St Francis Golden Anniversary

How fast time flies by! We just had our Kick-off two years ago and now it's almost Oct 4, St Francis Day. This year is the golden anniversary, 50 years of Franciscan presence in Guihulngan. After much hangyu-hangyo, the Alumni Board finally convinced SFC school administration to move the slot for the Alumni Homecoming from September 29 to October 3, 2012. So our program for the Alumni is, Registration in the afternoon of October 3 (we have photobooth available, 3 pictures for P/100), dinner per batch from 7-8 pm at the school grounds. A set of 3 tables and 12 chairs per batch is available at P/900, additional chairs at 50 pesos each. Please reserve seats at Dr Carampatan's store, corner of Villegas and Osmena sts. Again, after much hangyo-hangyo, batches may put up your own tents, but please, please, use white tents para naa tay unity of colors.Bahala na unsay shape, basta puti. (O puti-puti ;) Come early, first come, first use of parking area. No more area, no more parking, ok? For dinner, batches may bring their own food. If you need assistance for food orders, just say so, naay tay daghan taga-Guihulngan ka-orderan. I heard the Commercial Cooking Class of GSSDC-TESDA headed by very able Nino Aranas are taking orders.
