               "THE AQUINIAN NURSE... A GLOBAL PROFESSIONAL..."

Dear Friends and Fellow Alumni,

We are one year away from the February 2012 Aquinas University of Legaspi College of Nursing Alumni International reunion. It seems like it is still a long way but time flies.

I would like to invite and encourage all of you to attend the reunion. For those of you who didn't join us in the 2005 reunion, I can share that it's not only renewing friendships and catching up to what's happening with our lives, but it is also sharing and giving back to our Alma Mater and the community.

We are working hard to make the program of activities as interesting, fulfilling and fun. The following is the tentative program:

Feb. 12 -  Registration (Please click here to display the three-page
                 form, then print, fill-out, and mail.)
               Or drop in anytime at AUL, Rawis campus Alumni Affairs
                 office.

               Exhibits all day

Feb. 14 -  "Sharing Is Caring"

               will be participating.

               These affairs on Feb. 15 will be exclusive to the Class of
               1972, AULCNAI attendees and their immediate family,
               (spouse and children, significant other), invited classmates
               of international alumni, and invited guests.

Meeting with the Father Rector and Vic Peralta (Dean of the College of Nursing), date to be determined.

I am looking for volunteers to set up an Exhibit Booth of their specialty. I am setting up a Perioperative Nursing Pathway and Class of 72 is setting up a Critical Care Nursing and The Pioneers booths. Please contact me if you want to volunteer.

This reunion is a combined celebration of the 40th anniversary of Class of 1972 and the AULCNAI grand reunion. Menchu Calisin and I are working hard to make this reunion a success.  We are counting on your support.

I have drafted the invitation letter and registration form. I have information for hotel accommodation which I include in the registration form (Please click here to display the three-page form, then print, fill-out, and mail.).

Lastly, I would like to share the good news from Vic Peralta. AULCN has a 10th placer in the recent board exam, Cezar Ryan Ortiz, class of 2010.

Please forward this email and call your classmates and encourage them to join us in Legaspi City.

Sincerely yours,

Owen Basco Escalada

2011 Las Vegas Reunion (June 18)

February 7, 2011

Dear Fellow Alumni,

Re: AUL Alumni Reunion June 18, 2011, Las Vegas, Nevada (AULCNAI)

We have approximately 19 weeks to go before the reunion. To this date we have approximately 50 alumni who had assured us of their participation. Some of them had already booked their hotels so if you want to be a part of this grand event, make sure that you make your plans by now.

I am also very happy to tell you that our current alumni president, Owen Escalada had re-arranged her schedules and will be joining us in this event. Please read this email that she sent to me recently;

“Hi Al,

If you're still in PI, I hope you're having a grand time. Our class 1977 will join the Las Vegas reunion. My classmates and I thought this will be a good venue to get together, plan and encourage the alumni to participate in the February 2012 Grand Reunion in Legazpi City. I also plan to hold the election of the AULCNAI officers. The effectivity date of the elected officers will be Feb. 2012 after the grand reunion. I would like to finish my term and the plans already set before I turn over the leadership. You can send me information and I'll forward to my classmates. The idea of collecting$50 from all attendees is good because we can use the funds to spend for the medical mission, donate to the college, or to whatever cause all of us deem necessary. You will have a better idea of what the college need after your visit. Vic said that he received the balikbayan box of journals, books and medical supplies I sent. I hope this helped the college in the accreditation.

Best regards.

Owen”

Like what I had previously stated on my email, there will be a pre-reunion gathering at Gloria Raquel’s residence, few minutes from the casino strip. I encourage everyone to plan their trips so they can attend to this equally-important, fun-filled event. There will be lots of food, drinks and of course great opportunity to socialize with your own batch and co-alumni. As we get closer, we will be informing everyone the details of the June 18 program of event as it is quite hard for us to make plans specially when it comes to reserving a hall since we don’t know the close approximate number of attendees.

Please call me if you have any questions (916) 749-4433,  (916) 778-7614 or email me at pnaesp@gmail.com.

Thank you all!

Al Espinas
