B. Venue for the March 7 Gala Night tentatively set at the ASJ Auditorium which is deemed bigger that the Claveria   

     Gymnasium although it is not fully covered and there may be issues if it rains on that night. New tables and chairs  

     arrangement may improve the space availability of the venue.

       C. Update on the Fundraising total given. New contributions received.

1. Updates reviewed 

A. All letters of invitation sent to all batchmates. Minimal feedback received. Batchmates in contact have verbally  

      signified their attendance. 

B. A follow up letter will be sent to all batchmates in 2 months' time. Confirmation or declination of attendance will   

     be included in the letter.

E. Batch 2001 Silver Jubilarians have forwarded to the ASJ Director their planned Program of Activies for the March 5- 

     7, 2026 ASJ Reunion. A meeting with the Director is scheduled for Thursday June 3, 2025. Class of 1976 members 

     Cora Estorquia, Melody Corpuz-Mabanag and Marvin Velasquez will join the meeting.

F. It was stressed that the Golden Jubilarians very much prefer to hold the March 7 Gala Night Program in the 

    Claveria Gymnasium because this venue can accommodate the expected number of  guests with room to spare. 

    This venue is not only bigger. It is also more comfortable, air conditioned and well covered. The ASJ Auditorium is a 

    much smaller venue and not well covered. Previous reunion programs in here have always been very crowded and 

   uncomfortable. The Class of 1976 are volunteering to shoulder the cost of venue for this program.
