2015 Old Timer's Dinner

39th

NORTHERN DISTRICT MCA OLD TIMERS DINNER

OCTOBER 22, 2015

Again this year a successful dinner was held at the Polish Hall, Edmonton.  The kitchen staff of the Polish hall again put on a praise worthy dinner.

The total attendance was 118, with 3 new inductees and 17 Old Timers.

There were three new inductees: Jerry Dunn, Bob Schiedeman and Corrine Suttie.

Garry Alexander setup our audio (songs from the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and the 80’s)/visual (2014 Old Timers headshots).

He took photos of attending old timers and the new inductees.  These new photos can be seen below in the slide show.

This year we introduced a game (entertainment) and a door prize. The game was questions on the history of the mechanical trade and events in Edmonton. Angela Schornstein did all the work on preparing the questions and answers. The idea was presented by Bill Lowrie. The table with the most correct answers, each person got a choice of either red or white wine.

The winner of the ipad mini (door Prize) was John Semenuk.

We lost three of our Old Timers:

2016 will be the 40th Dinner and your committee is working to make it a very special event.

2014 OLD TIMERS NIGHT

Again the dinner was held at the Polish Hall where we all enjoyed the sit down help yourself to a turkey dinner with all the fixings.

For the first time, people were able to register for the dinner and purchase their tickets on line at this blog. 

During the social time a video was shown of the 2013 Old Timers group.  We also showed a video honouring those who had passed this year during the reading of their names and during the minute of silence.

This year's entertainment was by comic Ken Hicks.

There were a total of 125 for dinner with 25 being Old Timers. Two new Old Timers were inducted: Jack Johnson, Norm Petrin Sr., and a new surprised inductee, Tom Crecar.

 A group photo was taken which is shown below. As well, a face portrait of the Old Timers was taken by our 'wanna be photographer' Garry Alexander.
