PeopleSoft Canada Reunion BlogEmail peoplesoftreunion@gmail.com for more information March 11 Donation made on behalf of PeopleSoft EmployeesThanks to the people who attended and especially those who had to cancel at the last minute but still chose to donate there ticket fees, $1111.23 was donated to the North York Harvest Food Bank who collects, sorts and distributes food to a network of more than 60 community programs that provide food to approximately 25,000 children and adults a month.
We also would like to thank our "accountant" Frances Song for all of her hard work coordinating all of the funds and expenses, and our social convenor, Mark Myers who arranged the venue and negotiated the costs with the Crocodile Rock.
January 26 Pictures are up !!!So after much anticipation, we had a heck of a night with 86 people making it out.
We had one digital camera that we passed around and had turns taking pics with. Good thing we work with computers because our photo skills REALLY SUCK !!! Anyway, I digress... ;-)
I've gone through the pics and only took out the red-eye where necessary. (Sorry Rick Black, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't fix yours and you'll see why). Scott Sawyer's attempt to take a "crotch shot" was taken out because for some reason, nothing showed up ! Go figure??? Anyway, I digress again.
The pics are up and yes, I think a lot of people had a pretty darn good time. It was great to see the smiles, the hugs, and Tom Maras and John Donahue finally relaxing enough to take their ties off.
We're still doing a tally on the costs and ticket money and will have a total of what we'll be donating to a local charity soon, so stay tuned.
We've had people mention that we should do this again, maybe in the summer. Based on the excellent turnout, who knows? If you want another "get together," your feedback would be appreciated.
I was talking to Jeff Taylor on the way out and he made an interesting comment, "Do you realize the amount of brain power in that room? Think about it..."
He's right. Think about the amount of experience, the skills in that room. Sales, marketing, consulting, The Lab, NetOps, EdServices, management, HR, admin, and legal. There was a lot of brain power there. We had enough people and skills there to start up a brand new company.
It was nice to hear people reminisce about the past. Pete Smith had it right, we had a good thing at PeopleSoft, and you don't really realize it until it's gone.
So, just to make people reminisce a little more, here are some of my thoughts of my time at PeopleSoft, and what I'll always remember....
I could go on... What are some of your memories? I know that the people who put this little event together (Mark Myers, Pete Smith, Frances Song, and Marilyn Ridley) are quite happy and relieved that it was a success. I'm not sure why there were any worries about the reunion considering the fact that everyone who's ever been a part of PeopleSoft has always had that work hard, play hard mentality. Given that, the success of this reunion was pretty much a given. So... to those people who made it out, it was great seeing you again. To those that couldn't make it out, we missed you and hope to see you again sometime soon.

January 25 Hope everyone had some fun....Well, by all accounts, last night was a success. We had 90 people attend the event and enjoy see all of their old friends again.
We had people from as far away as Ottawa, Brockville, and London drive in. Even the team from Niagara drove in for the event.
We'll be posting the pictures here in the next couple of days, so stay tuned !!! January 24 TONIGHTS THE NIGHT !!!!Yes, the night is almost here.
We've had over 90 people confirm that they are coming and more are still contacting us? Will we break the 100 mark??? Who knows.
But, if you haven't let us know you're coming, please do so ASAP so we can confirm the food order. Send an email to peoplesoftreunion@gmail.com as soon as you can to let us know, if you haven't already contact Frances, or if you haven't recieved an invitation.
For those of you who can't make the party due to work or other issues, we'll have a round for you and post some pictures here.
Cheers ! January 16 10 Days and Counting !It is now less than 10 days to the event of the year, the 2007 PeopleSoft Toronto Reunion. We really need your help to make this a great event. If you plan to attend, please send Frances your cheque today. That way, we can have an accurate count for the room and the food. By the way, since the bar only charges us for who shows and how much we drink, any money left over from this event is being donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank. So, if last minute changes prevent you coming or you are driving and not drinking, be assured, your money will be going to a good cause. See you all soon… |
