Updates on Greenovation highlights preparation
(27 August 2002)
It was reported that the purchase of the 1699m2 lot for the National
Center for Teacher Education has already been completed. The plan for
the building construction is ongoing. Possible donors are still to be
identified.
From the Finance Committee, Mr. Kalaw reported that the bonds are still
being evaluated by SEC. Meanwhile, it has been agreed that DLSU can
market the bonds and accept reservations from the students of Zobel
and Greenhills. BEACON reported that Metrobank has indicated readiness
to buy while the bonds are being offered to two other banks. Mr. Atayde
reported that circulars were issued to LSGH parents to indicate their
interest in the bonds projects. The assistance of part-time tele-marketers
will be sought to get faster feedback. The same package was sent to
Bro. Jimmy for possible replication in Zobel. He further reported that
the commissions, which the Greenhills Alumni Association will earn from
the project, would be used for the Adult Night High School. A meeting
will be set among BEACON, ICCP, Mrs. Farrell, Mr. Kalaw, and Mr. Atayde
to discus pricing, commission schemes, and all other matters related
to the project.
For the Historical Committee, Alburo presented the proposed flowchart
for the CD-ROM presentation of all alumni, stressing the highlights
of four periods in DLSU’s history. It was noted that the CD-ROM
will include all the alumni from 1911 while the exhibit will feature
only the milestones of each of the four periods of the University’s
history. On the Centennial Commemorative Stamps Project, Ms. Alburo
clarified that 50,000 is the total number of stamps, regardless of the
number of designs, required by the Bureau of Posts. The projected cost
of this project is P337,500.00. Two properties of the DLS-Araneta University
have been identified as possible sites for the tree-planting project:
the Doña Remedios Trinidad in Bulacan and Salicneta. While both
properties have trees ready for cutting, DENR requires that a nursery
first be available for the cut trees. On the other hand, the tree-planting
site in Lipa is still in the exploratory state. Bro. Andrew pointed
out that the System shall handle this project’s financial requirements.
The Communications and Documentations Committee reported that the DLSU
web site will regularly incorporate updated information on Centennial
related activities. All publications related to the Centennial released
by each of the System Units on the Centennial will be collated and documented.
The Committee will document all activities embarked on by all the other
Committees. It will further come up with an annual media plan for articles
that will be published in the national dailies. It was also recommended
that a Centennial video covering the University and the Christian Brothers’
history, present endeavors, and future directions be prepared for publicity
purposes. The video can be shown on national TV.
