5 May Update from the Reunion organizers


19th SC has 17 people going... :D



From: "Council Reunion 2008"
Subject: Council Reunion 2008 - 5 May Updates



Dear Former Councillors and Council Teachers

Contents of this email update:

  1. Collection of photos/archives
  2. Advertising in our programme booklet
  3. Ticket sales deadline 31st May

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. We want your memories!

In an attempt to add to the spirit of the reunion, we are trying to collect a wide variety of photos of councillors or council events over the years. We are also planning a display of Hwa Chong memorabilia, so if you have an ancient t-shirt, publication, MAF centerpiece or anything related to council, we would very much like to loan it from you for the evening.


The success of the reunion depends not only on the organisation, but the effort on your part as well to recreate the past and blend it into the present. Please do take the extra step to help us - select the best photos and email them to us, or for those before the digital camera age, scan in those photos, dig up the box from JC days... Please help us make this a night to remember.


We'd very much like photos in soft copy, emailed to councilreunion08@gmail.com. However, if you would like to pass us albums in person, we will gladly arrange to meet you and scan them in. If you have any archives you would kindly share with us, please get in touch and we'll arrange for a time to collect them from you nearer the date.

xQ, ok got your relentless hints, count me in to your table! :D

but seriously, i would love to meet 17th SC more than any other SC. can still remember the charisma they exude during year 1 orientation, the exact scene where they perform mass-dance for all of us.. even though they are more or less just like anyone of us, the 18th SC.. haa.. those good old days and the good old memories..

I've sent out an email to those in my address book regarding the reunion. Those of you who're still active here can help spread the msg to those whose email addresses i don't have. Perhaps xq can help track the active bloggers while i'll consolidate the rest i'm in touch with. I guess we have xq, eik and myself now.
