The first get-together of ESAC took place on the 4th of Nov, 2007 at the Canossa School Hall. Around 45 ex-students, from batches as far back as 1968 to the current batch of 2007, came together to meet old friends and reminisce old memories.
The evening kicked-off with the felicitation of Sr. Jessie, the Principal and Sr. Clarine, the Superior and Manager of the School. Ms. Letticia (representing the teachers) and a few Canossian Sisters graced the event as well. In keeping with true Canossian tradition, we lit the Samai, to mark the auspicious inaugration of the Association. Sr. Jessie then enlightened us with the rich history of Canossa; this year being the 200th anniversary of the Institution and the 75th anniversary of Canossa High School, Mahim.
The ESAC Logo & Motto was then unveiled by Sr. Clarine. This was followed by the singing of the School Anthem, which made us quite nostalgic. Edith D'Souza then introduced the Association, highlighting its goals and future plans. Ms. Sheryl Dalgado, our compere, brightened up the evening with her anecdotes.
It was then time to stretch our legs and get ready for a few games!!! The "Human Housie" helped us to get to know each other better, while the "Tagline Quiz" forced us to tickle our grey cells. After the winners were given their prizes, Samiksha Neroorkar delivered the Vote of Thanks. By now we had worked up quite an appetite, which was satiated by the delicious refreshments. The event ended with a lot of clicks & flashes as everyone captured the memories of this wonderful evening.
