Being the official BBGS OGA Facebook and blog, it is important that we verify all the facts and get clearance from the relevant people before we post information here.
So please excuse us if our news come out a little later compared to the grapevine or other FB accounts. Here are the updates:
WREATH
BBGS OGA and BBGS Alumni Berhad will be jointly sending a wreath to the funeral service of the late Miss Cooke to represent our alumnae.
CONDOLENCE AD
We have decided not to place a condolence ad as we know that Miss Cooke would rather have the money spent on sponsoring needy children to pursue further education. But if BBGSians in the media can help us publicise Miss Cooke's story, please pm us or email bbgsoga@gmail.com
DONATIONS
Miss Cooke's family has requested that all donations be channelled to the Elena Cooke Education Fund for needy students.
You can either make your donations at the memorial/funeral service or bank in your cash or cheque (made in favour of 'BBGS Alumni Berhad') online to:
BBGS Alumni Berhad
Maybank Berhad, Bank Account No: 5141 2316 6380
Please send your bank slip to fax: 03-6157 0191 or email bbgsoga@gmail.com with details of your name, telephone and email contacts.
