Comments: I bet it was great to see Normal Shallcross George. Good for you. I was similarly blessed to see John Edmondson and his lovely wife Resi, here in Ottawa. First time for John to visit Ottawa on vacation! Too bad he flies out on Saturday morning, before our Saturday evening's SHILOBRATS REGIONAL REUNION in the form of a dinner cruise along the 1000 Islands, departing out of Kingston. Watch for pictures!!

Comments: Is everyone ready for the Thousand Island boat cruise? There is not much time left to get your room and cruise booked.
Comments: Well, as luck would have it, we cannot get the discounted dinner cruise and trolley price that we wanted to on August 12th, because we did not have the numbers required. However, a number of us are still interested in taking in the cruise with our fellow shilobrats. It will be a bit more expensive (maybe $15 dollars more) but well worth the memories! I will be writing to the committed Shilobrats to get things organized, but in the meantime, if you let me know, I will include you in the emails!! I will also let you know who all is going.

Comments: Hello I am not a well known shilobrat but went to school in 62-63 if my memory is remembering!! I went to the reunion luncheon for Miss Sheehan in Winnipeg on April 27, 2017. We are going to the car show in Shilo on Canada Day and if any shilobrats are around please look for a gold P.T. Cruiser and sayhello! We will still come if it rains but not sure about our club and the car show. Looking forward to seeing some shilobrats. Thanks. Sharon Davis

Comments: Regarding the August 12/13th dinner cruise and optional overnightin Kingston, Ontario, in order to keep the discounted rate that Bill Brown managed to get for the cruise and trolley ride, we must supply numbers by the beginning of next week. If you know you are planning on attending, and haven't let us know yet, please do so by email to any of the three emails listed in my last post. Hope you can come; it was such fun last time. The entertainer on board was great!!
Comments: Summer is here and everyone enjoy and be SAFE! Cheers Turk

Comments: How would you like to join us on a Dinner Cruise on the St. Laurence River along the 1000 Islands?? Boarding in Kingston, a few of us Shilobrats are able to reserve a cruise on Saturday, August 12th for basically any number of people who can come out. There will be entertainment on board (if just being with fellow shilobrats is not enough!!), and we will have a trolley to take us to the shore and back to the hotel, which we also plan to reserve. The cruise dinners are delightful, and one can meander inside and outside the cruise liner. The cost will be approximately $80 give or take 10 bucks, for both the dinner cruise and the trolley transportation both ways. The hotel has a lounge, swimming pool, etc, and we can provide the approximate cost soon. We can help find roomies if you like, to keep costs down. Also, let us know if you plan on coming to breakfast the next morning (Sunday, August 13), so we can let the hotel know of numbers. If you are interested , please let us know so we can work out numbers. By July 15th we would hope to have commitments from everyone. Organizers are: Faith Power Dirienzo (faithloveschia@icloud.com), Bill Brown (brateone@cogeco.ca and Faye Helgason Linseman (fayeh51@yahoo.com).
