 Hi Terry,
Based on the minutes from our first meeting on April 11, 2012, these are the 
committees I've listed for the timeline. If you can think of any other 
committees please let me know so they can be added. I will do a?sample timeline 
for one of the committees listed. When we meet we will work on the? 
blank?timeline?sheets?for every month from?April 11, 2012?until June 2014, for 
each committee. I look forward to working with you. Thanks again for your 
willingness to?format this timeline on the?computer. "All for each and each for 
all."
Always Expecting The Best,
Creasie

for each and each for all

 
 
 
Hi all - here is the announcement about what transpired at our meeting last 
month AND what we agreed to based on the notes I took.  Please take a 
moment to look at the agreements and see if I have missed, added or 
misrepresented anything.  I  have listed the names of the people who agreed 
to be part of the milestone timeline group.  Maybe Creasy could take the 
lead getting that group together if you haven't already met?  Please feel 
free to share and post this e-mail. 
 
I'd like to have one firm rule - this Centennial Planning group if for 
people who are ACTIVELY planning and attending meetings.  We will set up 
another listserve to share information.  I hope that makes sense to you all. 
 
Dan can you share the e-mails you've set up just so we have that here.  And 
any progress on the contacts database, etc. 
 
Also, I set up a google voice free phone number.  It is google voice number 
*510-740-8030.  *Once we get rolling, I will set up a voice message asking 
people to leave the contact info.  It is EASY to check those messages which 
are transcribed into a gmail e-mail account (OT100years [at] gmail.com).  My 
thinking on this is that its for people who do not use e-mail and we can 
call them back and get their contact info that way.

ANNOUNCEMENT: 
On Saturday, April 11th,  11 Bulldogs gathered at 11am in Ms. Wolfe's room 
(103) to get the ball rolling on a Centennial Celebration!  There were 
members from the class of 1944 through 2013. 
 
This is going to be a great, get to business planning group - though there 
was a good deal of digression about famous and not so famous graduates and 
not quite graduates who shall remain nameless. 
 
The group set a broad initial timeline of meeting every three months on the 
3rd Sat. at 11am at Tech., acknowledging the need for sub-committee 
meetings and more frequent meetings as the Centennial kickoff gets closer - 
the 2014/2015 school year. 
 
What came through loud and clear was a desire to reinvigorate the notion of 
Bulldog Pride.  Early on, the question: How can we make Bulldog Alums part 
of the school? shaped the discussion.  This planning group, and certainly 
others, would like to share the Bulldog Message throughout the planning and 
beyond. 
 
Over the coming months, you will be invited to join a Centennial Update 
yahoo group, help locate stray Bulldogs, and help build the buzz.  If you 
have ideas you would like to contribute, please do so by coming to the next 
planning meeting on Saturday, July 21 at 11am at the Oakland Tech library 
(formerly the auditorium for those of you who remember when). 
 
 
AGREEMENTS: 
The group agreed the Centennial should not detract from the class of 2014's 
graduation and that the alumni torch should be passed to those students. 
The group agreed that current Tech students can and should play a major 
role in the event. 
The group agreed that students, faculty and staff past and present are all 
part of the Centennial outreach. 
The group agreed this is a BIG DEAL and will commit to put the city on 
notice to avoid scheduling major events which might conflict. 
The group agreed there will be multiple events over the course of the year 
culminating in a Gala of some sort. 
The group agreed that music and fashions over all the decades should be 
incorporated into the Centennial events. 
The group agreed to look into creating an endowment fund with the proper 
legal advising possibly in the form of a foundation (Dick would you like to 
work on this with me and maybe Sheilagh?) 
The group agreed there is a need for a PR committee for publicity, a 
secretarial committee to locate and communicate with participants. 
The group agreed to form a subcommittee which will bring back a milestone 
timeline for the next 2 years to the July 21st meeting for review by the 
full group (Creasy, Marian, Marty, Stacy and Sheilagh) 
The group agreed form two yahoo groups - one for the planning committee and 
another for all to keep them up to date on what's happening. 
The group understands all funding will need to be raised and will look into 
locating foundations as well as other donors. 
The group agreed they would like to create video documentation to capture 
the stories of Bulldogs through the years and to energize and reconnect 
people for the event.
