Weekly Update: January 05, 2005

Greetings To All
 Novaliches High School Alumni
On-line Community Members!
By Chona Villafuerte-Go NHS Batch 1986
Website Administrator

As your Website Administrator I would like to take the time to thank all of you for your support. I look forward to an exciting year and, with your help, hope to continue the progress our NHS Alumni On-line Community has made in the past few weeks we are actually on-line. 

I hope everyone had a happy holiday and was able to enjoy time with family and friends. I would like to welcome all new members to our On-line Community and thank all the dedicated volunteers for their efforts last year. It’s pretty amazing, how our registered member numbers grew with just a couple of weeks of  recruitment and invitations (which only started last
December 7, 2004).
Well done everyone!!

2004 Year in Review

It’s no secret, but another year has come and gone. I’m sure we all remember special events that took place during 2004—perhaps an engagement, a marriage, a birth of a child, or maybe an anniversary.

 But how many of you are aware that our Alma Mater, Novaliches High School celebrated its 40^th anniversary last year? This speaks volume of the long-time legacy and history of our beloved High School. 

And our first all-batch NHS Alumni On-line Community is not at all behind with wonderful news. It’s because of your efforts and your alumni referrals  that we’re a strong and indeed a growing on-line community.

I thank our First Moderator, Mr. Gerry Bayona Batch 1975 for all his efforts in making sure that all is well with our Message Board. Thank you for your dedication. If there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate to call on us all.

And, to Mr. Benjie Canonoy Batch 1984 , thank you for stepping forward so quickly to take on the responsibilities of our next Forum Moderator for the coming month of February year 2005.

Reminder: Please Check out our many volunteer and involvement opportunities!
We hope that you have read your welcome new member letter (this is the letter we sent you after you registered) which lays out all important information to make the most of your membership.

We have also provided on our welcome member letter a list of current volunteer opportunities and they are as follows:

1) Forum Moderators
2) Lost Forum Committee Member
3) Tell A Friend Committee Member
4) Newsletter Committee Member
5) Message Board Contributor
6) Special Event Coordinator

 Our “VT” (Volunteer Team) is currently organizing a campaign drive for all our registered members to determine their interest in volunteering. If you are interested and wanted to get involve, please contact us at nhsqcalumni@gmail.com

Additionally, if there’s a topic you’d like presented on our Message Board & Newsletter, or if you know of an excellent writer from our fellow alumni members,  please pass this information to us immediately.

Or simply sign up for our Volunteer Team by sending us email to nhsqcalumni@gmail.com

Please note that we don't manage our volunteers; we just don't have the resources for that. We want self-starters and self-managers only.

We are also working on several ideas for our On-line community and will share them with you soon. Please help us spread the word by telling your family and friends about our site.

Again, thank you for your support and your active participation in our programs and events.

I look forward to a productive year.
