Mon Alegre, Efren Nierva, and Hector Rivera from the Phils will get bids from the above possible venues to include lodging for 3 nights/days, food, activities and amenities available for the attendees.

It was decided that a core group of 10 people will start to contribute at least $20/mo from June, 2010 - June 2011 to cover the expenses that would be incurred for the 3 days lodging, food and activities for the reunion. Maxi and Darwyn, (our treasurer), will open a bank account where we can all send our contributions. Furthermore, Darwyn will send everyone the necessary information to facilitate the transmittal of these funds to our designated account. Everyone who is willing, (in our reunion/tsikahan group), is invited and welcome to contribute to this account, as well.

Committees formed for the reunion:
1. Reaching out /finding Members:
= Each core member will start calling one or two other tsikahan members,(or people they've heard who belong to our group), to find out their commitment to attend the reunion in 2011.
= They will communicate the names of people and their answers to Cyd, who in turn will keep a tally of how many people are coming to the reunion. This will be cross referenced against the graduates' list in our tsikahan group.
= Cyd will give all members a report @ the next meeting in October in SF.

2. Fundraising: Leo Non was designated to chair this committee. He will choose his members who will work with him on issues connected with how to best disburse the funds in our account.

3. Travel Committee: Beth Alejandro was designated as this committee's chairperson. She will choose the members of her team and will work on travel-related issues, i.e, group rates, tours, side trips, etc.

4. Tax Deduction?: Maxi will find out if this reunion can be dovetailed with a PAMET conference/meeting so that it can be a tax deductible expense.

Next Meeting: Oct., 2010 in San Francisco, CA

Meeting Adjourned: 3:30 pm..
