GiCC President’s Message
November 1, 2011
My Dear Fellow Alumni and Friends,
It is with great honor and pleasure that I extend to each of you the warmest of greetings and the very best of wishes on behalf of our dearest beloved Alma Mater, GI/CMCC/GiCC.
At this point I would like to acknowledge and thank Mr. Mark Francis “Beboy” Arango for initiating and creating our website which is able to bring us all closer together - no matter where we are on the globe. It is our hope that those who find and/or are linked to this website <gicmccgicc.webs.com>will spread the word around to all our fellow alumni, former students, and friends.
These are exciting days especially for those of us who live in and around Gingoog City. Our dearest Alma Mater will be celebrating her 65th birthday on November 23-27, 2011 with the theme: “Discerning the Vision, Pursuing the Mission Towards a Greater GiCC.” Some of the highlights include a Thanksgiving Service featuring Honorable Santiago “Toto” Ocot, Jr., Mayor of Magsaysay, Misamis Oriental, and a 1958 graduate; a medical-dental clinic service sponsored by our very own alumni group; field games and demonstrations; children’s quilt distribution for “poorest of the poor” families among our students; the traditional “Binibining GiCC Pageant; a “Students’ Folly,” the traditional grand parade followed by a family picnic on the GiCC grounds; the annual alumni general assembly; and, of course, the most-awaited “Alumni Night”on Saturday, November 26 at the Arturo S. Lugod Gymnasium. The celebration will culminate with the Founders Day Service at the UCCP Church.
The Alumni Council under President Jo Ben Bullecer and composed mainly of the officers and batch coordinators, has been meeting earnestly to plan and fine-tune the details of this great celebration. So, we are inviting all of you to come and join the fun with your fellow alumni. Especially for those who haven’t “come home to GI” for quite some time, rest assured, you’ll be glad you did. Bring your friends along. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the GiCC President’s Office at 8842-7914 or the President’s cell phone at 0916-742-0990. Thank you.
Very cordially yours,
(Sgd) Gideon Z. Alegado, EdD, Batch 1958
President
