Highlights of the agenda:

1. The regular semi-monthly meeting will no longer be limited to officers’ attendance; it will become a fellowship activity for the general membership. This is to encourage participation from the batch members and enjoin them in decision-making. Everyone can join the meeting.
2. Batch Fund update. The SNNHS Batch 98 savings account with the SRBC was opened on January 8, 2009 by Chair Jun Piong and Vice-Chair Karen Myl Alinsunod. Details were posted in the blog.

It was temporarily named to the above officers since opening an organizational account requires a duly notarized resolution. The resolution was already prepared as of the date of the meeting and will be delivered to the SRBC for the needed amendments in the account.

3. Blog updates. The current blog layout was shown to the batch members present during the meeting especially to those who have yet accessed the site. And the proposed incoming articles were presented for solicitation of write-ups. These include the Batch Icons, SNNHS Hymn, and Success Stories of successful 1998 graduates. One identified was Dindo who was said is now a School Principal in Cebu.

The pool of writers will also be identified to do the write-ups for posting in the blog.

4. Solicitation Letters. Draft letter was presented for comments. Bullo commented that the letter should contain a monitoring number to avoid fraud and for tracking.
5. Joining in Night Café for revenue generation. The stall space that will be rented for P150 nightly every Fridays and Saturdays, at 6pm to 2am, shall be named SNNHS Batch 98. The officers and batch members can volunteer to man the stall. Compensation for the volunteers still to be discussed.

6. Unsolicited remarks against a batchmate(s). Bad remarks against the fault and misdoing of other batchmates shall be discouraged. This is to avoid division and conflict and, thus, encourages camaraderie.

Having no matters to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 9:15 in the evening.

Next meeting will be on January 30, 2009, Friday, 7:30pm. Rendezvous at Caltex Bar.
