TAS FOUNDATION NEWS<br />
This term for the Foundation was particularly special because we celebrated the 100th birthday<br />
of our oldest Old Boy, Mr Lionel Cohen and at the same time launched the new Bell Tower<br />
Society with Lionel as our patron. <strong>The</strong> Bell Tower Society is open to any of our older Old Boys who<br />
would like to receive our twice yearly publication, “Tales from the Tower” written with relevant<br />
news and articles for this important group as well receive invitations for specific events.<br />
If you live in Queensland and are interested in coming to the launch of the Bell Tower Society<br />
in Brisbane, please let us know. Invitations will be sent to all Queensland Old Boys for the<br />
launch at lunchtime on Saturday 4 June.<br />
We will also be launching Jim Graham’s book, A Song to Sing O on 4 and 5 June in Brisbane and<br />
look forward to seeing as many Old Boys as possible for the event. Details will be sent out soon.<br />
Please be aware that the Foundation’s Annual Giving Appeal 2011 will be sent out before the<br />
end of June with two specific projects we are raising funds for. <strong>The</strong> first is the appeal for the Jim<br />
Graham Scholarship and the other is our hope to raise funds for proper seating on Backfield.<br />
<strong>The</strong> latest developments in the rugby competition for TAS will mean greater crowds and a<br />
higher profile for our rugby matches and we are looking to improve the experience with better<br />
seating. Any contribution you are able to give will be gratefully received as the Foundation tries<br />
to improve our level of scholarship funds and constantly update our facilities. Lionel Cohen, our Oldest Old Boy enjoys a<br />
birthday lunch on reaching 100 years<br />
