Progress Report on Gathering : 11-Sep

I have updated and reproduced the e-mail of 6 September 2007 for our benefit :

FUNCTION DETAILS :-

Date : 27 October, 2007 (Saturday)
Venue : Chestnut Drive School Canteen (TOP PRIORITY)

I spoke with Lee Han Kiat (Snr teacher) and should confirm the use of the school canteen instead of the hall (which is being used for the O-levels).

I will meet with Han Kiat on Wednesday 12.Sept.2007 to tie this up! If this fails (which I very much doubt), then you would have to vote for an alternative venue (see right-side).

Cost : S$ 30 per person (teachers and children no charge)
Time of function : 6 pm onwards

FUNCTION SUB-COMMITTEE :-

Can the arrowed "volunteers" (highlighted in RED print below) please confirm to me if you are fine to assist? For those who had previously agreed to help, thanks again *smile*. For those not on the list, if you feel the burning desire to chip in, please contact us about it (we would welcome it very much).

If you review the contact list (see attachment in email of 6 Sept), the "contacts-in-charge" are listed on the extreme right hand column. Please confirm if you are ok to being a contact in-charge.


CONTACT TRACING TO-DATE :-

Welcome the "found" : Fauziah, Mrs Goh (biology teacher), Mr Goh (chinese teacher), and Yoon Fah. Both teachers are retired and very surprised to receive the call and mentioned that they will try to make the gathering but cannot confirm for now. They may be separately going away on overseas trips in late October. Cross our fingers here!!!!

STILL TRACING :-

- Arun is close to getting into contact with Jesbeer. We await the update from the professor.
- Vincent : to get in touch with Yim Pheng (William sms'ed you her mobile)
- Siew Ling : We await your contact with Alice.
- Maggie : We await your contact with Chai Eng.

Folks, many thanks and let's keep this going.

If you know of anyone else's contact simply call them or pass the contact to myself to call.

Linda and Pardiv, we continue to rely on your magic!!!!!!!!!!!

PHOTOGRAPHS AND SCANS : -

Can I suggest that we spice up the blog with photographs. Any contributions, please?

Until next time...just keep on smiling.

Joachim

PS : would also appreciate it if the contacts in-charge could get started to keep the dialogue going with their "charges".
