Please pass the word on to any Britto "old boy" you might know. We look forward to making any of the Saligao old boys members too. All alumni (and families), do make it if you can on Aug 11, 2012.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Miguel Braganza <[email protected]> Date: 28 July 2012 00:17 Subject: Britto's OBA: AGM, Whist Drive and QUIZ QUEST-4 Dear members of Britto's OBA and BOBs who would like to join in, The Britto's OBA will mark the successful completion of six years of its life [2006-2012] with a Thanksgiving Eucharistic Celebration at 6.00 P.M. followed by the Annual General body Meeting [AGM] at 7.15 P.M. and the traditional family Get together for members along with the Jesuit community of St. Britto at Mapusa on Saturday 11 August, 2012. 6.00 P.M. Eucharistic Celebration at school chapel. [Coordinated by BOB Charles D'Souza] 7.15 P.M. Members attend AGM, family members have games in school hall. [Coordinated by President & Secretary] 8. 00 P.M. Common activity for members and families with Jesuit community. [Coordinated by BOB Allwyn Vaz] 9.00 P.M. Fellowship dinner [Coordinated by BOB Roque Carvalho] [Please reply to "Miguel Braganza" <[email protected]>, to confirm participation and inform number of family members attending so that the food catering is done accordingly] We are happy that a large number of BOBs have joined as members of the Britto's OBA over the past 12 months and invite those BOBs who are yet to join, specially those residing in Goa, to show their "belonging" and be a part of this alumni association Life membership is just Rs.2,000/- and Student membership for up to 7 years after SSC is a mere Rs.200/- ... and it entitles you to an annual fellowship dinner with wife and children, free entry for self, partner and school-going children to the Britto's OBA Xmas Ball [this year with A-26 and Forefront in attendance] and a right to vote or be a candidate for elections to the Managing Committee next year. We have had one Britto's OBA subsidized family outing this year and hope to have more in the coming years using the interest from the "Corpus Fund" fixed deposits made of membership fees. The "Projects & Activities" account has now been separated to ensure that funds raised from community events go back to build the community and that funds from members go back to the members who contribute their time and skills to build the association and the school. There will be a Whist Drive on Independence Day, 15 August, 2012. Look up Allwyn Vaz on Face Book for updates. The Britto's QUIZ QUEST-4 will be held on Saturday 08 September, 2012. Incidentally, the Managing Committee met on 26 July, the feast day of St. Anne, the grandmother of Jesus, and 08 Sept. happens to be the feast of Mount Mary or Bandra fest. The annual Quiz Quest is for the BOB Valerio Carvalho Memorial Rolling Trophy and is sponsored by his wife, Queenie, and son BOB Roque Carvalho. Our Lady of Grace HS, Dona Paula, is the defending champion with St. Anthony HS Monte de Guirim as first runner-up and Fr. Agnelo HS, Pilar, as the second runner-up. The Britto's Ivan Rocha Quiz Initiative [BIRQI] proposed by BOB Frederick Noronha at the AGM last year is yet to convert from words to action. We look forward to the Ruby Anniversary celebrations of the 1975 batch of SSC [New Course] being coordinated by BOB Louis D'Souza ["Boxer"] from Saligao now based Down Under in Australia. It is for the Christmas of 2014 but he has already set the ball rolling by enrolling as a Patron Member of Britto's OBA and encouraging his classmates to join in. Unfortunately, his classmate BOB Joseph Lobo aka "Charlton" who would have loved to coordinate such an event, no more walks this Earth. I will do it on his behalf. After all, Charlton was my student mentor in High School and HSS. His BOB brothers, Jerome and Joaquim, and son Brendon, are not yet members of the Britto's OBA. Non-member BOBs are still the majority among the living and the dead. The latter have no opportunity to enroll. We have no branches outside Mapusa. The Sacred Heart High School, Parra, of which the Mapusa branch was renamed as St. Britto HS when the management was taken over by the Society of Jesus from Don Caetano Menezes [read "Transition Stage:Sacre Heart to St. Britto HS" by BOB Bonifacio Carrasco, SSC of 1951; "My Old Sacred Heart and St. Britto HS Days" by BOB Jorge de Abreu Noronha, SSC of 1951 ; and "Building a new St. Britto Campus" by Fr. Ubaldo D'Sa as told to Mr. Narayan S. Bhadti in the BRITTO'S RETRO book of student memories] celebrates its Centenary Year [1912-2012] and will be organizing a Plant Show from 1 to 3 September, 2012. BOBs are invited by the celebration committee to be a part of the celebrations of the "Mother School" of St. Britto HS, Mapusa.
