Minutes: Alex Fokine
Minutes from the previous meeting were corrected (Note: David
Woodward’s Telephone Number is 1-905-632-0386).
- Linda
announced that Alex Bostock asked if a Newsletter will be published
for the end of June or should we wait till October. Due to time constraints
it was decided that there would be a fall issue.
- Linda
has applied to the Board for seed money for the reunion ($ 3,000)
towards the 100th.
- Visit
to Humberside – Diane Carlton took pictures, while Alexandra
Fokine took notes. Most important to remember that the pictures are
bolted to the walls.
What
are the plans for the 100th for RCI?
- Diane
suggested doing a statue. Also, mentioned a commemorative poster like
the 75th Reunion (1982).
- Linda
suggested a “Millennium Project” by the RCAA. Bob suggested
that we need to get the present teachers involved, but Linda mentioned
that someone from the RCAA should meet with the teachers. Peter mentioned
that this should be done in the Fall of 1999. Diane nominated Etty
Green to speak with the teachers at the end of September. The Student
Council also meets with the staff; therefore Etty will speak to both
Staff and Students.
- Mickey
suggested that the Parents should get involved. This would have to
been closer to date of the Reunion. Linda mentioned that it is very
difficult to get the Parents involved with the school.
- Etty
suggested the Gerrard Business Association (now called the Queen –
Broadview Association) become involved. Mickey will find the name
of the Alumnist, who is in charged of the Association.
- Problem
of what to do as Project leading to the 100th.
- Laurie
suggested that either the students or RCAA approach businesses for
financial assistance for our projects.
- Article
to be written requesting RCI memorabilia to be shown at the 100th.
- Possible
focal point of using former Athletes of RCI. Former graduate Paul
Hunter writes for the Toronto Star. Laurie will contact Paul Hunter
regarding former Riverdale athletes.
- Hugh
Garner (Author) may be an RCI Alumnist. Need to verify.
- Alex
will put a poster at the Balmy Beach Club to generate interest in
the 100th.
- Laurie
and Deb will talk to Mr. Yuridojc (he did the poster for the 75th).
NEXT MEETING
– TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 14 AT 7:00 P.M. at the school.
Have a great and safe summer !
