Dear Captain & Crew - “Vishwa Samunder Sundri” ,
What a performance – show!!
Wow!!
I as president of SCOF salute you for the xllent show that you put up to entertain SCOF memberships and made the evening a great success.
My special thanks to Director Poonam Vaidya for writing-directing and finally getting together a great skit. Poonam without your leadership and dedication it would have not been possible.
Thanks you ladies.
Now SCOF knows which direction to sail for entertainment skills.
Cheers!!

TO :
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE - SCOF
ATTN : Poonam
Dear Poonam,
Thanks for these detailed comments and observations. I would like
to commend
you for the wonderful job you have done in creating the
skit and equally
wonderful job done by all the participants in
bringing out and conveying your
thoughts and imaginations.
A
big thanks for taking up on my request. Only one small ( rather a real
big
one) complaint I have is - that you end with sending hugs and
kisses to the
ladies and Megha only. Men are not allergic to those -
han!
Take care.

Subject: Re: SCOF PLAY - SAMUNDER SAMUDRI NOW ON UTUBE
!!!
Hi Actors, and helpers:
I just saw
the entire play yesterday on video for the first time. And I am still
smiling.
I wanted to say that I am very grateful and happy with how
well our comedy skit
turned out.
All of the actors and
supporting team did an exceptional job in acting, dialog delivery, stage
movements, handling of microphones.
I thank all of you for the
significant time commitment to attending rehearsals,
and memorizing
lines, and patience in accepting suggestions from the director.
Thanks to Jot, Nitin and Capt. Mahajan for providing eapulettes, props,
coordination support, creating and downloading music clips, creating
CDs, DVDs, prompting, and ongoing moral support.
Thanks to Kitty,
Preeti, Jinobia, Sarita and Sangeeta for hosting rehearsals on
weekends and excellent food/tea service.
Thanks to ladies for
pitching in and buying "hatke" uniforms and looking so businesslike yet
so glamorous. (The bonus is that we added sparkle into our marriages.
All husbands must
be happy with the wives. Ha ha.)
Megha
thank you for adding the bubbly youthful ingredient. I heard some
positive
audience response in "Mujhko thand lag rahi hai." I am sure
Mom-Dad-Biraj must be happy.
All the actors did good sashaying and
swaying in the background as Megha dan
ced to her various clips.
Audience also seemed to be enjoying the last "
Uthe sabke adam."
Pratima, thank you for being so sporting. I believe people enjoyed the
item number "Kajra mohobbat wala" because I heard good feedback from
audience for that in the video soundtrack.
As for me, I love
doing all this entertainment stuff, so a big, bigthanks to Capt. Mahajan
for asking me to do it and having the confidence in me, and to
Jot-Kitty, and SCOF EC for giving me and the ladies a chance to "show
our jalwa."
Hugs and kisses to all ladies and Megha! And regards and
thanks to the men.

SCOF & the TFC thanks all our sponsors - much appreciate it !

To our Generous Supportive Sponsors,
On behalf of the Samunder Club of Florida I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all, our very generous sponsors, who have come forward to support the cricket efforts of the SCOF team. I hereby extend a very warm welcome to the Len Hoskinson, Deepak Matta, John Arthur (Ravenscroft), Ravi Mehta, Bharat Madan (DNV), Neeraj Thapar and Farhat Imam (Resolve Marine Group) and other employees from these organizations to attend the event on March 28th which will be played in a $80 million cricket stadium which I called “Field of Dreams”.
As I said last year in The Friendship Cup 1 tournament President’s letter to TFC, we may not have cricket fields in the ocean but, do not ever underestimate “Hum Shippies Florida Ke Spirit”. This year a fortunate turn of events will allow us to play in the finals.
Companies and brief summary of items sponsored are:
- Resolve Marine Group - an entire professional cricket kit (which would include bats, pads, gloves, helmets, wk. pads and gloves etc.)
- Det Norske Veritas (DNV) - uniforms.
- Ravenscroft will underwrite a portion to TFC II and the balance sponsorship will go to SCOF cricket fund.
Once again on behalf of our cricket team we thank you and would love to see you all there cheering us on as we aim to reach the pinnacle and make you all proud.
Sincerely,
Neville Dias, President SCOF - Vice Capt. and wk. keeper SCOF team

Cricket - Saturday 14th March - Inter-Association Tournament
Dear SCOF members,
March 14, came and went like any other day does, but, it left a lasting memory on those who were present at that occasion. If you do not believe me, ask all those SCOF families who graced the picnic and stayed right to the very end cheering and celebrating the success of the SCOF cricket team in the “Friendship Cup”. I would like to thank all those who came and supported the SCOF team. I would also like to take the opportunity to say a very special thank you to Vinod Gulati who was the mastermind of this event and worked tirelessly to see us through the end even postponing his planned holiday.
As I had mentioned in my President’s write up to the Friendship Cup tournament “As you know there are no cricket fields in the ocean. However, I ask that you do not underestimate the Hum Shippies Florida Ke Spirit”. The old SCOF “Pirates” once again put aside their rum and whiskey and put on a tremendous display of power cricket to overcome a young and passionate Sindhi Association team in the semifinals to make it through to the finals. On behalf of SCOF members I thank the cricket players who have been coming for practices during the past month and for winning the runners-up medals in the tournament. I am listing the names of the SCOF players who were responsible for making this happen. Please take the time to congratulate them.
