As Ernie said in an email he sent to some of us...."I understand that there maybe some doubling up but I would sooner have it that way than not at all." and, "some of these have been contacted but I haven't got information back about them."

Let's see if we can get a WAY SHORTER LIST in the next few weeks. And please contact Ernie with your findings!!!!!

Additionally, I have sent invites to a majority of the teachers to invite them as well. However, there is also a list of teachers that have not been notified. If anyone knows their whereabouts, please let me know. The teachers that need to be contacted are:

Mr. Eberhard – math, science, Mrs. K Ferguson – Home Ec. Mr. Kembel – math, Mr. Kjeldsen – electricity, electronics, Mrs. Klinck – PE , French, Mrs. Landy – PE, Math, Mrs. Lewis – English, Mrs. Lough – English, Mr. Mushka – history, Mr. Phillips - English, Mr. Sametz – Woodwork, Mr. Saucier – history, Miss Sauder – commercial, Mr. Skulmoski – math, Mr. KB Smith – math, Mr. Stewart – English, music, Mr. Strass – science, chemistry, Mrs. Sulma – Home Ec, Mrs. Townsend – English, Mr. Watson – math, Mrs. Exner – secretary

Many thanks to all those that have volunteered and are helping us to locate those that have still not been contacted. Ernie and I would not be able to pull this reunion together without your help. And, of course, there is no such thing as TOO MUCH HELP! (wink, wink, hint, hint)

We Are Switching Venues

Yep! We are moving to one of the halls at the
Canadian Italian Club...

WE ARE NO LONGER HAVING THE REUNION AT MURPHY'S BAR IN THE REGINA COURT AND FITNESS CLUB.


I was in Regina this past weekend for my mom's surprise 70th birthday so I had a chance to speak to Carm at the Fitness Club and to Anna at the Italian Club. When all was said and done, it just made more sense to move to the Italian Club. It's bigger, more spacious, and they offer more options like a microphone and a projector screen! However, we need to supply our own music system. Anyone care to volunteer to bring one?

I also went to Thom Collegiate on Friday with a list of teachers in hand. The staff was very accomodating in helping me find teachers that I still had missing info for. Additionally, it helps to have a brother that taught at Thom for 18 years to help me fill in a couple of other "blanks". Many thanks to Cheryl and Stella of Thom Collegiate, and to my big brother, Chuck. I worked on invites to the teachers when I was on the plane and will have them out this week.

My mom was telling me a few of her friends approached her in that they saw an advertisement in the Regina Coffee News with the name Kate (Toth) Mitchell. That tells me people are seeing the advertisement, which is really good news. We still have yet to find MORE people. Anyone that can offer a couple of hours of their time to help do so, please contact Ernie. Ernie's job is to go thru the class list and contact people and I am taking care of the logistics and the advertising, but help is gratefully appreciated.

When I was saying goodbye to my family this morning, I was also saying, "see you in a couple of months", which means this reunion is just a couple of months away! I'm getting really excited about seeing everyone. We are getting lots of yes's and that's great, but please, send in your cheques with your self addressed stamped envelopes. Tickets will have the Italian Club's address on it, but in the meantime, if you want to make a note of it, it is:

The Canadian Italian Club
2148 Connaught Street
Regina, Sask.
S4T 4T9

(a couple of blocks west of the Lewvan off of 13th Avenue)

We will be in Hall B.

We are still meeting for 6 p.m. with dinner at 7 p.m.
