In the Spring of 2004 we introduced Alumni Connection as a digital monthly newsletter. Since those early days we have continued to grow but have always remained green - no paper. We encourage all of our readers to visit our website and update your profile, particularly your home e-mail address, so you will continue to receive Alumni Connection.

At present my wife Joanne, and I, are enjoying a Cross family reunion in Orlando, Florida. It has been quite a few years since we were all together in the same place, at the same time.
Registrations for Reunion 2010 have been pouring in at a great rate. If you have not yet committed to attending the reunion, then now would be a good time.
If you have not attended a prior reunion (1995 or 2005), you might be interested in knowing that the best-attended event is the Friday evening Meet & Greet. This event brings out not only the visitors from out of province, but also the locals. It is also the time when class photos are taken. |
