Winter Newsletter

Hello CCI Alumni, Faculty and Staff (1600 registered... and counting)

The Reunion is only 1 year 5 months and 1 day away.

We've got a real laundry list of items that we'd like to mention to everyone:

1. Donations

The size and scope of the 100 year reunion celebration will require funds greater than those generated by registration fees alone. The CCI100 reunion team is looking for both volunteers and donations in order to make the CCI100 reunion a success. Please consider donating...

I have had a conversation with Don Dickinson in Victoria to see if we could organize a coffee house at St. Aidans church on High St. (Formerly St. Johns church). I would imagine there will be a need for older people to go for refreshments and a time of relaxation after walking the streets (tunnels, Crescent Park, etc.) and this would be an ideal location. It could also be a place where you have some memorabilia set up for display - I was thinking of the grad pictures that I remember hung on the walls at Central. I have talked to St. Aidans people and they have advised me that the restoration work they are doing will not affect the lower hall, or what was called the parish hall with the kitchen. I looked at your schedule and it seems pretty full of activities but I do think there is a need for something like a coffee house. If you wish I could look after any set up, take down and clean up of such a fascility. I know the place extremely well from growing up there. Looking at the list of attendees, there would seem to be a great many who attended that church and who might like to stop off during their reunion time. I would probably ask volunteers from the church to run a coffee house. I still know many of the parishioners as I did a fundraising concert there in 2007 and, as I say, they seem to be receptive to what I have in mind. I might even look into having some entertainment , live and otherwise, incorporated in the Coffee House. Let me know what you think.
Also - if you want to put me down for the rep for 1952 class, you can do so. Just what does that entail?

I think this is an excellent idea Garth. I'll be sure to put this in our next email newsletter.

By older I would assume that you mean anyone from my age onward... you'll probably see me passed out in the corner!

Thank you.

Committee meeting in 34 degree heat!

Don Dickinson (web guy), Debbie Cowan (Co-chair), Deign Salido (Co-chair)

When the heat rises the only place to hold a small impromptu committee meeting is in Crescent Park.

Guess which one of us is in the best physical condition.
