ALUMNI ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP – The official form for your 2009/10 DMT Alumni Association membership is now available for download (in PDF format) – Please print the form and mail it with your $10 payment today.
1 – The Souvenir Booklets are in the mail! For those who ordered booklets from our second printing, they were mailed out on Friday, July 24. They should arrive some time in the following week. We hope you enjoy having a second reunion as you browse through the pages. Let us know if your booklet doesn’t arrive in the next couple of weeks.
2 – The Alumni Committee are also planning to send out a special anniversary edition of Thomson Tradewinds, the Alumni Newsletter, with reports and especially photos from the big day, May 2. Usually the newsletter goes out only to paid-up members of the Alumni. However, we are hoping to expand the mailing this time to include anyone who ordered souvenirs or Embers tickets for the reunion. If you want to be sure of receiving a copy of this 8-page full-colour souvenir and you are not already an Alumni member, we invite you to join by filling in the membership form which is available on this web-site or attached to this message (depending on where you read it first) and following the instructions on the form.
We also invite any of you who have special photos from the reunion that you would like us to consider including in the newsletter to email them in jpg format to stanleyfarrow@rogers.com or to rdoi@toyota.ca. We want the newsletter to capture as much of the excitement as possible, so don’t be shy!
