REUNION GROUP 2022 ~ Lukhendro Keisham

After two years of pandemic break we had the annual gathering of ReUnion Group for the year 2022 on 17th July at Munpi Park located near Sadu Chiru Village from Tiddim Road. The day began with a tree plantation activity at the venue itself. All participating members planted atleast one sapling each.

The formal function began with a keynote address by Mr. Nilamani Thoudam followed by a silent condolence prayer in memory of Late Mr. Bikram Moirangtham who passed away on 18th June, 2022. He was an active member of the group and is survived by his wife and two little kids. Earlier the group donated Rs.30,000/- to the family for the irreversible loss.

As a mark of respect to the seniormost member in the group Mr. Shyam Lourembam was given a special welcome aplause with a ceremonial shawl and the presidium chair of the day. Mr. Ithoiba Potshangbam presented the current financial status of the group. Apart from hosting the gathering as an experimental amcee I, Mr. Lukhendro Keisham brought forward and shared the future action plans for the group. First, in order to record the exact number of active members a refresher registration process will be taken up. And second, to pave a sustainable future for the group a project titled, "PROJECT HOME" was announced. It is a year long project where the ReUnion Group plans to own an immovable land property. After the announements the mandatory self introduction session of ReUnion Group begins. Here members come forward, self introduce themselves and express their opinions and feelings to rest of the group. Finally a short vote of thanks from Mr. Nilamani Thoudam and the formal function comes to a close. But the day was just getting started.

After a swift group photo session it was time for the happy hour. This year anyone singing onstage was backed by professional musicians which the group had hired. While few sang their heart out other set down to relax and admire the moment. Lunch was served in between. Apart from tree plantation, formal function, photo session, music, outdoor cooking and the luncheon event T - shirt, badge and stickers for all participating members were also arranged.
