VINCENT Baltazar, the current president of St. Joseph’s Academy Alumni Association of Southern California (SJAAASC), and Lucie Mayuga Ongaco, the event chairperson, cordially invite all former students of St. Joseph’s Academy (Las Pinas, Philippines), to the upcoming Third SJAAASC Grand Alumni Reunion that will coincide with the Labor Day weekend of 2009.
The Grand Reunion will be held on the entire day of September 5, at College Park - 3250 South Rose Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93033. This will be a morning-to-dusk affair; and the costume theme will be Hawaiian. The association has contracted vendors to provide food and drinks for individual purchase. There will be games and fun activities - so needless to say, family members are welcome.
Two nearby hotels are recommended:

Bring your proof of stay at any hotel in Oxnard, to the reunion. A raffle draw will be held, and two lucky alumni will be reimbursed – thanks to the generosity of Mrs. Vollette Baltazar.
The following evening, Sunday Sept. 6, the reunion celebrations will continue with a Reunion Dance at SMR Dance Studio - 10591 Mills Avenue, Montclair, CA 91763. This will be from 7pm untill midnight. The theme will continue to be Hawaiian. A dinner buffet is included with the $25 entrance ticket.

Class Participation
Get together with your classmates to prepare for the Class Cheering Contest!
Come up with your best cheers and choreography – Sis-boom-bah! Praise your Class, Praise SJA. Design your best cheering squad outfit: pom-poms, bull horns…the works! Practice your high kicks, and scream! This will be fun!
During the Reunion, each class will be introduced and photograph each Class. You may want to have your Class T-shirts made, and wear them for this souvenir photographed.
While the different batches are being introduced and photographed, a projector for a picture slide show (no live-video/audio) will be set up. Each Class will be allotted 3 minutes.
You may include old, recent, group, or individual pix. Let’s get busy! Please send a zip file of your JPEG formatted pictures to Mel Rivera at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Mel will compile the pictures for the slide show, so he has to receive them by August 10.
Class ’73 will be in charge of coordinating the entertainment activities before and during the Reunion. So, if you have any suggestions, or if your class will provide a special number that you want included in the program, please contact: Lyn (De Leon) San Miguel at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
Needless to say, after the programs, you’ll put-on your dance shoes, and do some serious Swing, Cha-cha-cha, Boogey, Salsa, and of course…line-dancing!
You may forget to bring extra socks and underwear, but do not forget to bring your cameras.
