Dear ___________,

A pleasant summertime to you and to your family!

Following the celebration of the Holy Trinity Academy (HTA) Golden Jubilee last 22-26 May 1997,  our communication lines were unfortunately shut off. It was never intended. As a matter of fact, we wanted to reach you at once to thank you for the tremendous support you have extended to our beloved Alma Mater. Please understand that our association has no full time staff to carry out the work and that most alumni officers have been preoccupied with their individual jobs.

Nevertheless, in behalf of all alumni officers and members, allow me to express our sincere thanks for your support and cooperation which has contributed much to the success of the Golden Jobilee celebration. Your presence and the many tasks you performed for HTA are all appreciated. I believe that God has taken full account of your efforts. The success of our celebration was truly a testament and a clear manifestation of our oneness in heart and in mind as graduates of our dear HTA.

Attached, please find a copy of the accounting reports for your reference. At the same time, allow us to remind those who pledged to donate an amount and equipment to please turn over your pledges. We would be happy to receive your pledges soon.

The incumbent HTA principal, Sr. Marietta Dumadag, has sought our assistance to help subsidize the salaries of several faculty members. HTA would need P140,000.00 annually to maintain a quality teaching staff. Right now,the sisters are worried that the school may be forced to close its doors because of the dwindling number of enrollees. A salary of P3,000.00 to P4,000.00 a month is very low and is not commensurate to the kind of work a teacher does.

HTA needs our help. Together, we can prevent a terrible scene from happening if all of us will join hands and extend financial and whatever form of assistance we can give to HTA and its teaching staff.

I close this letter with a positive feeling that may HTA will always have a special place in your heart.

Many thanks and may God bless you always.

Yours sincerely,

SAMUEL B. LIM
President
HTA Alumni Association
