Bunsums and Hodsons made memories and reconnections! On Saturday,15 September 2018 , sixty-one of us met for lunch at the Urban Spice restaurant in Newark, California—forty-seven OS and fourteen significant others (including four children). OS had flown in from Seattle, Washington D.C., Boston and Atlanta to attend the West Coast chapter reunion. The excitement was palpable and the sound of OS voices got louder and louder as the afternoon progressed.
The gathering was an informal California-style get together where we relived our Sanawarian days while establishing connections for the future. Kumkum Bhasin, (HGD’67) emphasized in her speech that it is important to establish a strong OS network so that we can mentor younger OS and also respectfully reach out to each other.
Our thanks to Harry Gill (V82) for surveying the OS, Alok Bal (SBD’80) for setting up the location, Kumkum for being the driving force behind the organization committee and for personally encouraging so many OS to attend, Neela (Deva) Paniz (NGD’63) for making the baskets that we raffled, and the rest of the organization committee for their work in planning the event. We were able to collect $200 that will be sent as a donation for the school.
Kudos to the batch of 95, for showing up in full force. Our senior-most OS was Rajinder (Bhasin) Sahani, (NGD’59) and the junior-most, Saishruti Mutneja, (HGD’12). The 1970s had the weakest representation. Maybe whispers of next year’s reunion being in Las Vegas will draw out a few more of us from the ‘70s batches.
Congratulations to Jaspi Sandhu (NBD’80) on becoming the West Coast Chapter Coordinator!
