What to do? What to do? What 2Do?

Hey ... so a few months back, during the course of work, I noticed the feature on business networking site LinkedIn that let's you find people who went to your school.

I surfed around there for a bit and came across an old friend that I had completely lost touch with. We have exchanged some email, caught up on family & biz info and she has introduced me to a colleague of her's that lives around the corner from me.

Not too long later I received an invitation to a MSVU alum event at the Bata Shoe Museum. I went, drank a few glasses of wine with a bunch of people I had never met before, but who had gone to the Mount and had a pretty good time.

And a couple of weeks ago I ran into someone from the Mount in the subway. Someone who I knew, though we never really travelled in the same circles while we were at school, but who apparently lives about four blocks from me ... I was supposed to text my email addie to her, but I screwed up when I tried to save her phone number.

Anywhoo ... apparently there are about 700 MSVU alum in the GTA. So this blog is a bit of a flyer to see who is out there, start to generate some conversation and see what happens.

I went recently to a couple of the Toronto Alumnae Association meetings. As you probabably have envisioned, these meetings are steep with the history of the Mount. There is a small group of women who have been involved for years. What strikes me most about the group dynamics is that you have a group who come from a very wide variety of backgrounds, yet who are connected in someway. Over the years they appear to have shared a part of their lives.

This seems valuable to me.

I would appreciate it if you forward this around to anyone who went to the Mount so that we can eventually spread it virally to as many in Toronto as possible.

Take care.
