Welcome Vincentians!
How many times have you proudly said "I went/go to Vincent's"
Everytime I said it, it was well worth at least a Rupee. Do you Agree?
My check to the school is for Rs 1,00,000. What amount is on your check?
GIVING BACK to Vincents feels Grrrreat! PLEASE SPREAD THIS FEELING!
THE FIGURE ABOVE WILL BE UPDATED SOON! This document is intended to clarify issues related to the funds being collected for the swimming pool at St.Vincent’s High School Pune. The funds will be collected and utilized for the purposes mentioned below. The batch mates based in Pune will hold the primary responsibility for the entire process, with support from others, in the true spirit of St.Vincent’s. We, the batch of 82-84 vow to make this project a success and the pool a pride for the school.

AGENDA FOR REUNION
Beautifully Done by Gurudas Nulkar.
Memorandum of Understanding
The past students of St. Vincent’s high school Pune, belonging to the batch of 82-84(10th-12th) have decided to collect a sum of Rs. 50 lacs, through individual contributions. This corpus will be deposited in a bank and utilized for a specific purpose as described later. This fund will be named as “VIN-82”.
We propose to collect individual contributions upto 20th December 2007.
Since the utilization of these funds will be in the school, the batch mates based in Pune will have the primary responsibility to oversee the entire collection, safekeeping and proper utilization. Further, there will be ….. Trustees for simplifying the account handling.
This fund will be kept in a nationalized Indian bank of repute, till the funds have been used up for its intended purpose.
This bank account will be operated by the signatories Praful Chandavarkar, Farokh Irani and Ashok Harpalani. Cheques will be issued with all 3 signatures.
The primary objective of the fund is to donate a sum of 50 lakhs to the school for the construction of a swimming pool in the school.
A part of this fund will also be distributed among the needy teachers who have taught us during our time. The beneficiaries and the amount will be decided by consensus on the 29th December.
If the school board does not get permission for constructing the swimming pool, or for any other reason the pool does not seem possible, the funds may be used for other benevolent purposes, directly related to St.Vincent’s High School Pune only.
Some ideas for this are (but not limited to) :
>>Scholarship fund
>>Aircon for Gulati hall
>>Computer lab up gradation
>>Increments for new teachers
More ideas for this are welcome from the group.
The funds once deposited in the selected bank will not be used for any commercial purpose other than the ones stated here. These funds will not be applied to any speculative monetary gains like stocks, mutual funds or similar. The funds in part or entirety may however be kept in fixed deposit scheme of the same selected bank.
It is assumed that the individual contributes towards this fund in support of the idea behind the fund, and that once a contribution is made, it will not be called back by the individual.
The funds may require periodic disbursement. The disbursements at various stages will be informed to all the contributors via the Yahoo groups. It is not required to take a consensus every time, since that would delay the proceedings. The 3 signatories of the fund will keep notes of this every time any contribution is made.
There will be no audit of the funds. However, all money that comes in and which goes out, will be duly recorded by the core group and made available on the Yahoo Groups, periodically.
In exceptional circumstances, the above points of understanding may be deviated from, only after informing all the contributors of the deviation, and getting a positive reply from at least 70% of the respondees.

ADVERTISING IN LOCAL NEWSPAPERS!
As many of our batchmates are untraceable, do you think it may make sense in giving a small ad in some of Pune's leading dailies where if not the batchmates their relatives atleast sight it and can provide their contact info.
8cms X 10 cms. Ad would cost Rs. 50,000 and be in the following papers Times of India, Sakal, Maharashtra Herald & Ind Exp. Either a sponsor or from the pool - would mean the same as it would go to add to the bottom line. What do you guys think is it a good idea or not?
This great Idea comes from Manoj Nair. No offers submitted yet!
