a few pix

SJR Reunion Weekend a SMASH hit!

It was sooooooo lovely to see my old SJR classmates on the sunny September Long Weekend in Winnipeg. Everyone looked fantastic and had a gorgeous smile in the photos. Now we just have to find a way to share them! I will post a few more pix each day.

HUGE THANKS to Hardev and Jane for taking the lead in organizing the weekend. Thanks guys - we all appreciated your hard work and the turnout was excellent! The King's Head Pub on Friday night was fun - it warmed my heart to walk in and recognize familiar faces, many I hadn't seen in years. Saturday night's venue (Squash Club) was perfect allowing for intimate chats and madness on the dance floor. The dinner and company were fabulous and karaoke was a blast. Neil sweated blood to produce his slideshow which was great!

Thanks to everyone for coming! Loved seeing you. Let's not wait another 25 years!

Happy Anniversary to me!

Today is Richard's and my 4th Wedding Anniversary. It's also his 40th birthday. Check out my blog for more.

That also means, for some of you SJR people who made the trip to TO for the wedding, it was the last time we saw each other. Can't wait to remedy that situation this September at our 25th Reunion! See previous post with links and make sure you RSVP soon.

Have a fabulous day...

Are you ready for a MONTAGE!

The Reunion Planning Team had a conference call today. We're up to 35 confirmed on the evite site. Frank - glad you finally responded!

If you didn't get a letter from the school, email Kari Parker in the Alumni office.

We all need to RSVP by July 1st and send in the form with payment to the school.

Email Jane, Neil or me with your old photos (scan and send)

We're trying to create a montage. Just like in Team America: World Police - a risque but hilarious film by the makers of South Park. At the site click Soundtrack and choose Montage and you'll see in the lyrics where we get this from...

29 so far!

Check the e-vite site: we're up to 29. Glad to hear we have members who will "encourage" reluctant classmates to join us (Eric & Mike - thanks!)

Looking forward to the fun - September 1 is less than 4 months away...

The Reunion Express

We're excited and delighted that 25 people are now coming to the Class of '81 reunion this September. Maybes - what will it take to move you into the 'Yes' column?

Plans are getting finalized and we will be updating the blog with more details shortly. Be sure to send in your RSVP to the school to confirm you will be coming (and pay!)

If you come across any classic photos, please share!

Happy Spring to all...

Still need addresses!

Hey Class of '81!

Encouraging to see 22 positive RSVPs on the e-vite site. Yay Class of '81!

Keep trying to connect with as many people as you can and we'll do the same.

Great to hear from the old crowd
Plans are underway!

10 and counting

At least 10 people have RSVP'd at the e-vite site. We've even heard from Gord Travis in the 'Couv. Get your RSVP in and let us know you're comin'.

I think this calls for a haiku:

Class of '81

Reunion e-vite

After our inaugural meeting August 2005 at Colosseo's, it's official! This week SJR set the date for Homecoming 2006 and this morning Hardev called me to discuss reunion plans. It's all happening on the September Long Weekend with events at the school slated for Saturday Sept 2, 2006

The e-vite is live so please RSVP and send on to other classmates you may be in touch with. We would love to get as many people out as possible. I think we can beat the 80% turnout rate by the Class of '80 last August.

We know September long weekend may be tough for some but July and August were impossible for others and for the School so SAVE THE DATE and See you in WINNIPEG in September!
