I AM ANDREAN
A note from Mike Elliott ’82 New President of the Old Boys Association
I
n our new constitution adopted in 2009, we created a mission statement: “To foster good fellowship among the Andrean Community and to encourage continued strong engagement with St. Andrew’s College.” I use this to emphasize that the Old Boys Association is in the business of “friend raising,” not fundraising. Any revenue we do raise through our various events is donated to a special Old Boys’ Bursary created to help make it possible for more Old Boys’ sons to attend St. Andrew’s College. The Old Boys Association will continue to run events intended to re-engage Old Boys living around the world. These events are hosted not only by the Toronto chapter throughout the GTA, but also by other SAC Old Boys’ chapters across Canada, in New York and Los Angeles, in Hong Kong and in the U.K. If there isn’t a chapter near you, why not get your fellow Andreans together and form one? My aims as President of the Old Boys Association are to further engage our current students and Old Boys, and to build upon our shared experiences and values as a community. If you have any suggestions about how we can better engage our 6,000-strong global network of Old Boys, please let me know at melliott7031@rogers.com. Thank you!
