Stratchona

Do any VCHS people attend - I'm a '68 graduate.
I'm hesitant - I think I'm too shy!! Is it mostly guys? (I'm a girl.)

Hi graindesable51,.............   As far as I understand 'any' ex-Verdun' resident can go,& would be widely Welcome,..... You could be our roaming reporter sort of ,.if you go & mill around with everyone,take some pics if you can,.We 'd sure like to see them posted here on the board,...Every year we have people mention the Get together at the Stathcona Hotel ,in toronto,but we never hear any updates in the days that follow the party........If you do decide to go,We would look forward to your experiences,.....I don't know how many people do go,but You could tell them about this site ,Maybe some of them would like to share some old Verdun Stories & photos,...or whatever,. Good luck,and I hope you have a ball if you do go.  As far as ex-VCHS students,I would think there must be some..........

I do believe that it was the "VOBs" that started the whole Strathcona Verdun Get-together. They were/are a group of VCHS Alumni. Am I off on this one Glen? Wish I could be there.......

Ok we'll try this again: the only pictures we've ever had of the Annual Verdun Reunion,.is from the 10th annual,.this year will be the 18th annual anyone going this year ,then you will probably like to start planning (if you haven't already)..it's On December 5th, this year  ( the 1st Friday in December).....book your rooms or phone your friends,...cause that date is only 23 days from now....Yikes ....If you want to see all the other photos taken that year ,.checkout the photo Albums link on the 7th page at the bottom from  our member  Frank http://groups.msn.com/VerdunConnections/2002verdunreunion.msnw ...maybe someone will snap a shot this year ,as it is Our Last on MSN Group                                                   HF&RV

Have Fun & Remember Verdun
