I did go thru the
October comments, George
It is going
to be difficult to make a good report.
I
copied all the comments and will try to make a circular from the short chats.
Of
course the photos speak for themselves.
When I
said that the invitation was for a selected group, this is because, when you do
not contact the persons personally with a phone call besides Facebook, the
results are foreseeable.
All
email correspondence is always published in the Circular, so if any Oldboy who
wants to be included, please write.
This
includes you George, because on down loading the chats from Facebook I have
read your short commentaries that would have been interesting for the Circular
but I never got them for me to include in the Circular.
I get
notified in the ladislaokertesz@hotmail.com address by Facebook when there
is something for me to look up, but nothing came on my email.
Again
if I would know something more on how Facebook works, I can remedy this.
I
wonder is you have an economical means to call numbers in the US or Canada, to
be able to make promotion of the 2019 reunion and get a certification of wellbeing
of the recipient of your call. THERE ARE…
I have
a bunch of telephone numbers that might be useful but I need confirmation that
the calls will be made, like you said, make a call a couple of time a week,
cannot be called work.
Just
in case you would like to know why I am late with the Circulars, I am working
on a heliport project, I am alone in my office doing what is necessary to keep
in check the expenses. Also I am alone
at home as my wife has taken the invitation of our daughter in Munich. But I
like the hassle.
So
please make sure that any interesting comments on Facebook gets printed in the
Circular,
God
bless
Ladislao

Dear Ladislao
I am
confused…there are 10 plus entries and many photos of the October reunion
posted in https://www.facebook.com/groups/msbabbeyoldboys/
of which you are
member.
Once
you access it, you will need to scroll down through dozens of the latest
postings until you get to mid-October 2018 where you will find the information
that you are requesting …. there are comments, pictures and even videos of
Lionel and those who attended.
Agree
that the Circular is still the most read medium of all the options that are
being used today.
My
perception is that very few alumni take the time nowadays to contribute to it
with current related info.
I
would also like to offer that you will be able to extract valuable, pertinent
and current alum information for the Circulars if you visit the AB MSB FB page
regularly.
As a
USA commercial of the past stated “Try it, you will like it”.
You
will now also see the current state of planning for the 2019 reunion.
As a
quick reference, our AB MSB FB page has:
139
members today
There
are daily entries of one sort of another….many related to our alumni
Looks
like only 10-30 % of these individual entries are actually seen, read and
infrequently responded to by the current members.
Not
sure how the Circulars comparable “statistics” compare.
See my
answers to your other questions within your note below.
Hope
this helps.
May
God bless you and many, many gracias for your passion and dedication to the
challenging task to keep us all connected and informed,
George

Dear
George
I looked
into the Facebook groups and saw nothing relevant on the St. Petersburg REUNION
Since
you are an assiduous visitor to the page, can you copy all that is referenced
to the REUNION past in October and send it to me so that I may include it in
the News.
I say
this because Facebook is not the best way to go.
There
are other communicational groups like the not so fabulous one, The Circular,
ahahah
I feel
the right way is like the planning for the new one, way ahead of time so that
we may get all the emails and phone numbers to keep constantly reminding the
brethren. WE ARE DOING THIS IN FB AND VIA EMAIL TO
THOSE WHO ATTENDED THE ONE IN ST PETE’S.
Right
now the problem with the Circular is that the folks forget that when writing to
Facebook or other means, to send a copy to the Circular, kertesz11@yahoo.com.
This I
believe can be done by forwarding to my Facebook address or linking me by some
way. I AM
INCLUDING YOU IN THE EMAILS SENT RELATED TO THE 2019 REUNION. TIM HEALY
IS PREPARING A “QUESTIONNAIRE” THAT WILL BE POSTED TO INQUIRY ABOUT INTEREST
AND PARTICIPATION ….. WILL PROBABLY SHARE THIS WITH YOU NEXT WEEK SO IT CAN BE
INCLUDED IN A FUTURE CIRCULAR
I only
open the Facebook news when I get notified through ladislaokertesz@hotmail.com, I presume that I have to be friends to
those that write???? NO. SUGGEST THAT YOU OPEN OUR PAGE A FEW TIMES PER
WEEK
I do not
open my Facebook page, too much trash especially from people that I do not know
I wonder
if you have an economical means to call numbers in the US or Canada, to be able
to make promotion of the 2019 reunion and get a certification of wellbeing of
the recipient of your call. THERE ARE…

Hi Guys,
Forwarding
this Circular in case you do not receive it.
Ladislao

future circular.
Hi
Ladislao
A
number of pictures were posted on the MSB Facebook page over the past weeks
along with some comments.
A blessed
Sunday to all,
George

Thanks for the
comments and your help. George
There
is a myth that all Oldboys use FACEBOOK,
I do
not use it except to get at the photos of Oldboys so that I may use it in the
Circular.
That
is why I copied the conversation of the Venezuelans giving thanks to the
donations by the ASAA.
And
now thanks to your reminder I am going to look up the FACEBOOK page to see if I
find something useful for the Circular being reported on the Reunion.
What
is the address, as it is not "MSB Facebook"
It is
sad that with all the messaging systems, groups etc. the organisers do not use
these means to advertise and promote their pet projects.
Ladislao
PS: In the last Circular I included a web page
that used to host 38 alumni and has been inactive since some time, It is a
reference that Facebook is fine only if those involved are active.
