Dear Old-Boys and Batch Coordinators,

I regret that we did not include this message in the previous email. The OBA-USA, has setup a LinkedIn page to connect Old Boys in the US. As batch-coordinators, you are likely to have the most recent information about your batch mates and their whereabouts in the US. Please forward this to your class mailing lists/OBs you may be in touch with, so we can extend our network with several US OBs. 

This group will be open to all SJBHS Alumni, however, the messaging, events and overall focus will be limited to the USA.

Purpose and Primary Objectives:
- CONNECT established Old Boys with recently graduated Old Boys to provide mentoring and guidance
- FIND local Old Boys
- POST JOBS and assist alumni through the application process
- ORGANIZE networking & social events
- ESTABLISH an advisory committee for entrepreneurial ventures
- COMMUNICATE and drive purpose, objectives, and other agenda of the OBA USA Chapter

If you are an Old Boy residing in the US, please show your support for the school and join us at :

https://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=8288101&trk=anet_ug_hm

Sincerely,

OBA-USA

Dear Old-Boys and Batch Coordinators,

The school year is drawing to an end and we have another batch of students entering our ranks as freshly minted Old Boys. We're sure you remember those mixed feelings of leaving school, completing ICSE exams and the possibilities of life in a co-ed college ahead! Here at OBA USA we have met a few times over the past year, regaled each other with school yarns and thoughts of Abu's mutton samosas. 

On a serious note, Rajesh Kheny with his tireless passion has led the US OBA team for the past few years and has recently decided to pass on the mantle. We would like to thank him for his foundational efforts and the vision he has provided. Our newly formed 2015 USA OBA team is keen on furthering our engagement with school and reconnecting with more OBs across the US. 

As batch-coordinators and OBs in the USA, you are likely to have the most recent information about your batch mates and their whereabouts in the US. Please forward this to your class mailing lists/OBs you may be in touch with, so we can extend our network with several US sub-chapters. Please have them reach out to us by replying to kamran....@gmail.com or jdhi...@gmail.com. 

Update your contact details at the OBA website here

Please join us at the LinkedIn OBA USA chapter

Warm Regards,

Gautam Ijoor - OBA USA lead (Class of '89) 

& Dhivakar Janarthanan - OBA USA Communications (Class of '97)

PS: We are also organizing a tail-gate at the upcoming AR Rahman concert in Wolftrap, Virginia near Washington D.C. on May 29th. The rumour is he will be singing 'Faith and Toil' if we get a decent turnout - please spread the word to your batchmates in the area.
