CHRONICLE OF THE PAULITES OF BELGAUM WORLDWIDE (PBW) GRAND REUNION 4-5 DEC 2010
The PBW 2010 GRAND REUNION 4-5 DEC 2010 was conceptionalised, planned and executed by a small group of ‘promoters’ consisting of Paulites in Belgaum, who gave freely of their resources of time, effort and even finance, to bring about this event within an incredible three months. Most of them had never met before and they came from different batches with one common thread … being Paulites!
This group of 10 Paulites instantly put down a contribution of Rs 9,100/- towards initial expenditure for the project, taking the responsibility and the risk of making the event an overwhelming success. A Core Committee was formed and work in earnest commenced mid-August 2010 with bi-weekly meetings, one lasting a marathon 7 hours. The vision was simple to give all the enthusiastic Paulites - worldwide and across different batches - an opportunity to meet, interface and get to know each other on the hallowed grounds of our beloved alma mater.
A highly discounted attendance fee of Rs 500/- for Paulites / Rs 250/- for spouses / Rs 150/- for child was levied to ensure that ALL Paulites could afford to attend and be a part of the celebration (a few not-so-financially-fortunate Paulites were even admitted free of charge). The registration and fund collection drive was jump-started by the Class of ’85 with a contribution of Rs 101,000/-. That spurred other batches to organise collections of their own and eventually Class donations alone amounted to Rs 227,000/- (Rs 51,000/- yet to be realised).
Other passionate Paulites came forward with their own individual donations and contributions in addition to the participation fee
Despite all odds and working with an uncertain budget, the organisers provided
• Food (Rs 352,500):o 2 light breakfastso 2 five-course luncheso 1 gala seven-course dinner• Gifts, flowers and felicitation to (Rs 64,725):o All current teachers and admin staff (65)o Senior retired teachers (16)• Sterling silver awards and citation as “Knights of St Paul’s” to (Rs 36,500):o Outstanding Paulite Achievers (6)• Multicultural entertainment across age barriers:o Expense related (Rs 253,700):Infrastructure (stage and backdrop, posters, banners, hoardings, art work, logo, etc)Fire dancers from TanzaniaA Hindi pop-singing group from HubliPhoto and video Security provisionso Complimentary services provided by Paulites (see: ”Credits & Acknowledgements Annexure 6”)a rock group NH4 (comprising ex-students)media coverage in the local and national press and on IN TV ticker cultural performances (by current students in school)a fireworks displaypomegranate juice as a welcome drink on opening dayevent management team (comprising local college students)o Even gas balloons for the little ones• Stationery, Printing, Posters, Banners, & Miscellaneous (Rs 112,456)• Complimentaries – Jumbo photo & Event DVD (Rs 46,821)
Major revenues for the event were realised from Participation fees, Class and individual Paulite donations, and souvenir advertisements and amounted to Rs 15.3 lakhs and expenses totalled Rs 8.4 lakhs, leaving a surplus of Rs 6.6 lakhs ( Rs 191,000 yet to be realised )
The Grand Reunion was a phenomenal success with over 1350 Paulites - local, across the country and overseas - attending the gala evening on 4th Dec 2010. Along with their families and guests, which included the current teachers and admin staff of the school and senior retired teachers, the total gathering was well over 1800!
5th Dec included the Assembly and flag hoisting carried out by a Paulite from the 1947 batch followed by sports and games. Three Paulites, besides spending the day on 4th Dec on campus, spent the entire night at the printers to ensure that the souvenir of the event was made available for the Paulites, with pictures of the gala evening, on the Day of the event itself. The souvenir also contained a Directory of contact details of 1800+ ex-students for Paulites to interface with. The Grand Reunion concluded after lunch on 5th Dec 2010.
RATIONALE FOR PBW ‘s SURPLUS FUNDS DISBURSAL
PBW’s mission statement has, from the start, clearly been service to:• Paulites• School• Community Outreach
In view of St Paul’s calling for a meeting to launch the official OBA on 17th Sept, the PBW Working Committee met on 13th Sept 2011 to finalise disbursement of surplus funds presently in the bank account. Dinesh Patel pointed that the school is a 150-year institution and the OBA will be affiliated to the JAAI alumni body of the Jesuit institutions (worldwide Jesuit institution which is over 400 years old) and it would be preferable to entrust the monies to this “institution” rather than in the hands of a group of Paulites who may have conflict of interests. The following was then agreed upon:Rs 4,50,000/- be given to the OBA with a clear mandate for utilisation of funds as follows:• Rs 200,000/- be used for Belgaum Community Outreach, irrespective of religion, caste, creed. {this is in addition to Rs 11,001/- already donated to Swamy Vivekanand Seva Pratisthan, an NGO orphanage, for the purchase of a library almirah.• Rs 150,000/- (+Rs 51,000/- has already been given to the school) be utilised for St Paul’s school requirements. Principal to decide on wish list.• Rs 100,000/- to be in favour of the OBA (OBA Managers to utilise according to their wisdom).Receivables pending and amount to Rs 191,000/-, which when realised may be added to the OBA, again for utilisation as the OBA Managers see fit.In totality, this amounts to Rs 692,000/-, which includes Rs51,000/- already given to the school + Rs 450,000/- now + Rs 191,000/- to be recovered.
This letter chronicling the Paulites of Belgaum Worldwide Grand Reunion of Dec 2010, along with attachments, accompanies a bankers draft for Rs 450,000/- and is being handed over to St Paul’s school Principal, Fr Roland Coelho in the hope that it will remain in the official OBA records of St Pauls’ for PBW posterity.

Dear Paulites,I extend my most profound n grateful Thanks to all the Parents n Past students who made the Memorandum possible.
Cheer Boys, Cheer.............!
"Harassment has no boundariesas was evidenced by the recent vulgar display by individuals from the ministry of education at the time honoured and premier school" St Paul's High School " in Belgaum. For reasons which seem obvious the BEO Mr Pundalik has resorted to harassing the institute and the principal more than what is considered usual (which in itself is a terrible thing) by "raiding" the school without providing any explanations in regard to a notice which was in the form of 6 alleged irregularities which being flimsy to begin with had already been answered with all supporting documents. To add insult to injury the BEO had the temerity to even sit down in the hallowed seat of the principal himself. This is totally unacceptable to the parents of students and the ex students who have raised a hue and cry and will force the issue to ensure that individuals with vested interests will not get away with this as it even besmirches the name of the ministry itself. The principal Rev father Roland Coelho addressed a gathering of irate parents and teachers under the banner of PTA and ex students under the banner of PBW and assured them that the issue will be taken up with the concerned authorities and both the PTA and PBW have vowed to stand united behind him to follow the matter to its conclusion. This type of misuse of position must be stopped"
