Planned Get Together of 1988 Batch

Its heartening to know that alumni of 1988 pass out batch of our school are planning for a get together on 19 Jun 2010. Its a big step which will go a long way in augmenting our association strength. If every batch were to organise such get togethers it will become so much more easier. Its desired that from every batch a couple of persons become the points men for their respective batch. An equal participation from the ladies should also be encouraged. The interest is picking up among the alumni and gaining steam. May this trend grow in to a movement.

A Good Precursor

The old students had a gathering on 06 Jun 2010, for a small meeting. Being a sunday, most of them could make it to the meeting called at our school. Though the purported purpose of the meeting wasn't fully achieved, the attendance was a precursor to the scale of Re-union we are going to have.

Though only 50 old students were expected, this number got crossed easily. The attendees' names and contact numbers have been noted down for future use. The large presence for the meeting is a big achievement for the alumni association. Since old students from various batches turned up, both old and new, they didn't know each other. Everyone got busy with their own batch friends. Getting all of them in one frequency didn't happen. Also a strong anchor in the form of a show manager didn't arise amongst us. We shall take this as a lesson learnt, for the future.

Since nobody is adept at managing this kind of get-together, the expected outcome in the form of healthy deliberations didn't happen. The excitement of the youngsters who had come in big numbers was high, when they got to see their friends. This is a good sign, but we must also see that the primary purpose of the meeting is met.

During the grand Re-union in August 2010, we will move with definite plans. We shall all strive together to make it a big success. Of-course the excitement would be on a larger scale, but that shouldn't hamper the programme. We are planning to honour our teachers both present and past. During that time, discipline and good order should be maintained to facilitate the formal part of the get together.

Afterwards, there would be tea and snacks and that's the time everyone can let their hair down and have a blast. There would be no minders for discipline during this time, as long as we don't become a nuisance to others. Enjoy and let enjoy, that should be the spirit.

Lets hope we make the Re-union a grand success by our active participation.

Registration in the Offing

You guys would be quite glad to know that your Alumni Association will be formally registered in few weeks time. Lack of co-ordination has cost us with lot of wasted time. This sunday on 06 Jun 2010 exactly at 4PM, a meeting is scheduled at our school premises to deliberate on various topics in relation to the registration of our association.

If you can spare a few hours this coming sunday, please do attend the meeting. Even last sunday, a few people were called for initial discussions in regard to same topic, but the numbers that attended were pathetically minimal. Enough efforts have been taken to avoid this kind of bungled up meetings. Lets hope most of the old students make it this time.

A lack of integration of ideas have been our bane for quite long now. Everyone has ideas, but though there is platform in place to share, the strong will is missing. Any organisation cannot run with one or two individuals. That will never serve any purpose. Let each one of us not think ourselves as one among the crowd. There is nothing known as "someone else". That usage is the undoing of any kind of association.
