The grand ThomianWalkathon
The
Old Boys' Association of S. Thomas' College Mount Lavinia is celebrating
130 years of its formation this year.
It is perhaps the oldest Alumni Association in the world with a
recorded history.
As a preliminary to the series of events planned to mark this
milestone, the Special Events Committee is organising a 'Walkathon'
which will be held on Saturday, November7, commencing from Havelock Park
at 3.00 p.m., with the participation of students and old boys of STC Mt
Lavinia, Colpetty, Gurutalawa, Bandarawela, as well as parents and well
wishers.
The 'Walkathon' which is due to commence from Havelocks Sports Club
grounds would proceed along Dickman's Road, Duplication Road, Galle Road
and will end at a Hawker Street Mini Carnival at S. Thomas' College Mt
Lavinia around 6.00 p.m. where there will be bands, food stalls, games
of skill and other attractions.
Funds collected from the 'Walkathon' will be in aid of the 2nd Phase
of the 'Senior Quadrangle Project' launched with the objective of
providing modern classrooms and other related modern facilities for the
students of STC. Picture shows the handing over of the first 'Walkathon'
T-shirt to the Warden, Rev. Marc Billimoria by Shirendra Lawrence, Chief
Executive Officer of MAS Active, which sponsored the T-shirts for the
event. (Pictured L to R -Ashiq Lafir, the Warden, Shirendra Lawrence,
