Hello Everybody!
It time once again to update you on what we are up to.
The first event of the year was our Annual Reunion on the 11th February 2006.
The theme this year was 'Yesterday Once More'. Every Table was named after one of the
'Houses' like 'Mary Ward', 'Kennedy', 'Gandhi' etc. We discovered that a long time ago there had also been an
'Ashoke' house, so that was included too. Every table was also decorated with a paper model of a nun dressed in the old Habit, which fetched much comment. There were small scrolls with a sketch of Loreto House as it was in 1842 along with a brief write up, which every one took home as souvenirs. There were games and quizzes followed by a delicious tea catered by
Flury's, courtesy of the ever-generous Paul family.
Then, on the 17th June 2006, we held our
AGM. After the official procedures and speeches were over, the meeting ended with yet another delicious Tea. |

Next came the Panel Discussion held on the 24th June 2006.
The topic was ' Globalisation Threatens a Nations Culture and Values
'. The speakers were Mr.S.M. Devadasan, Mr. Rudrangshu
Mukherji, Dr. Kunal Sarkar, Ms.Krishna Sen, Ms. Rita
Bhimani, and Ms. Sudeshna Roy. The Moderator was Chief Justice V. S.
Sirpurkar. Everyone had a great deal to say, and the evening was enjoyed by all.
Our Alumnae Association now has many companions. Loreto College has formed an active association, as has Loreto Darjeeling. Within Kolkata too, the various Loretos have become active.
Sr. Carmella the Mother Superior of Loreto House is in the process of forming a Loreto Alumnae, Kolkata. This will include representatives from all the alumnae associations in Kolkata. It is due to be launched on the 23rd January 2007.If you are in Kolkata at the time, do come. For details, please contact Mother Superior Loreto
House.
As you know, we have donated a challenge cup and a silver medal, to be awarded annually to the student with best academic results in the I.C.S.C. board exams. This year, it was won by Srijata Ray Choudhury, who achieved 97% and came second in West Bengal. Our warmest congratulations to her, and to all Loreto teachers and students past and
present....We are still right up there !
