		HOLY CROSS OF DAVAO COLLEGE, INC. Sta. Ana Avenue, Davao City OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
		To Holy Cross of Davao College (HCDC) Alumni Association Officers, her is your well-deserved congratulations for launching the Holy Cross of Davao College (HCDC) alumni newsletter. The call of the day is communication. The life of a person, of the family, of the organization, and eventually of a nation and the world depends on constant exchange of ideas, of knowledge, and experience. When life is communicated, it can be treasured and preserved.
MA. IRIS A. MELLIZA,Ed.D. President
	So too in the alumni association. Your alma mater is playing its good role of being a respectable member of the academic community. There is much which its alumni need to know about the college. Among yourselves, there is so much to celebrate. After graduation, you were in an odyssey and such journey is full of exciting growth worthy of chronicling. With the world shrinkling into a global village, networking, linkaging, and covergence become by-words. The newsletter can be a venue. May your zest and commitment continue, become a culture and passed on to your second liners. Mabuhay ang alumni association! Mabuhay and newsletter!

	LETTER FROM THE HCDCAAI PRESIDENT Dear Fellow Alumni, September 11 is our Grand Alumni Homecoming for 2004. Once again, reminiscing with our Alma Mater and olf friends will be the order of the day.

To date, there are 4,050 graduates in the Grade School; 7,339 in the High School; 34 in the Technical Vocational Educcation and Training (TVET); 17,187 in the college and 23 in the Graduate School. A total of 28,633 graduates now comprise the institutional alumni association which was officially registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission last February 12, 2004 as the Holy Cross of Davao College Alumni Association, Inc.

	The association envisions to undertake various projects that would help all HCDC Alumni including their dependents. This being the main objective, plans are carried out to insure that members are served well. Among the initial priority projects are the Alumni Scholarship, Mortuary Assistance, HCDC Employee Financial Assistance, Laboratory Assistance, Community Extension Service and Placement Assistance. In addition, since the school has grown, our alumni association is now in the process of establishing various HCDCAAI chapters here and abroad. Through this linkage, we can disseminate information about our projects and activities to all alumni worldwide. We invite you too, to visit our newly launched alumni website; www.hcdcalumni.ph. Through our website, wherever we are, we can contact our fellow alumni. If we want to know the latest news about our alma mater, locate jobs suitable for us, specially for the new graduates and simply provide current materials for our news publication, this website will be most helpful. It is designed to help all HCDC alumni in the country and abroad. For so long a time now, we have expressed our desire to be updated about he development in our school. This maiden issue of this newsletter is an attempt of our association to fulfill this desire. We shall be looking forward to seeing you again in our next annual alumni homecoming.
