Alumni

Thank you all for supporting this year’s edition, the fourth, of the Britannia Alumni Golf, Dance and Dinner held on September 7, 2014 at Meadow Gardens Golf Course.

 89 people attended this year’s event, a record number.

 A very big thank you to all who donated auction items, prizes and who helped out.  As previously mentioned, no money was raised on the golf and dinner fees.  All monies raised were by 50/50 sales, the heads and tails event and by the auction items.

 Thanks to your generosity, $6,353.53 was raised.  All of this money will be used to support the students and programmes of Britannia High School.

 Congratulations once again to this year’s teacher honorees, Mike Evans and George Rapanos who join past honorees Bill Vance, John Minichiello, Rosemarie Voakes and Jack Schreiber.

 We look forward to seeing you at next year’s event and hope that you will continue to support Britannia HS and our event.

The East End Strathcona Seymour Alumni just donated $231.50 to the BSS from their yearly reunion dinner! 

Congrats to Alvin Lee, Lance Yip, Fred John and Jim Merritt. This group of east side kids have been meeting since 1979 and are grads of 1940 to 1950.

Way to go, guys!

The 4th annual Britannia Alumni Golf/Dinner/Dance at Meadow Gardens Golf Course on Saturday, September 6, 2014. A record attendance of 82 enjoyed a fabulous meal.

The first few years of the event, the honoree was Bill Vance.   We recently acknowledged the contributions made by longtime teachers Rosemarie Voakes, Jack Schreiber and John Minichiello. by adding their names  to the list of honorees in whose names money raised at the event would be donated to the school for bursaries and ongoing student programmes.

This year, we are adding the names of Mike Evans and George Rapanos to our list of honorees.  Their  dedication to the school and students of Britannia have long been recognized but perhaps not sufficiently acknowledged until this year.

While continuing to thank all of the past honorees , we now also thank Mike and George this for their efforts in bettering the lives of the students, past and present, of Britannia High School.

As always, any monies raised at the Alumni Dinner/Dance/Golf will be donated in the names of all of the honorees for bursaries and ongoing student programmes.
