July 15 Class of 96 Weekend GetawayWeekend Getaway for Class of 96For those of you hearing for the first time, some of us have come up with a great idea for a weekend get together at the Tubakula Bungalows on the coral coast. Why Tubakula??? Because its central ... so the ppl in the west can come down and we can go up and no one can have any valid excuse on the distance factor.The idea is to have a no-kids+no-partners+lots of fun ... getawa together meda dredre mada! Since we in Suva are meeting on Tuesday, it will be an opportune time for u Suva ladies to confirm your attendance or at least your interest. "Tubakula offers a choice of self-contained (self-catering) beachfront, oceanview and poolside bungalows, all with kitchens, ceiling fans and covered verandahs, as well as budget-priced single and double/twin rooms with shared bathrooms, and dormitory beds for backpackers. Private Bungalow rates: F$94.00 to F$135.00 (double) Rooms with shared bathroom: F$47.00 to F$52.00 Dormitory rates: F$21.00 per person per night *** There is also a special package where ppl pay for 6 to a bungalow which brings the rates down considerably! Una, myself and TJ are working hard to get us the best possible rates and will let u all know of the details as they come to hand. But please think about this idea and the fun times we cld and shld have together. The idea is to catch up and have a break!! We need a confirmation of the numbers of interested people as soon as possible so West ppl, let Una know. Suva ppl, let TJ and I know via a response to an email sent out recently. At the bottom of that email is a list where u can pencil ur name in. The dates arent confirmed, suffice to say that we will not make it a last minute thing. It will either be end of this month or begginning of the next or sometime thereabouts. p.s other news:

Guests of honour will be the former scholars appointed to the Senior Management Group at USP which includes; · Dr. Esther Williams as Deputy VC, · Dr. Eci Nabalarua as Pro-Vice Chancellor ( Academic) and · Dr. Akanisi Kedrayate as Associate Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Law.

USP Staff branch members (except the Guests and students) are asked to contribute $10.00each towards the afternoon tea, Tima Qeranatabua (Purchasing Office) is collecting the $10 whilst Fulori is organising the menu...please assist where you can and please be there.
(2) Diamond Jubilee Soli and Public Awareness gathering
If you had filled in a Diamond Jubilee pledge, this will be the first soli towards that pledge, others who do not want to pledge or have not pledged, just give what you want to and can afford to give. The National Executive Committee had set up three subcommittees each focussing on areas of interest and benefit to members. One of these groups chaired by Dr. Kubuabola is organising the first Forum on Saturday 25 March 2006 to be held at Fiji College of Advanced Education. The topic will be the "Soqosoqo Vakamarama" and Adi Finau Tabakaucoro will be the Guest Speaker. The programme will start at 10 am, light lunch will be served and the Diamond Jubilee Soli will follow at 1.30pm. How can the ACSOG Association assist the Soqosoqo Vakamarama in the development of the Fijian/Rotuman women in Fiji is one of the main aims of having this forum. Your presence on Saturday is important and will be greatly appreciated.
(3) Sports Day and Annual General Meeting The Gone Turaga na Ka Levu had issued an Invitation to host this years AGM at the Fijian. The National Executive Committee reconsidered this offer and suggested that the AGM should be held in Suva and use the Fijian invitation to host the Sports Day in June. The other alternative Sports Day venue and host suggested was of course USP! If you’re a USP member, let your views on these two issues made known to Dr. Kubuabola, Fulori or Leba Mataitini by next week.
(4) Coffee Table Book This project has been revived and will be spearheaded by the Diamond Jubilee Committee chaired by Rokobua Naiyaga. The stories of the life and achievements of former scholars need to be captured in print, suggest names of those we can start with. All stories should be told, where and who do we do we start with..Pioneers, or in decades etc? Mereani Rokotuibau, Ana Rokomokoti and Lice Movono are the 90s branch rep. on the Diamond Jubilee Committee whilst Laijipa Naulivou is the rep for USP staff Branch. Please submit your ideas and or state your interest in taking part in this project with your branch reps.
(5) ACSOG Newsletter and Website The first ACSOG Newsletter will be out next Saturday and available at FCAE. The administartors of the website need financial assistance to keep the website going. A tentaive budget will be presented at the next meeting and the Diamond Jubilee Committee would liaise with the operators to assist in keeping operations within manageable costs.
(6) Mentoring Programme The class of 90s requested assistance from more experienced and skilled members to act as Mentors for their members especially those studying at USP. In a previous meeting of the National Executive Committee it was agreed that ACSOG Association will assist the MFA/USP Mentoring & Monitoring Committee in providing Mentors for its programme. The National Executive has agreed that the Association should focus its efforts Mentoring our own former students. This would commence with the present students and link to to those coming out of ACS every year. Mentoring should not be confined only to academic matters but include professional mentoring also. The first introductory efforts will be made at the Afternoon Tea and the Saturday meet at FCAE. Send your name in to Fulori Sarai if you want to be a Mentor...qualification...a caring adult willing to help.
