Classes of the 70's

I note that there are two groups of 70s - the early 70s (1970-1974) and the latter part of the 70s (1975-1979).

Some of us of the early 70s met yesterday and have been meeting for the last 2 months ( I joined a month ago) and we have agreed to a number of activities.

In essence the group of yesterday (Vitinia Lesuma Chung, Marina Konrote, Claire Petersen, Angeline Petersen, Marselina, Louise Rodan to name a few of the 15) agreed to:

(i) Cruise at $20per person on 26 July [maximum 80] 6-9pm ; to then join the disco being organized by the latter 70s group

(ii) T shirt at $28.50

(iii) Kalavata – printed $12 per metre

(iv) Pot luck lunch contribution for Sunday at $10 pp (Josephine at castle to cater)

(v) $60 pp for the Soirée ticket

(vi) $50 soli towards the $500 – this has been paid

The Alumnae Executive agreed a year ago to `giving to the school’ a full multimedia system for the Hall but did not have the funds of $15,000 for a full system. It has been planned that money from the soirée ticket will see this through as the big gift in the `give back to the school’ theme. I suggest that we also consider keeping some money to complement this should it be needed.

I am informed that another part of the give back to the school is ` a website’ which is being designed to be managed by the School Computing Teacher and the early 70s has agreed to pay the $100 for the domain name.

As the President I ask that you bear in mind a contribution to the operations of the Alumnae. The load has always fallen on the few who willingly join the Executive. Some funds in the kitty to be able to respond to Coca Cola Games requests etc. would be nice! We have audited accounts at each AGM so you are kept informed of how money is spent.

Time is going on and we really need to consolidate what we are all doing. I’m sorry I missed the last meeting (5 attended) but in my load of work missed the email. I’ll come to the next one – promise!

Cheers
Libby
