Message from the Alumni Association President

By Derek Pleadwell, BA '93, BEd '94

Hello St.Thomas Alumni,

It has been a few months since you've last heard from us through the Connections magazine and summer is just around the corner. Since my last message we have elected a new Alumni Association Board of Directors. I am sure that this will bring a renewed energy and drive to both the association and St. Thomas Alumni in general. My special thanks to the outgoing members for all of their hard work and endeavors over the last two years and my sincere welcome to the new members.

On another note, within the last few months the alumni association has participated in the successful
St.Thomas Gala Dinner, hosted another widely attended Grad reception and have begun planning for another successful annual golf tournament. You will find more details of the upcoming golf tournament within the magazine, however I personally encourage everyone to come and experience the fun and many laughs to be had at this year's tournament on August 23.

Surprisingly enough, we have many great golfers in our St. Thomas alumni extended family and we also have others who have sworn fellow alumni to secrecy over the event last year...take the opportunity to come out and see it for yourself this summer.

As always, we endeavor to act as a medium for St. Thomas Alumni to keep in touch with each other and St.Thomas University. The Alumni Association and I appreciate every opportunity to hear from fellow alumni and encourage your feedback. As always, please feel free to e-mail me at derekp@fundy.net or contact the association through our Alumni Affairs Officer, Katherine Loughrey at kathyl@stu.ca.
