August 2008 is a red-letter day in my calendar, not because it's the Olympics, but the College I came from will celebrate the centennial foundation anniversary. This will be a grand celebration as all who had its share in the glorious history of the college will be around to join in the festivities.
Some graduates of the college are already part of the mainstream labor force, 4 are company chairmen, maybe a dozen are COO's and CEO's, 2 are two term members of congress, while one holds the distinction of a Senator, and hopefully in the future one intends to join the primary to select a candidate for president.
I called the celebration secretariat and offered to provide the necessary banners, for both our company banners that will be hanged interspaced with the customary
college flags. I even sent our company personnel to help the celebration committee in the arrangement and decoration of the venue and the placement of the banners as well.
When the weeklong celebration began, the majority of the alumnus of the College were present and congratulatory messages were extended to the successful graduates, particularly in the field of business, public service and the academe.
The college on their part welcomed all alumni's like their long lost child. For who could deny the fact that when one graduates, it is seldom that one could have the time for a visit. It is only on rare occasions like this centennial foundation celebration that the majority will be around, and the guests becomes a veritable who's who from all sectors of society.
What about you? Have you joined any of your alma mater's festivities lately? Be there and be counted, its fun.
