Class of 2010 Reunion
Happy Holidays indeed! Just over thirty Class of 2010 alumni travelled from across Canada, and one from England, to get together on December 19, 2012. This is the third big reunion they’ve organized at this time of year, and the second time Nick Papageorge NJC ‘10 has generously hosted. Here’s to maintaining the tradition in 2013! Thanks to Georgia Bradley NJC ’10 for sharing this photo of the event.
Wedding Bells
NJC Class of 2002 grads Heather Finlay and Jordie Burton were wed in Collingwood over the Christmas holidays in a family ceremony. Early in 2013, the couple donned spiffy wedding attire yet again for a reception with friends at a restaurant on King Street West in Toronto. Congratulations!
NJC alumna, Laurie Wallace-Gordon ‘77 and Derek Gordon were pleased to share that their eldest daughter, Lisa Gordon ‘06 was wed to Harry Russ on January 26, 2013. Of course, bridal attendants were sisters Karen ‘08 (L) and Michelle ‘10 (R). Congratulations!

Great
Excuse
toGet Together
Amy Bourne NJC ’00 is not only a member of the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) for Neuchâtel Junior College, she also serves as President of NJC’s Alumni Association. With the help of fellow CAC member, Alison Campbell ’80, an alumni event was hosted in downtown Toronto late last August. Why then? As much as one never needs an excuse to get together with fellow Neuchies, it seemed appropriate to set the date at a time coinciding with something significant happening at NJC. In this case...departure! Remember when you were about to embark on your NJC adventure? All 25 Neuchies in attendance enjoyed the Swiss-themed décor, souvenirs with Neuchâtel alumni and sharing a few verres together. Looking forward to our next event! Watch NJC News and on Facebook for details this summer.
