Now it may come as a surprise to many (given the regular booze and cheap talks), the boys have actually agreed (at the recent Deepavali dinner) to form a committee to raise fund for charity. For lack of a better name, I've named it the Caring & Sharing Committee (feel free to suggest others). The committee comprises the following:
Chairman - Donald De Rozario
President - Dr. Silva
Vice-President - Muniandy
Secretary - Basil
Treasurer - Tan Ban Keat
Auditor - Canaga
Sub-Committee Members:
Mano
Ragu
Clarence
Lim Hee Keong
The minutes of the first meeting had been recorded but yet to be circulated to the rest of the boys. Obviously, our secretary is working hard on deciphering his written minutes from the paper napkin that he wrote on. I'm sure the boys are very understanding to the secretary's busy schedule as well. In the same vein, the president will be calling for the first committee meeting "shortly" (no definition of what that means).
Seriously though at this juncture, it should also be mentioned that a few of the boys had recently started the ball rolling by collecting a sum of RM140 from a lunch gathering. In light of the formation of the committee, I'll be passing the collected amount to the new treasurer. It is our hope that this idea of caring and sharing receives the full support and momentum from the boys. And let the world know that the LSBC76 is not just about being happy and merry but also caring and sharing.
The La Salle Brickfields will be producing its Year Book (2005) before this year end. As it was brought to our attention, the boys decided to support the school by sponsoring a full page of the Year Book for RM800. The page contains information regarding the LSBC76 as well as its Caring and Sharing cause. The recent death of our friend, Raj and the subsequent rally to donate in his name had certainly inspired many of us to do more.
