We have already ordered the t shirts based on the sizes furnished by Lucille. As agreed the color is red with the embroidered Batch 63 logo on the left breast. Only Karias has submitted the idea for the logo which was essentially derived from the original JRI logo but with the numerals 63 on the open pages of the book.This design was also approved during the last meeting on 12Dec. I have given the design to the supplier. Each t shirt costs P300 each and we have ordered a total of 60 pcs. We have also given an advance payment of P9,000.00( 50%). I have managed to coax P4,000 from our treasurer as our funds are depleted and this is her total collections lately. I just added P5,000 temporarily to be able to meet the required 50%.

The reunion is fast approaching and with the early arrival of Pres. Mike, we can have a final meeting before that. I am appealing to everybody to give their dues to our treasurer s we have a lot of payments due. Maybe we can make the rounds when Pres. Mike arrives. However, Christmas is just around the corner and I would like to greet all batchmates a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you all next year. Rolly

On the contrary - with apologies to the author of the birthday poem

It's birthday time again;
Another year has gone by,
"WE'RE OLDER THAN WE USED TO BE,
THE THOUGHT SHOULD EXHILERATE YOU AND ME."


"GETTING OLDER IS SO MUCH FUN,
DESPITE THE PAIN IN OUR BACK,
IT'S OKAY TO JUST WALK AND NOT RUN,"
And a pleasure to lie in the sack.


"YES, GETTING OLDER IS QUITE EXCITING,
AND GETTING OLD IS SUCH A BLESSING,"
So 'Happy Birthday', let's shout once more,
Hooray for getting older,
Happy Birthday, and many more!


Thanks so much, my friend(Luz) for the birthday poem, and Nel for the birthday greetings.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all the December-born Batchmates! We're still alive and kicking- isn't it a reason to celebrate? Let's thank HIM for the gift of life!

Over The Hill Birthday

It’s birthday time again;
Another year has gone by.
You’re older than you used to be;
The thought could make you cry.

For getting older is not such fun,
When there’s hurting in your back,
And it’s agony if you have to run,
And a pleasure to lie in the sack.

Yes getting older is quite a bore,
But to not get old is worse.
So "Happy Birthday!" let’s shout once more,
Hooray for getting older!
Happy Birthday and many more.
