LONGBURN ADVENTIST COLLEGE
MINUTES OF ALLUMNI ASSOCIATION MEETING HELD ON 21 MARCH 2008 AT 9AM
A meeting was held on the campus during the March 21 - 23 Centenary celebrations.
Catriona Righton, as spokesperson for the Centenary Committee, welcomed about 30 people to talk about forming an alumni for the college. The main purpose of this meeting was to save the history of the college that had been found in the years previous to the celebrations, before it is lost for ever. After Catriona had spoken the people present agreed we must do something soon. Mr Roger Nixon, the chairperson of the alumni at Avondale College, spoke of how the alumni presented itself, what its aims were for the past, and the future.
The first question to be addressed was “what is an alumni and what is its purpose”. We learned that an alumni is really a club for former students and staff to keep in touch with each other via correspondence and get-togethers; also to preserve the history in the best form possible for future generations.
Several ideas were put forward as to how this could be accomplished, including building an up-to-date database, forming a committee, making one area in the school answerable to the Alumni Committee and keeping in touch through newsletters.
This meeting was, unfortunately, cut short due to the college reunion photo being taken. Catriona suggested that those who were interested in forming a committee or being involved in some way meet in her science lab at 1:00pm.
This was agreed to and the meeting finished at 10:00am.
