THANK YOU!
As Chairperson for the final reunion of NDHS, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge everyone who contributed in any way to make our reunion weekend an overwhelming success.
What a party we had! Alumni reuniting with friends and teachers, our High School filled to capacity with everyone enjoying the era rooms, the basketball and volleyball games, and our final walk through the halls one more time. These were memories to cherish for the rest of our lives!
This could never have been possible were it not for my amazing committee. We accomplished in 8 months what seemed impossible last fall. To Joan Harris, Gail Underhill, Deb Longthorne, Natasha Longthorne, Jennifer Longthorne, Kristen Prouse, Michelle Warboys, Cheryl Polfliet, Norm and Betty Ryder, Clayton Tokarz, Tim Thompson, Win Longworth, Diane Chambers, Dale Denison, Pierre Vanderweerd, John Griswold, and Arnold DeKwant: we will remain friends forever.
Thank you to each and every volunteer who shared our passion and willingness to work as hard as we did to make our weekend such a success.
We appreciate the generous support of the Norwich Optimists, Norwich Legion, and Norwich Lions’ Club. Your dedication to helping others makes our small town stand proud.
Thanks to all our sponsors for your generous contributions: Bill and Helen Smith, Howard Chambers, Norwich Chamber of Commerce, VMSW SVM Management, Dr. Russell Hall, Vermeersch Farms, Save NDHS Committee, Tirecraft- Al Barnim Inc., Norwich Packers, Norwich Gazette, Old Theatre Flowers, Cottage Gardens, Norwich Foodland , Jostens School Rings, NAPA-Norwich Auto Parts Inc, Staples-Tillsonburg, Vanparys, Micacchi, Shippey & Warnick LLP, and Norwich Tim Horton's.
Our committee would also like to thank: Dan Molinaro and his staff at the high school for providing us unlimited access for our numerous meetings and research; the custodians for all their help and assistance; the St. John’s No. 104 Masonic Lodge for sponsoring the child ID program; Chrissy's Catering for the fantastic meal prepared for our guests; Brent Hanson, our Master of Ceremonies for the evening; Darrell Force for organizing the car show; Kevin Belanger for organizing and co-ordinating the sound for the Norwich Legion sponsored talent show; and Bash Entertainment for keeping the party rockin’ and rollin’ all evening.
May we always have fond memories for those students and teachers who have passed before us.
Let us always remember our special school and the students and staff who may have touched and influenced our lives in a positive manner.
Thanks for the memories!
