Its Been a Long, Long Time Coming! Join for Greek Christmas Dinner?

Well I can not believe that it has been so long since the last post. Apologies.

I was thinking maybe six or 12 posts a year when I started out. Will definitely try to do better in the months ahead.

My family and I were in France for the summer while I did my MBA and it was a crazy first half leading up to that.

I attended the Sept. 30th Toronto Chapter Alum meeting and here are a couple of the highlights:

The Mount is launching a new Capital campaign for a Teaching, Learning and Research Centre to be built behind the Seton Centre. We'll get more details on that in the coming months.

On Dec. 2 I am hosting the next Alum meeting at my house and we will all be heading down to the Danforth for some great Greek food afterwards. Send me an email to mgcayley (at) hotmail (dot) com if you are interested in joining.

I am hoping that this get together might be a kick off for more dinners together. Take a sec and google Dinner with 12 Strangers. This is a proven program that helps build alum networks at Universities all over the world. M.S.V.U. has about 1000 alum in Toronto, why not see if we can build some connections between us?

The idea is simple. 12 people come together, sit down to dinner as strangers and walk away as friends. Do you want to put a dinner together in your area? Make a comment or drop me an email.
