Does anybody else besides me get all choked up after watching this video? Could have done without the Barry Manilow, though.
Nevertheless, for me it was a playful but powerful reminder of the beauty of unconditional love, inter-species or otherwise. M Here are the Minutes from the June meeting. As well, below I have attached a copy of the business card we have had printed up and can be obtained through Ron Storozuk. We hope members of the Committee will take a supply and hand them out to any former alumni you see over the next few months. This business card can be forwarded to your contacts via e-mail, especially the out-of-towners, and hopefully this will encourage people to attend. Enjoy the summer and please try to attend the September meeting. -Maureen Silk- Miles Macdonell Collegiate Alumni Association 60th Anniversary Committee Monday, June 20th, 2011 – Room 33 In attendance: Jim Smith, Chair, Ron Storozuk, Debb Brethauer, Susan Tighe, Filippo Zimarino, Vivien Laurie, Gordon Fritzsche, Donna Cudmore, Tracy MacDonald and Maureen Silk as Recording Secretary. Meeting called to order at 7:00 p.m. Discussion held regarding projected costs to budget for: - equipment for musical productions – Ron will discuss with Zane Zalis; - beer garden and wine and cheese reception – hall rental ($75.00 per hour), security ($150.00), liquor permit ($100.00), drink canisters ($30.00 each), ice ($2.00 per bag), beer cups, snacks (undetermined); - pancake breakfast (pancakes, sausages, coffee and/or juice) – $940.00 for 500 people and $1,630.00 for 800 people. Rental of grills and chafing dishes is $1,200.00. It was agreed that alumni with a ticket would get a complimentary breakfast and everyone else would pay; - hotdog lunch, ice cream, cotton candy – prices undetermined at this time, but there will be a charge for these items so monies will be recouped; - tea - $1,209.78 for 22 trays of wraps, $509.83 for 17 trays of dainties and $1,121.83 for 17 trays of cheese; - equipment rental for children’s fun fair – estimated at $1,500.00; - lanyards for name tags – 3/8”, ½” or 3/4” polyester green with two colour logo - $1,475.00 (500 at $2.95 each); - decade displays and Memorial Wall - $125.00 for poster board, photocopies and miscellaneous (tape, staples, tacks, etc.); - memory sticks for yearbooks – it was decided to advertise on the website that attendees should bring their own memory stick and they would be charged $3.00 for each yearbook downloaded. A small supply of memory sticks could be on hand for people who don’t bring one and a charge of $15.00 would be assessed; - scholarship table - $100.00 for miscellaneous costs; - registration – Gord advised SurveyMonkey is a free service to use which can be linked to the website and will collect information such as name, grad year, what merchandise they wish to purchase and whether they will be attending the concert. A paypal account can be set up for attendees to use to purchase their ticket. It was determined that selling 500 tickets at $35.00 each would net $17,500. This will more than cover our projected expenses. Ron will contact Shelly Makus to have business cards printed up and Committee members can distribute these to any alumni they encounter. An e-mail copy of the business card will also be sent out and alumni can forward these to their contact lists. Discussion held regarding merchandise to sell and it was decided on clothing items such as golf shirts, hoodies, toques or ball caps, as well as coffee mugs, pens, pins and key chains. Meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. NEXT MEETING WILL BE ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH, 2011 AT 7:00 P.M. IN ROOM #33
Brenda Roy This editor/webmaster gig doesn't come with a lot of perks (unless you count weight gain and pale skin as bonuses). What I have really enjoyed most about it though, is connecting with people whom I have not seen for years, in some cases since high school.One such person is Brenda Roy, that cute quiet girl from grade 12 French class who, as I remember, was shy, nearly bilingual and considered quite brilliant. The last I had heard of her after graduation was that she was involved in theater production. Indeed, she did turns as stage manager for Rainbow Stage, the Manitoba Theater Center and the University of Alberta Drama Department among others. Then, after a fifteen year career, Brenda decided to do something completely different and voila, she is now an international award-winning jewellery designer. Her creations, as described by Brenda herself, " explore contrasts in metal and stone: smooth stone and polished metal defined by deep, textured backgrounds; the play of colour in unique stone inlays; precious gems paired with rough minerals; and contemporary designs that have the feel of ancient artifacts." Like the piece pictured below, I would describe her work as visually stunning! Drop by Brenda's website at brendaroy.com or visit her Facebook page at www.facebook.com/pages/Brenda-Roy-Jewellery to say hello, and prepare to be dazzled... Cheers, M You just have to appreciate this one. Young people forget that old people had a career before they retired...Charley, a new retiree-greeter at Wal*Mart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5, 10 or 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker; really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp-minded, and a real credit to the company. He obviously demonstrated their "Older Person Friendly" policies. One day the boss called him into the office for a talk. "Charley," he began, "I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job when you get here; but your being late so often is quite bothersome." "Yes, I know, boss. I am working on it." Charley replied "Well, good. You're a team player. That's what I like to hear." "Yes sir. I understand your concern, and I'll try harder." Puzzled, the manager went on to comment, "It's odd though, your coming in late. I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say to you there if you showed up so late and so often?” The old man looked down at the floor, then smiled. He chuckled quietly and said with a sheepish grin, "They usually saluted and said, 'Good morning, Admiral, can I get your coffee, sir?'." Here again is a revised list of committees for the MMC 60th anniversary, along with the good people who are toiling in the trenches, putting together what is looking to be an amazing reunion weekend. They would welcome any and all who can offer their time and energy, so if you find yourself with some downtime, pick a committee you think you'd like to help out on and give them a call.

When he opens the door, he encounters two police officers, one of whom asks if he is married and, if so, whether the officer can see a picture of the wife. The guy says "sure " and shows him a picture of his wife. The officer looks carefully at the picture and then gravely says, "I'm sorry sir, but it looks like your wife's been hit by a truck." The guy says, "I know, but she has a great personality, is an excellent cook, and lets me play golf whenever I want to!" -Submitted by Peter W.- Ed. note; Equal opportunity womens' jokes enthusiastically welcomed...by the way Pete, how are things at home these days? |

Inflation continued to spiral out of control around the world, reaching 11.3% in the USA and 12.6% in Canada, as the global recession deepened. The famous skeleton of "Lucy", who lived between 3 and 3.9 million years ago is discovered in Ethiopia . More and more smaller digital based consumer products appear in stores and the earliest forms of Word Processors appear which resemble a typewriter more than a computer. After the findings of the Watergate Scandal Richard Nixon becomes the first US president forced to resign from office.
