There was a report that the Alumni Officials are planning to conduct the annual alumni gathering every month of May.Accordingly, such plan was already discussed by the Alumni Officers and Board in the past few months ago. The reason for such plan was to make the annual alumni reunion more jolly and memorable event.

In a colloquial conversation sometimes in July 2008 with Ms. Luniza P. Garrido, the Alumni President and currently the Branch Manager of Green Bank of Caraga – Kitcharao Branch, told that the annual alumni grand reunion and homecoming might be held every month of May to highlight the occasion as part of the town fiesta. Every May 15 is the annual town fiesta of the Municipality of Alegria. President Garrido said that it will be a joyful festivity if the alumni gathering will be part of the annual town fiesta. She further said that the Alumni might sponsor activities for the town fiesta such as hosting and sponsoring the Balik-Bayan Nights or other program activities. She added that the month of May is favorable for members of alumni especially those who are working abroad and from other places to visit the school and hometown since it is the annual town fiesta.

President Garrido believed that it is jollier occasion if we conduct the annual alumni reunion every month of May than December since only few alumni especially those who working in far places to join and participate the activity on December.

However, the proposed plan to conduct the annual alumni gathering every month of May is contrary to what have had agreed during its 1^st ANHS Grand Alumni Homecoming last December 29, 2007by the alumni general assembly that the yearly alumni grand reunion will be held every month of December.

As per discussion, the officers of ANHS Batch 98 said that the proposed changing of schedule is alright for as long as the general assembly is properly well-informed as to whatever the plans or decision. They added that both the month of May and December are favorable for most of the alumni members. Nevertheless, the Alumni Officers and Board shall also consider that not all alumni members are Alegriahanons who can have ample time and reason to visit Alegria and ANHS during May because it is annual town fiesta. The ANHS Batch ’98 Officers further explained that some alumni members are came from Kitcharao and its barangays (e.g. Poblacion, Mahayahay, San Roque, etc.) and from other places who might have no plan nor have time and reason to visit Alegria and ANHS on May vacation. But some might have more time and reason for Christmas vacation instead. The Batch ’98 officers suggested that such proposed rescheduling or changing of the schedule must be presented first to Alumni General Assembly and/or properly informed the Alumni about the plan and decision.

Meanwhile, the ANHS Alumni Association has not yet officially informs the alumni members as to the proposed changing of annual alumni gathering neither has plan to conduct the alumni gathering by December this year.
