As we told you in our March special update, our Saturday June 11^th Reunion plans remain unchanged. Reunion registration is in the main lobby of the hotel begins at 5:00 pm and our reception begins at 7:00 pm. At the reception we’ll be having a musical video presentation titled “Beyond our Black Bands”, skits, group singing and presentation of certificates. We also will have a buffet of finger foods, wine & soft drinks.

Sunday June 12^th Reunion plans are modified and will include:

• Early am Group walk
• 10:00 am Presentation The 2022 Moncton Hospital – The Parkhouse Room
  • Marilyn Babineau (Class of 1974) will do a photo/power-point tour of the hospital

• 11:00 -12:00 Noon Coffee, Conversation & Cookies: Training Trivia, Reunion Recollections and Covid Cornucopia Conversation Starter -Geraldine Norman – The Parkhouse Room or Poolside Weather Permitting
  • Over the course of planning for the reunion we’ve discovered that there is a treasure trove of stories our classmates have to tell. Come prepared to tell, listen to and laugh about memorable moments: from our three years in training, recollections from previous reunions, fun/challenges of living the last 2 years with the Covid Pandemic or any other tales you think might be of interest. PLEASE LET GAIL KNOW BY APRIL 30^th if you will attend the CC&C
• 12:00-2:00 LUNCH ON YOUR OWN 
• 2:00-4:00 pm Wine Tasting –The Parkhouse Room
  • Given the uncertainty facing us with the Magnetic Hill Wine tasting and our conscious decision to establish a bit of a bubble at Rodd’s, the organizing committee has decided to combine the two and have a more personal and fun tasting at Rodd’s 
  • To make it personal, 4 or 5 classmates would present one of their favourite “go to” wines. Tasting glasses of 1 ounce size would be provided making one bottle per presentation quite sufficient. The fun part would be sharing with everyone why this is a  “go to” wine, how was it discovered, when is it most enjoyed, how’s value for the cost, etc. 
  • While it would not be Magnetic Hill, it would be on site and require no driving!  Needless to say, your committee likes the idea (having had wine at a few of our zoom meetings) . How about it who will volunteer to bring their favourite wine and tell us about it? I you are not presenting a wine but wish to attend please let please let Joann Simpson Logan KNOW BY APRIL 30^TH. Her email is jsimp0901@aol.com. The cost to attend the wine tasting will be $5.00 payable at registration desk. Feel free to donate more than $5.00 if you wish.
• 6:00-10:00 pm Sit down Dinner
  • Includes Rose & Candle Memorial Ceremony, Video with Music titled “Nursing Narratives Post 1972” and Group Singing.
