Reunion 2007 Delhi Chapter Dinner

Thank you to 49ers Yezad Kapadia and Jamshed Desai, as well as 64er Deepak Deshpande (Palmer) for this input.

Isn't to see how great our 49ers are keeping the school flag and our school spirit flying high, even as far as Delhi!

Dear Jacob,

As you are aware, the Delhi Chapter had organised our Founder's Day Dinner at Jamshed Desai's home. Jamshed had very kindly agreed to host the occassion.

The Dinner was very well attended - 24 of us old Cathedralites & spouses got together to celebrate !

On behalf of Yezad Kapadia, I am sending you herewith photographs of the Dinner, with a request that these may please be posted on your 'Seventh Heaven' blog.

I have also received two files, one which speaks of Sponsorship Opportunities for the Founders Day Dinner and the other which offers advertisement space in the Magazine which will be released at the time of Founders Day and will have a circulation of around 5000 alumni.

Contact me and I will send you these files.

I need volunteers who will attend the various events and rush me digital pictures for this Blog.

As you know "Seventh Heaven" is one of the oldest established web sites for our school and serves our alumni in all six continents. I have been pushing the nostalgia button for over 10 years. I have helped various years organise their reunions and have carried pictures and reunion reports of many of them.

Your help in getting the news out to those who are unable to be present in Mumbai at that time would be greatly appreciated.

Acknowledgements for all material contributed will be given.
