ONE WEEK TO GO!
Next Saturday is the big night. Both Maria and Brigida have tickets, but if you can’t connect with them get ahold of me and I’ll help you out. When Friday comes I really can’t be available so contact me as soon as you can.
Brigida at Sorrentos on Ellice. Maria at 697-3172. Bruce at 338-6915.
Maria Has tickets!
For those of you not able to meet with me you can get tickets from Maria Constantino at 697-3172. I f you are downtown during business hours you can reach me at 989-1859.
Monday October 30th is the last real chance I will have to meet with people otherwise so these are your best best.
I have been asked about holding tickets at the door. The truth is I really need to presell tickets to get an idea of how much food we have to order, as well as how much the bar will have to make to break even. If the bar makes $1,000 in sales then the hall rental is free, which would make a smaller turnout less of a worry. So, buy beforehand and we might even raise a bit of money for the Daniel McIntyre program I will talk about at the social.
Oh almost forgot, there is a doorprize, so keep your ticket stubs, but there is no raffle - we didn’t want people having great conversations with long lost friends getting disrupted by someone trying to push tickets!

Dave Shaver — Back from the Reunion Grave
Happy Halloween Season, everybody!
I’ll admit I was dead against going to this reunion, so that’s why I haven’t been “found” up to this date. But I’m so impressed by the work of Corey Robinson, Bruce Thomson and the other reunion supporters, as well as other interested alumni, that I’ve completely changed my mind and bought a ticket.
If you’re scratching your head saying, Dave Shaver, Dave Shaver, Dave Shaver, nope, can’t really remember that tall, nerdy guy, just go to my website at http://david.shaver.name and you could practically steal my identity (please don’t) with all that information and believe me, its very up to date! Also included is a current professional colour headshot (I’m taking training for television and film acting, eh.)
I can’t say enough how impressed I am with the effort of all of you guys and girls. I didn’t even like my high school years, largely because of family instability, but dammit, I’m going to this reunion. I miss the great students at Daniel, especially all the smokin’ chix ;} (I’m still a bachelor. Oh, well!)
Best regards,

We need a new champion.
First of all, some history. At the end of last week, I was finally offered the school for the 21st of October. I thought about it over a couple of hours, and finally called back to decline. It just wasn’t enough time to get it all together. I had to give answer that day to have time to get it through the trustee meeting for approval. Slightly less than a month is too short notice to work out the various other services involved, like music folks etc. I told them I would need to get back to them with a new date. (That’s assuming we continue with that arrangement).
So, here we are today. The title of this post is “We need a new champion”. I’m going to bow out from heading up this process. I’ve given it a decent effort, but at this point, a variety of factors are kind of forcing me to turn it over to someone else. Some reasons are personal, like things I have going on in my life that need my attention, and some are logistic. It’s rather hard for me to get to the city often enough to make arrangements for everything.
If someone wants to take this on, feel free to declare your intentions here. Or you can contact me privately if you prefer. I personally recommend it be someone who lives in the city. I will be happy to assist by offering the resources I developed on this site, which includes posting any information on the permanent pages you need, and adjusting the order forms so that ticket orders are sent to you (note I have an automated paypal option for creditcards, and if you have a paypal account, this can also be set to use yours). I will also pass on any information I have to the new champion including contacts etc.
Good luck to whoever takes this on! I’ll certainly be there, and I’ll even pitch in that night.
