Ad Astra
Joint
picnic with St. George's The day of the picnic started out a little chilly, but sunny, so we were hopeful that the day would get better and it certainly did. After picking up my group of guys, we mosied on over to the picnic area in Scarborough. Driving the long distance from Brampton we passed many milestones and check points for out of towners! But we made it safe and sound and amidst lots of laughter and happy greetings settled in to have a good time. My guys went off to play baseball, others were playing dominoes or cards, but most of us were just contented with catching up on all the news from the summer. Some of us arrived a little late (no names) while the rest of us starved waiting for all of the food to come before lunch was served. But a tell you, it was well worth the wait! We had jerk chicken, curried goat, rice and peas, salads, macaroni and cheese and whole heaps of other tings! Now this is not a complaint, just an observation; Auntie Joan heard that the Alpha girls had mackerel run-down and green bananas etc. over in their area which was only a stone's throw away from our area. She decided to go and commandeer some of their goodies for herself. Well, when the rest of us heard of the goings on she had to go right back over and get more food. So that we would not be too embarrassed by our greediness, she offered them some of our food. You can just imagine the teasing that went on after that!
Thank you to all the organizers and all the generous people who supplied prizes etc. The George's boys did a great job as game masters. (yu know how dem luv giv orders!). Till next August, walk good, yu hear. MISS DONS President's
Message Dear Fellow Alumnae, This is the last time I will be addressing you in this space. In December you will be voting for a new president and committee. I thank you all for allowing me to serve you for the past four years. It was both rewarding and a pleasure. I wish the next president all the best and pledge my continued support. We have had a very 9ood year with the implementation of the scholarship fund and the renewed interest in the association by a larger portion of those on our mailing list. Paid up membership is up and so the cast of printing and mailing the newsletter is being offset without tapping into the scholarship fund. The scholarship is an ongoing project and if you have not made a contribution for this year you may still do so. As an aging association our main goal is to reach out to our younger alumnae so if you know of anyone not on the mailing list please forward names to any committee member. The focus of the association is still the school and the students. I think we were able to fulfill that mandate in the last four years, and wish to congratulate my committee on a job well done. Thank you and see you at the mass in December. Sincerely, HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! ** Rosalie Hall and Sr. Francoise ** For those of you who do not remember, Rosalie Hall is the Toronto "charity" adopted and supported by ICHSAA. This is our official Canadian social conscience project. Rosalie Hall is a home/school/safe house for young, single, pregnant girls and since the province's cut back on social funding they have had to rely much more on donations and fundraisers. Their only fundraiser is the ANNUAL CHRISTMAS ARTS & CRAFTS SALE in November, at which the biggest seller is the ceramics. All ceramics are made by Sr. Francoise who is in her 80's and needs all the help she can get. So alumnae and friends (including men & boys) come out and help! Donate some time. Doing charitable work is good for the soul! NO TALENT IS NEEDED. Phone Sr. Francoise first (416-438 6880)

We saw all kinds of newcomers,
young and old, and some not so old .
It was nice to hear people meeting and greeting and it was very exciting to see
the avid participation in all the
games. The 'put the string thru the
blouse and shirt' contest is a very prejudiced
game in favour of the George's boys and I
aim to speak to my lawyer about it before the next
picnic. The guys won the 1st round and Alpha won
the final round. Since we won last year we decided
to give the others a chance to win. What else
can I say about our loss?!? Robbie Vernon with his
game 'in the river, on the bank' was lots of fun especially
for those of us watching all the people who
did not know their in or out. What a lot of laughter!
It is a good thing that we can laugh at ourselves. There were numerous other
games and lots of surprises and
prizes. I think everyone had a great time
and I believe that this has been the largest turnout
ever for the picnics, about 300. For all of you
who did not turn up, you missed a wonderful fun day,
so be sure to show up next year.
