‘'s for a celebration

providing technical expertise with the assistance of audio-visual
supervisor, Kathleen Cosgrove. Dianella Knight in MPS took
photos. James Cooke, dean of Student Services and Foundation
programs, penned the skit, How many administrators does it
take to change a light bulb? Great job, Jim. You very possibly
could quit your day job (but don’t). Barry Williamson, from
the Registrar’s Office, and Counselling’s Lynne Hamilton
composed the staff song, and I wrote the faculty skit. Theatre
Art instructor, Stephen Atkins, provided directorial talent to
the faculty skit, while Theatre technicians Peter Gerencher
handled the sound and Jeff Rosen dimmed and brightened the
lights. Retired Mathematics instructor, Bob Rennie, donated
one of his watercolours, which was raffled and won by dean of
College/Community Partnerships Stephanie Forsyth. The
raffle raised more than $600, which will be matched by the
Ministry of Advanced Education, Training and Technology.
The money will go towards an emergency fund for College
students. Foundation executive director, Lana Robinson,
Foundation assistant, Christine Craft, and College Relations’
Shannon Spagnut all lent a huge helping hand before, during
and after the celebration. Professional Film Studies instructor,
Cam Williams, is making a special videotape of the event.
Theatre student Leslie West volunteered as stage manager, and
Beaver Foods graciously supplied the refreshments at a reduced
cost. Des Price, manager of the Performing Arts Theatre, helped
pull technicians, volunteers, and props together and Facilities
came to the rescue, as usual, with some fine wood crafting. All
the participants in the event deserve recognition for their
courage and willingness to be involved. Finally, a big thank
you to the College executive management group who acted as
the 30th anniversary advisory committee. Each and every one
of these people listed here were responsible for making the
event a success. — Shelley Kean
