Dear Ex-Campionite,

It is that time of year again when we re-live old school memories and meet up with old friends / classmates at the event known as the ‘OCA Annual Dinner'. This is also a chance for us to meet a number of our old school teachers who have made us what we are today. I trust I will once again see a large contingent of Ex-Campionites at this year's Annual Dinner.

This year's dinner is being organised at Mayfair Rooms, Worli on 27 th February, 2004 from 8:00 p.m. onwards. Tickets have been priced at Rs. 500 / head and will include dinner, drinks, dances and loads of fun. This year we will be honouring Mr. Niranjan Hiranandani, a well-known personality in the field of construction, with the OCA Award for Excellence. I'm sure you will agree that he richly deserves this award for his contributions not only in the business world but also for his contributions in the area of social welfare.

During the year, we have resuscitated the OCA web site and also created a Yahoogroup ( oldcampionites@yahoogroups.com ) to help us keep in touch with one another via the internet. I urge you to register with the group at the earliest to keep abreast of OCA activities. To register, go to www.groups.yahoo.com/group/oldcampionites and search for the group and then click on the ADD ME TO GROUP button.

We have also updated our database based on feedback received from our members in earlier years. However, a lot of work still needs to be done. I would be thankful for any updations members are able to provide of their own addresses as well as those of their ex-classmates. A copy of the directory will be kept at the entrance on the day of the Dinner for you to peruse.

Over the years, our Annual Dinner has come to be an emotional and memorable occasion for all Ex-Campionites. I request you to kindly spread the word to all schoolmates you are in touch with. It would be very helpful if you could buy your tickets in advance as given planning constraints, we will only be able to sell a limited number of tickets at the counter on the day of the event. You may contact the following people to buy your tickets:

I look forward to seeing you there.

With warm regards,

Anil Bagri
Vice-President
