SHILLONG:
The Don Bosco Past Pupils Association will be holding their annual rally on September 11 from 9:30 AM onwards at Don Bosco Technical School, Laitumkhrah, Shillong.
Except for interruptions caused by restrictions on public gatherings on account of the Covid-19 pandemic, the annual rallies of the Don Bosco Past Pupils Association, founded in 1932, were faithfully held every second Sunday of September for the past ninety years.
According to the organisers, these rallies are also, for the alumni of Salesian Congregation run schools, occasions for recalling and reliving, albeit for a fleeting while, old memories of their bygone happy days in Salesian congregation of St John Bosco run schools.
According to the general secretary of the Don Bosco Past Pupils Association (DBPPA) Dominic K Warjri these “long established rallies are also occasions for enabling the past pupils to renew and re-echo the clarion call of their motto to “Know, Love, Help One Another and Keep United.”
Besides the working session, the programme for the day also includes the election of new office bearers of the association, chalking out possible programmes for the next one year, a common meal, and a variety musical programme.
