Fellow Yercaudians,

Its been 13 months since we first convened a meeting to establish a committee with the sole purpose of coordinating a reunion of ex Montfort and SHY staff and students incorporating local, interstate and overseas Yercaudians.

It now 1 November 2007 and with nine sleeps to go we are heading down the straight towards the weekend of events organised to promote the objectives of such reunion.

We are now counting on you, the proposed attendee, to help with giving us details to facilitate the registration process.

Please, having logged on, offer details in the comments box – let us know your arrival dates and time if you are from interstate, and confirm that your conveyance and accommodation is organised.

Also let us know details of your tenure in Montfort / SHY especially the years you attended school.

And most importantly please pass on this log address to others so they could partake in the information update.

Below is a detailed programme of events giving time, location and map reference.

Look forward to sharing a weekend of warmth and friendship in Melbourne.

Melbourne 2007 Reunion Committee.

Dear Fellow Yercaudian,

The spirit of Montfort and SHY, Yercaud has lived and thrived within Australia where ex Montfort & SHY students have been in contact with each other and organised various reunions over the years.

In 2005 our colleagues in Perth made the bold move of putting together a reunion incorporating ex staff and students of both schools from all over Australia. This was a resounding success and the Melbourne folk offered to pick up the baton and host the event in 2007.

In the tradition of the Old Boys and Girls reunion we propose to hold the series of events over the weekend 9^th to 11^th November 2007. On Friday the 9^th we will have a MEET AND GREET where we will provide a forum to give Yercaudians the opportunity to meet, mingle and converse, rekindle old friendships and make new friends, revive old memories and leave with new ones to be cherished forever.

The highlight of the weekend will be the BLUE GOLD & WHITE BALL to be held on Saturday 10^th November 2007. Yearcaudians and families are invited to share an evening of music and dance, dinner, entertainment and the opportunity once more to belt out a rendition of our respective school anthems.

On Sunday we will offer a special THANKSGIVING MASS followed by a LUNCHEON from late morning to the early hours of the evening.

A committee of former students has been established and plans are well underway to raise funds towards promoting & hosting the event to all ex Yercaudians both within Australia and overseas.

All ex Montfort boys, SHY girls, staff and families are invited to be part of this special event. We would be delighted to hear from you indicating your intention to participate.

Please contact us by email or snail mail to the address indicated below. Alternatively please access our web address and keep other Yercaudians informed.

Looking forward to hearing from you and more importantly seeing you in November 2007.

Until then, with our best wishes.
