An Appeal For Help From Fellow Alumni Especially to Those Working Overseas
Dear Fellow Alumni,
In behalf of the Preparatory Committee, let me express Our Warmest Greetings to all of you and
I hope you are all fine and well as you receive this letter.
First of all, I would like to thank all of you for supporting the Preparatory Committee and some
other alumni who are working behind the scenes in order for us to reach a certain degree of
success in all the endeavors that we have undertaken since we took the first step towards building
a strong and cohesive alumni association of Juan Sumulong High School Quezon City. Without
your untiring financial and material support, and sustained moral encouragement, we would not
have been motivated enough to commit and dedicate our time and energies to pursue this
historical undertaking. For this, please accept our heartfelt gratitude to all you.

In view of the forgoing, we are appealing to fellow alumni especially to those who are working
and/or residing overseas to help us continue our work by providing voluntary technical
manpower, financial and material and supplies to the JSHSQC Alumni Association.
We have thus far raised US$180 and we still need an additional US$420 in order to pay the
required US$600 annual webhosting fee for the JSHSQCAA website. In particular, we would
like to follow-up the pledges of JSHS Alumni who promised to help provide the funds for the
webhosting fee.

Class 1967, Vicente Bunao of Class 1968, and Bermel Paz and Leonardo Rosario of Class 1977

Likewise, we have also generated cash donations which are now deposited in our temporary
bank in Banco De Oro. We will use these funds to defray the expenses for the conduct of
nominations and elections of the JSHSQCAA Board of Directors, preparation for the Grand
Alumni Homecoming, and sustain meetings of the Preparatory Committee. Accounting of the
status of these donations will be reported soon by the Finance Committee.
For these, we would also like to express our sincere thanks to Marilou Lasam, Elizabeth
Benavidez-Gervacio for their kind support. The Finance Committee will soon publish the names
of Alumni donors.
We also would like to thank Class 1972, 1973, 1977, 1995, and 2002 for helping us defray the
