You might be asking yourself why you should attend Tecumseh Reunion 2016.
For many of you, it`s an automatic yes! All you need is an invitation and you’re thrilled with the idea of reuniting with your classmates and teachers. For the rest of you, a bit of coaxing might do the trick.
Here’s my top 10 reasons you shouldn’t pass on the opportunity to attend this reunion.
- It’s an opportunity to visit a time and place that formed an impressive part of your life … your high school days at Tecumseh.
- Hearing of classmates who have passed away is a stark reminder that we are not invincible. Seize the day!
- Even if you hated school, you don’t want to miss the excitement and renewed camaraderie that just might be ignited at the reunion.
- Strike up a conversation with one of your teachers. Chances are they will remember you.
- Relive the memories of what it was to be a Brave!
- Share photos of your grandchildren. That’s right … many of us are now grandparents!
- Reunions are therapeutic. After 40 years or so, we’ve checked our egos at the door. We all embrace each other. You never know what’s on the other side of that name tag. And, as an added bonus, our eyesight isn’t as sharp as it once was, so we all look good!
- Everyone shows up older, but then grows younger again as they walk through the door.
- Facebook is not a class reunion. You may not feel the need to travel far distances, or just across the city, to attend because you’ve kept up on Facebook with photos and news. At the reunion you can talk face-to-face, laugh, hug, dance, eat, drink and spend time in a more meaningful and memorable way.
- It will be a fabulous, first-class party! Just look at these features!
Friday night at the Jazz Bah with the band Big House
Open house at Tecumseh to tour the school
Beach volleyball, music, drinks, relaxing outdoors at the Portuguese Club followed by an amazing dinner and dance, featuring the band Friends
As an added bonus we have TSS Reunion t-shirts and event photos available for purchase.
Check it all out here!
The reunion committee is very motivated to reach as many alumni and staff as possible. Please help us out by sharing this newsletter with your Tecumseh classmates and encouraging them to share their contact info with me at jscummings@cogeco.ca
I hope I got you thinking and I look forward to seeing you there!
By the way, class of 76 is in the lead for ticket sales. Woohoo!
