Quarterly Alumni Update
September 2017

A new cadet year started last Thursday and all of the returning cadets appeared to have had a fantastic summer. Also last Thursday, the Cornwell Branch held its first Branch Meeting of the new cadet year. Though the Alumni activities were in summer mode for the past three months, we do have some news to report below.

May 2020 is fast approaching! Your Alumni team is starting preparations for the upcoming celebration of our Corps’ 100th anniversary. We will be asking your opinion on the type of celebration/reunion you want to have. So, stay tune to our Facebook page and website, and don’t forget to send in your pictures and stories of your time as a member of RCSCC John Travers Cornwell VC!

Be sure to visit our website (http://jtcvcAlumni.ca) and join our Facebook group (JTCVC Alumni) so you can stay up to date on all the news and information about upcoming Alumni activities.

Looking forward to another great year,
The Alumni Team.
