Tom's Place @Best Western on Princess Street

The holiday season came early this year for SLC retirees. We mixed and mingled at Tom’s Place, snacked at the buffet table and gave generously to the Partners in Mission Food Bank. A good start to Christmas and time to wish bon voyage to snowbirds. See you in the Spring!

Annual September Golf Tournament and 19th Hole
​Social Get-together Tuesday September 6, 2022
at The Landings

​The 24th Annual St. Lawrence College Retirees Golf  Tournament, organized as always by Steve Graves and Jerry Zabel, was held on Tuesday, September 6, 2022 (the first day of classes) at The Landings Golf Course.
 
The "19th hole" gathering in The Landings Clubhouse at the conclusion of play, was organized by the SLC Retirees Association. Golfers and non-golfers gathered to enjoy some snacks, good conversation and a cash bar. A donation of $10 helped to offset the cost of the food.

Lake Ontario Park Pavillon

What can be said about the Strawberry Social?
     It was tasteful? It certainly was tasty!
​     It was a colourful event? Red, white and orange on the green background that is Lake Ontario Park in Kingston! The strawberry strawberries were picked fresh at Fruition Farm and heaped on smooth white Breyers natural vanilla ice cream and spongy orange-coloured mini flans.
     “It takes a team and we did it very well, even second helpings!” says Janet Reid, captain of the team, refusing to name those who enjoyed thirds. “Clare Rayner was all around cheerleader, collecting funds, distributing name tags and garbage patrol.  She never quits!! The Incredible servers were Nancy, Pennie, Joan Gardiner and Elisabeth.”
     The final word? Yummy!

 Root Cellar Memories

Dick Tindal's Retiree Association column in a recent issue of Voyageur  focused on the Root Cellar and its role in the rich social life of the college in the early decades. Dick  issued an invitation to our members to share their memories of this venerable site.  He is pleased to pass along this contribution from John Mason which illustrates the extensive volunteer activities of early Root Cellar members.
