Reunion Advisory # 6

PARA SA INTIRO:
Ini tabi na projection na hinatag ni panoy about the projected income from the souvenir program, this is based on the premise that all advertising pages will be sold. this could go higher and lower depending on the ad spaces that we solicit so we are encouraging everybody to make the effort to solicit an advertisement.

As the persons in charge of the souvenir program committee, an habol mi lamang is to raise enough money to shoulder the printing cost na lain ta na pagkukuwaon sa bulsa ta or sa pondo san batch. pero kun makakuwa kita additional funds from selling advertising space, why not?

PRICES:
Medyo shocking talaga an prices san premium pages (which is P30,000 on average) kun sa bulsa ta ini pagkukuwaon. pero an target advertiser ta sadi mga companies who can afford to buy it. these are companies who advertise in a 30-second television ad for half a million pesos or for one simple newspaper ad for P200,000 per day.

from experience, pirmi matawad an mga companies, so kaipuhan hataas an una mo na presyo. then it will eventually lower as the negotiations proceed.

as for the other pages, which is priced at P5,000 each, this is also targeted primarily for corporate ads of companies with lower budgets but we know for a fact that many of our classmates abroad and here in manila are willing to donate up to that much or up to $150 for the reunion. so naisip namon na instead of just donating money directly to the reunion fund mas mayad na ini na tagan man sinda sin option to buy an advertising space instead of plainly getting nothing from their donation.

but this is not to discourage everyone from giving to the fund directly. option lang tabi ini. as panoy has pledged, nag-commit siya to buy a full page ad in the souvenir program (P5,000), to buy P10,000 worth of raffle tickets and to donate another P10,000 directly to the fund.

for those who cannot afford to give that much, no pressure please. intiro na contribution san batchmates ta whether big or small, in cash or in kind, will be appreciated and valued. burulig kita, each to our own means and ability, para mairaos ta ini na pag-host sin reunion. i understand na baga an makaaalo kun saday lang an mahahatag compared sa iba, pero lain kita dapat mag-compare. an importante nakahatag kita sin makakaya ta. pasensya na tabi because we need to announce here all the pledges/donations maski saday lang na amount because we need to be transparent. kaipuhan ta magin accountable sa intiro kun diin hali an kuwarta nan kun diin napakadto up to the last centavo.


PRINTING:
As of now, nagcacanvass pa kami ni mon sin printer. once na na-finalize namon kun pira an aabuton sa printing cost, we can probably come up with discounted rates for the members of the batch who would like to buy 1/4 or 1/2 pages. But we will retain the P5,000 price for the full page advertisements.

PLEDGES:

MEL:
thank you so much for the support. aram ko na kakaabot mo lang dida sa canada and you are still adjusting. pero aram ko man na talagang pirmi ka ma-support sa batch projects and activities. i never had doubts about it.

MARISSA:
When you read this email, please refer to my other email which i sent to you privately (subject: pledges naton).

MY PLEDGE: Aside from my commitment for a one full page ad in the souvenir program, mahatag tabi ako sin P5,000 directly to the fund. amo ini an amount na gin-commit ko for the chairs of Bunx before. An sabi ko baga ihatag ko na lang sa batch. Im planning to go home to sorsogon before my maternity leave expires on June 2. pero kun lain ako makauli, I will deposit the money to the batch account around first week of June.

Kun kukulangon an fund ta for the printing cost of the souvenir program, just in case we cannot solicit enough advertisement to raise the cost of printing, willing ako magdonate more just to pursue the project.
