Pics of the IPCAP 2008 National Convention Invite

This is the invitation letter of IPCAP's 1st National Convention this coming Nov. 21-22, 2008 at the University of the East Conference Hall, C.M. Recto Ave., Manila. Please help us disseminate this information to fellow Registered Guidance Counselors. Those who would like to have this document may email me or anyone of the Board of Trustees so that we can send the document via email attachment. I have just tried printing from the picture of the document and it does look quite the same as the original invitation. In times like these that we have, the electronic tools we have can prove very helpful to keep us from wasting precious resources.

Registration begins today. Please RESERVE EARLY, informing us about your intention and payment of fees to attend so we can ready a space for you. The problems we've been meeting at every Convention may best be avoided if we reserve ahead of time. Contact information is provided in the letter. Help make this Convention something different from what we've had previously. RGC na po tayo ngayon, and it would be best for us to do things properly. Yes, let us know too about your need for CHED, DepEd and TESDA memoranda so we can ready them for you ahead of time. Thanks and see you at the Convention.

Yes, you might notice that we have set this Convention in three different settings and time: Nov. 21-222, 2008 at the University of the East Conference Hall, Manila; Jan. 23-24, 2009 at Silliman University in Dumaguete, and Feb. 20-21, 2009 at the Ateneo de Zamboanga University. This is to keep us from having a chaotic process and really attend well this growth-enhancing, knowledge increasing, and bond-enriching event among ourselves. We can best serve our needs when we attend to them in the least stressful manner.

Hence, while the Convention in Manila is primarily for RGCs in the Luzon area, RGCs from the Visayas and Mindanao may reserve early. We have already received some reservations from Zamboanga and Silliman which can be very helpful as we prepare the Convention in those areas. Welcome po! Remember there are limits in space. We will announce here updates about the registration process.

RUMORS

Remember the story I blogged here, about the father who wanted his son to marry the daughter of Beell Gayts so that he can become the Vice-President of the Word Bank? It tells about the power of rumors. The oral-tradition can be quite difficult to handle, hence the need for documentation. Hence, any word about us or about the licensure, or requirements for the Grandfather's Clause, may be as good as the air - meaning TALK is CHEAP. So, the best way is to have the documents ready about one's claims. This can keep us less stressed. I have done that here myself in whatever statements I have made. This manner makes information credible and reliable.

Thanks and God bless
