Update on my Reunion

Tweet

As I posted awhile back, my grade 8 graduating class of 1976 is celebrating the 40th anniversary by having a gathering at a restaurant in downtown Toronto. That event is coming up next weekend (May 21st). I posted my concerns about the organizer raising the cost from $35 for the meal to $75 to include a donation to a charity. I thought he should have asked us first. I did pay the full amount because I got my Disability Tax Credit money. However, our fellow classmate has changed the charity from a shelter in Toronto to relief assistance for the Fort McMurray fire victims. Since he never told the shelter about the possible donation, no harm no foul. Now THIS was a great idea, another reason why I did pay the full amount. Tens of thousands of people were evacuated and will continue to be away from their homes (if their homes are still standing) for another two weeks as there is no water or power. I will be driving a car to a subway station and taking the train down to the city and staying in a hotel overnight. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to wear.
