 Message from the Patron
Greetings to all Old Springdalians as we enter the threshold of our Golden Jubilee Year 2005. On Sept 1st we shall be completing 50 years in the life of Springdales - a historic milestone in our history.
A wide variety of programmes are being organised throughout the year both by the school and OSA: starting with a Grand Opening Ceremony at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Februrary 6th 2005 and the
Pre-Jubilee Carnivals in December this year. Springdales is your school and we want every Old Springdalian to actively participate in these celebrations and to make the year a truly memorable one which will go down in the annuals of the school.
The dates of the various programmes will be posted on the OSA website very shortly so that you can make your plans to be with us for any or all of the events taking place during the year. Please also send in reminiscences, anecdotes articles and photographs about your school life or your life after school for inclusion in the OSA “Nostalgia” volume. With thousands of Springdalians living and working in all parts of the world this is the time to start networking and connecting with each other and organising OSA Chapters in your respective cities, regions and countries. If you are not yet a member of OSA become one now. You can register on the web site. Be in touch with the new OSA leadership for 2004-2006 whose contact information is included.
By your active involvement and Springdalian spirit make 2005 a truly Golden Year.
Warm Greetings to you all.

 Greetings from the President
On the behalf of the Apex & Governance Committees of the OSA I extend to you my warm greetings. Over the past few years our Association has matured into a strong & vibrant family sharing common goals & values. From small group fellowships on school Birthdays, fetes & the sporting meets, OSA has expanded its ambit of activities to meaningful community service projects, educational & career development programmes for students, health checkup camps and a diverse range social & cultural activities. Last year under the stewardship of Mrs. Jyoti Bose, OSA organized a very successful fund raising programme. EUPHORIA where Palash Sen & his group kept the audience cheering & dancing for nearly three hours.
To commemorate the memory one of our outstanding & talented members, Pradeep Roy, whose untimely demise shocked all of us. OSA organised the first ever “Inter-school Choir Festival” which was a memorable event & we propose to make it an annual feature. In March 2004, OSA celebrated our patron Mrs Rajni Kumar’s 80th birthday at the Claridges Hotel, New Delhi. It was a fun-filled afternoon with everyone in high sprits, a lavish buffet and a lively band playing all time favorites. On the threshold of the Golden Jubilee year OSA has planned several events spread throughout 2005. The dates will be on this website shortly under the title “FORTHCOMING PROGRAMMES”. All of us would be delighted to welcome you & your families to these programmes. There is an well-designed & comfortable OSA room at Dhaula Kaun where you can call Ms. Jyoti Behl to give you any information about OSA membership and programmes. The list of Apex and Governance Committee and database of the members is also on the site. Do click & look for your batchmates. If you are not a member why don’t you register online right away. This website will be updated periodically & we invite you to visit it often and offer your Suggestions to make it more meaningful, informative and interactive.
With my warm personal regards,
RAJIV GUJRAL
PRESIDENT, 2004-06 |
