Get together with King’s alumni and build your ties with the College. Please join us for the following events.
“TAKING TIME – A BUSY PERSON’S RETREAT” For King’s College Alumni and Friends, April 25-27, 2003 at Medaille Retreat House, London. Teresa Bryant, Campus Minister and Director of Pastoral Leadership Studies, and Dr. James Schmeiser of the King’s Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies will facilitate this retreat that explores the ways in which our bodies, minds and spirits relate to the powerful and mysterious force called time. Through silence, ritual, reflection and dialogue, participants will encounter practices and perspectives which sustain and nurture a more fluid and integrated relationship with time. Cost is $150 per person. For more information contact Teresa Bryant at (519) 433-3491 ext. 4450 or email tlbryant @uwo.ca.
OTTAWA ORGANIZES BRANCH EVENTS The Ottawa Branch of the Alumni Association had a reception in October. Dr. Gerry Killan, Principal of King’s College, gave an update on the changes at King’s. We were happy to see many new faces in the group. Slowly, our numbers are increasing and the grad years represented are broadening. The discussions during the October reception were encouraging. As a result, Bill McCloskey ’65, Paul McKenzie ’90, Margaret Fuller ’75 and Geoff Hutton ’66 have commenced to organize a series of events that, it is hoped, will attract more Ottawa Alumni. While not fully defined, opportunities to attend local sporting events, cultural occasions, etc are being considered. It is intended to present a modest program at a reception to be held on Wednesday, May 23 from 4:30 - 7:00 P.M. at the Army Ottawa Officers Mess, 149 Somerset Ave. (near Elgin St.). All King’s Alumni in the Ottawa area are invited to participate in the reception and give feed-back on the proposed activities for the rest of 2003. We look forward to seeing you!
