Some important reminders.
1. Place your ads (batches, chapters, individual brods and sis) and submit
    articles for our souvenir program. 

2. Final reservations with Whirpool, Niagara venue for golf are to be finalized.
    Golfing brods and sis interested to play golf are requested to register.

3. Arrive on or before the first day of the reunion so as not to miss our Welcome 
    Dinner. We find it more suitable to book a hall than a restaurant for the
    welcome dinner on Aug 9.  This is more condusive  to start the fellowship,
    renew acquiantances, rekindle memories, and meet new brods and sis.
  
4. Niagara Day on August 10 is a whole day affair. It includes a winery
    tour in the morning capped by dinner at the Grand Buffet at Fallsview
    Casino.
    These 2 items are not covered by  your registration fee.
    - Winery tour is $5 Cdn/person and includes $5 redeemable voucher towards
      the purchase of wine.
    - Buffet dinner is $30 Cdn./person. The dinner venue will be our assembly
      point before heading back to Toronto.
    The amount will be collected upon registration.
