La Salle Alumni,
Friends & Supporters:
In 2011, we will
celebrate 100 years of La Sallian presence in the
Philippines. As part of the year-long celebrations, UMAEL
(an association of alumni from La Sallian schools from all over
the world) will also hold their bi-annual celebrations at the
same time. The World La Salle Alumni Centennial Convention
will be held from October 26th through October 30th with the
various campuses of Taft, Zobel, Dasmarinas and Greenhills each
hosting a day of the event. The convention theme is “One La
Salle”.
The eight Canada and
US La Salle Alumni Association chapters will participate in the
celebrations by publishing a One La Salle Centennial book.
It will be similar to the school yearbooks and grouped by chapter
affiliation. The book will show the individual alumni
currently residing in Canada or the US who graduated or studied
at any La Sallian school in the Philippines. The second
portion will feature our friends, supporters and
advertisers.
We encourage
everyone who attended any La Salle school, whether you graduated
or not, and reside in Canada or the United States to submit your
picture, at no cost, and a short article about your experience at
La Salle for our Centennial Book. Your article should be no
more than 2 paragraphs. The deadline to submit your picture
and article is May 30, 2011. Please email your pictures and
articles to LaSalleAlumCanadaUSA@gmail.com.
Below is the required format for your picture submission:

no less than 450 x 600 pixels at 300 dpi but can be

Each chapter will
keep 100% of the net proceeds from this important project.
Our La Salle Alumni Association of Southern California chapter
will allocate the proceeds equally to the 17 La Salle schools.
In turn, the schools will have discretion to use the monies
for scholarships, library books and equipment or any other area
where they need the funds.
This will be a great
opportunity for you to introduce your business to potential
prospects not only within your regional area but to most major
cities in Canada and the United States. Most importantly,
you will be helping educate many deserving young people. We
hope that you can support us on this worthy project. You
will find the advertising form with all the details attached to
this letter.
The deadline to
submit your payment and Ad is July 15, 2011. The target
book launch is September 16, 2011. We hope to
distribute the yearbook to our alumni, friends, supporters and
advertisers before the October celebrations in Manila.

advertising in the book, send an email to
