Here are some Frequently asked Questions regarding the Alumni event
Frequently Asked Questions
More information will be updated here or the main sections of the site
1. Where is the assembly point for the event and what time should we be there?
Bryant Park (42nd Street between 5th and 6th Avenues), at 2:00PM SHARP. This location is central and
offers a scenic spot for tourists to start their tours. So you can also opt to be there early and take a tour
around the area. We might have some pre-event activity like free coffee
2. Can we bring family and/or friends to the event?
While we would love to accommodate everyone's plus-ones or families, unfortunately, we are unable to do so at this time. Due to limited resources and manpower, we are focused on planning an event that allows us to reconnect with fellow alumni across different batches in a safe and enjoyable way. Thus we are making this event for CCS alumni only.
We understand that some alumni may bring their families to the city, but they typically make alternative arrangements during the event itself. For instance, they might spend the morning with their families and then have their spouses look after the children while they attend the alumni gathering.
We truly appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you at the event!
3. Will there be transportation for going back to the assembly point?
Transportation is included with your registration fee. This covers the NYC tour bus as well as transportation to the event. Return transportation to Manhattan will also be provided, and we are considering two departure times: one for early departure and one for late departure.
4. We want to make a separate donation for the scholarship fund. How do we do that?
You may send your donation via the Zelle or Venmo QR codes (available on the registration page). Please include "Scholarship Donation" as the description when making your payment. After sending, kindly email info@ccsalumniassociation.org to confirm your donation.
If you are outside the US and would like to donate to the scholarship fund, please contact info@ccsalumniassociation.org for further instructions.
5. Who shall we contact if we have specific concerns?
We will publish the names of the official representatives per batch as well as their contact numbers.
They will be the point persons for each batch for everything concerning the event.
For now you can email info@ccsalumniassociation.org for questions
6. Why is the NYC tour and the Party event separate?
New York City is an expensive place, especially for large events. While we wanted to hold the entire party in New York City, we are limited by our budget. One part of the event will still take place in Manhattan—the New York City Party Bus Tour.
However, after reviewing the costs, we realized that we don't have enough funds to host the reunion party in Manhattan while also raising money for the scholarship fund.
Fortunately, we have secured a sponsor who will cover most of the costs, though the main event will be held at a different location. All expenses have been accounted for, including transportation.
Our main goal, aside from bringing everyone together for the reunion, is to raise funds for our Scholarship Program. This will ensure that deserving students, who aspire to an education but lack the means, can still achieve their dreams.
