's a much faster program. There is also a dress rehearsal on that Friday which is a whole run through of the program with blocking.

The Silver Jubilarians Commitment
As Silver Jubilarians, we are responsible for paying for the whole show plus a donation on the following year. So if our velada is on 2021, we are expected to give a donation of at least 1M on 2022 to the AAA which gets distributed to the mission schools.

We as Silver Jubilarians have to pay for the whole show - director, stage (LED), and for our own batch - choreographer, costumes, hair and makeup, practice venues, food during practice. During our initial meetings however, we hope that if we pool our resources we can come up with an amount that's much less, as we do feel that the money might be better used for the mission schools instead.

*UPDATE (As of October 2020, our 2021 velada will be online which means that the costs will of course go way, way down).

I can't dance.
Neither can we, but the fun part of the velada usually comes in the preparation and practices which is quite often leading up to the big day. There are usually four numbers by the silver jubilarians 8 minutes each number. Theres an opening and closing number, a song number that honors those that have gone before us, and some other number that usually describes the batch during that time. We can have less if the batch decides it.

I can dance but I think its baduy.
We will try our best to not be baduy but at least we can aim to not be so baduy together? As in previous years, the people who did not dance have so much regret because it's actually a lot of fun. Don't mind being baduy, we can all stay in the back. Also, our batch will have baduy police to X the baduy.

Okay game, where do I sign up?
We will be posting notices for meetings on fb soon. Thank you for joining, the more the merrier.
