What? Ex-cadets weekend at CMR St-Jean
 

When? 15-16 September 2006
 

Where? CMR St-Jean college grounds

For who? Entry class of 1986 (1987 for our BA friends), graduating class of 1991 (and 1992 for our "re-tread" colleagues) and all their friends, life partners, fans and any other person interested in having a great time. 

Why? To celebrate 15 years after graduation, 20 years after having entered CMR, 20 years of service, 10 years or more of going back to civilian life, or any other good reason to meet old friends and acquaintances, share stories, "bullsh--", laugh, have fun, etc.
 How?  It is simple.  The CMR Ex-Cadets' Foundation has already organized pretty much everything.  See the following link: http://www.cmrstjean.com/fin_semaine/reunion_s2006.html . You will find there the weekend's details, a link (bottom left corner) > to an "answering sheet" to register (which provides information on the schedule, costs and means of payment).  By the way the spouses/partners are invited to all activities. 

Coordination: With the blessing from our fearless Graduating class of '91 - Class secretary, Louis Hamel, I have taken the lead to coordinate the best possible turn-out  for this event, for individuals mentioned in the "For who" paragraph above.  I have been able to identify valorous representatives for each squadron, tasked with tracking (with your assistance) the colleagues that may have shared with you the CMR St-Jean experience, be it for 3 months, 1, 3 or 5 years.  I've elected to go with class of entry representatives because we were way more at the beginning than at graduation; it also allows us to reach those who have gone to RMC.  The identified representatives are as follows:
 
 1 Squadron: Eric Couillard, Couillard.E@forces.gc.ca
 2 Squadron: Louis Hamel, hamel.kl@sympatico.ca
 3 Squadron: Stéphane Bilodeau, jsbilodeau@sympatico.ca
 4 Squadron: Bruno St-Pierre, bstpierre@sba-inc.qc.ca
 5 Squadron: Ghislain Létourneau, Letourneau.JBG@forces.gc.ca
 6 Squadron: Alain Dussault, alain.dussault@bell.ca
 7 Squadron: Jean-François Jolin, jjolin@nortel.com
 8 Squadron: André Richard, Richard.JAA2@forces.gc.ca
 
 Your tasks (if you agree):

 1. Contact your representative to:

 a. update your contact information such as address, phone number, and preferred e-mail address;
 

b. advise if you intend to take part in the 15-16 September 2006 weekend, and if so to what activities.  You will also need to register/pay for the activities by going through the site mentioned at the "How?" paragraph above;

c. indicate if you'll need accommodations for the weekend (we'll try to obtain deals on rooms based on business volume we may bring);

d. advise if you are interested in participating in a class activity on Saturday noon/afternoon such as a family BBQ on the college grounds with sports like soccer, volleyball and softball;

e. provide any information that could be useful in tracking your entry squadron colleagues or graduating class companions that would not appear on the following list (individuals to whom I have sent this e-mail);
 
 See French version.
 
f. advise if you live in the Montréal/St-Jean area and if you can help a bit if required, or if you have contacts that could help us in organizing this event (deals on accommodations, baby-sitting, BBQ food, etc.).

2. Update your personal info at the following site which is as much for Ex-Cadets from CMR, RMC or RRMC: http://www.classof1991.rmcclub.ca/rmc1991classmates.htm . To do so you have to send an e-mail to <mailto:srgoyette@hotmail.com> to provide your info, as it is presented in the site.  If you have not graduated in '91, have not graduated at all from a military college, it does not matter.  As long as you have a college number and maybe you could have graduated in '91, that's the important thing (if your name is not there it will be added at your request). Please send your info Cc the following addresses: mailto:Cindy.Shelley@rmc.ca>  and <mailto:anciens@cfsj.qc.ca> .  

3. Keep your representative, the RMC Club of Canada, and the CMR Ex-Cadets' Foundation aware of your whereabouts, address, e-mail, phone number, etc., for the rest of your lives!
 
Webmaster required: if one of you could volunteer to set up a simple website for this class reunion, please advise me as soon as possible.
 
Hoping that you will take an active part in this fantastic weekend that will be filled with camaraderie and fun, do not hesitate to contact me at  mailto:Letourneau.JBG@forces.gc.ca> or at ghisetsteph@videotron.ca if I'm out of the office for a while. Cheers,
