Subject: Sr. Cyril here April 8, 2003

Dear Friends,
Sr. Cyril Corpus will meet with us on the evening of Tuesday, April 8, 2003. We will be giving her our contributions for her scholarship fund for
deserving students of St. Paul Medellin, Cebu. . . . . . . . . . . ..

As you know, our goal is to be able to collect no less than  P25,000.00 which is sufficient to support 10 scholars this coming school year. We are very close to reaching our goal. We now have P11,500.00 on hand and an additional P 10,000.00 in pledges. There is a possibility we will be able to collect more than P 25,000.00.

On Tuesday, we hope to be able to discuss with Sr. Cyril the best way to remit to her our collections for her scholarship fund. Meaning, should we give everything we collect every year? Or should we support a maximum of 10 scholars every year and keep the rest of the monies we collect in excess of P25,000.00?

Some of us feel that we should give everything we collect each year, confident that we can duplicate our efforts in the coming years. That means, if we can collect P30,000.00, let's support 12 instead of just 10 students this coming school year.

Some of us, on the other hand, feel that we should commit to support 10 students for four consecutive years until they graduate. To do this, it may be necessary and prudent to keep excess monies to donate the following year.

Let's discuss these two options with Sr. Cyril.

Millie Braganza has, again!, so generously agreed to have her condo be the venue of our reunion with Sr. Cyril. Surely this is most convenient for all and we can now expect a good turnout. As usual, it will be potluck.

SEE you all on Tuesday. Thank you for your generosity. May the Lord
bless us all abundantly.

19 GGs were present tonight at the sumptuous dinner
hosted by Millie in her oh-so-conveniently located pad
in Greenbelt, Makati.They are Cocoi, Marilen, Eca,
Millie, Lahla, Nancy, Chit, Rosa, Oro, Cynthia F,
Mela, Mita,Corrie, Nina,Malou,Erna, Marifaye,Mely and
Helen D. Missed were Carolle, Espie, Angie, Nora,
Nydia and Beth Sison who earlier confirmed but for one
reason or another, failed to make it to our reunion
with Sr. Cyril.

Subject: Donating to Scholarship Fund

The primary reason for our gettogether was to give to
Sr. Cyril our donations for the St. Paul College of
Medellin Scholarship Fund. We gave a total of
P31,650.00 with more to follow because a few of the
girls who had given their pledges earlier were absent
tonight. 
-----------------------------------------------

Subject: Donation Box

As soon as Helen D arrived, Eca approached her with
the donation box.Helen good-naturedly said, "Uy
pakainin ninyo muna ako." At left is Milagros "Mita"
Almeda in one of her rare appearances, seated beside
Bday girl Cynthia. Mita kicked off our collection
drive for the Vigil House with an initial contribution
of P5,000.00. I am challenging the PIGGs of HS65 to
raise at least half a million for the Vigil House from
among ourselves. If we can raise P31,650 in one week,
surely ,we can raise P500,000.00.

Subject: Flord is now with the Lord

At around 3:55 am (EDT) Flord made her final breath and is now with 
God and all His angels. Jojo called me a little while ago to give 
me this very sad news. Everyone in her family was around her. She 
was almost in a coma and could only hear. At the very end she 
stretched her arms up in a welcoming gesture, opened her eyes and 
gave a very big smile .... immediately after as Jojo was holding her 
she passed away. He says she was very, very peaceful and this gave 
the family great relief that she was no longer struggling and very 
much resigned to dying. Her body will be cremated, there will be a 
wake - the service/interment will be on Friday. I will try to see if 
Lena and I can make it.

Flord will always be remembered as a very quiet, fun-loving, very 
faithful friend who I have loved so dearly. I will miss her and 
though she is gone the memory of our friendship will always be there.

Her last legacy to us was her beautiful dance rendition together with 
her husband, Jojo, of our native Pandanggo sa Ilaw. To remember her 
this way is truly fitting for someone who just loved everything - and 
dancing was one of them - and a truly fitting goodbye gift to us, her 
SPCM HS 65 classmates.

Flord, as to we all look up to the heavens .... we love you and 
someday we will all be together up there in the company of the 
greatest Man that walked the earth, our Lord Jesus.

Peace and love to you all....
Mildred
