For Alumni of Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute in Winnipeg, Canada
Hi, for those of you willing to work on this I am having a dinner get together this week so we can talk in person.
So, join me Thursday at Sorrentos on Ellice around 7 p.m. If you can’t make it but want to be involved as well please get in touch with me at escapist_ca@yahoo.ca
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.
Corey what is going on with the new date?? Sandra Fabbri(Santucci)
I had hoped to have this finalized by now, but as a tail, I can only wag the dog so much. I’ll give you an update with what I know so far.
We’re moving the date of the reunion from June to October. The main reason is to give us more time to find people, and to sell enough tickets so we can break even on the event. I do not yet have a specific date worked out. As soon as I do, I’ll email everyone to update them. For those of you who couldn’t attend in June due to other plans, perhaps this will give you an opportunity to attend.
I’m optimistic that we’ll find enough people, but I think we’re more likely to get there with everyone’s help. I’d like you to make it your missing to find two people from the unfound list. Call parents, or where you heard they last worked, anything the junior detective kit suggests. If we all do that, I think we’ll have a fantastic reunion.
Thanks, and stay tuned!
It seems some people would like to know who is going to attend the reunion. If you intend to come, leave a comment saying so!

Ok, that last bit was a joke, but the prize part is real.
Oh my gosh! I’m looking at my calendar, and am getting excited. We’re just 2 months away from the 25 years later reunion. I’m compelled to say a couple things.
Join us for music, dancing, reminiscing, and crazy fun with no detentions! As of right now, tickets are available for purchase to the DMCI - 25 Years Later Reunion Social. more info
