Reunion 2022 - June 10-12th
Come to the gathering. After serious consideration, the Executive Committee has made the difficult decision that 2022 will be the last official organised Annual Alumnae Reunion. As guests at the Best Western Lamplighter, we will be required to follow any COVID protocols in place to keep us safe. There may be a requirement to be vaccinated in order to attend this reunion. And as the COVID numbers continue to decline, hopefully by June, we will be in the clear.
Reunion 2022 is planned for the weekend of June 10-12th at the Best Western Lamplighter Inn, London, Ontario. If you plan to arrive early on Friday to attend the wine and cheese event, you can leave your luggage in the hospitality suite 101. Check into your room when we return from St. Thomas.
The Golden Girls for this reunion are those alumnae who attended Alma College during the year 1971-72. It has been 50 years since you were at Alma! We are looking for hostesses for the Golden Girls, 1971-72 and 40th reunion, 1981-82. This is a great time to look forward to seeing old friends and new. Tell other people you're coming, and they will come too!
