Dryden Family
Reunion - 2010
It is hard to believe that the next Dryden Family Reunion is almost upon us. I still remember the last 2005 reunion clearly as a huge success and “one of the best reunions ever held” as stated many times on the survey forms by the attendees. It will now be 176 years since the Dryden Family immigrated to Canada from Scotland as we celebrate with our 2010 festivities on July 3rd, and 4th of this year. Please mark this date on your calendar and plan to share in a time of fellowship with your extended Dryden ‘family’.
The Dryden committee / board members have met many times in the last 5 years discussing how well our family members enjoyed the two day event in 2005 and to plan for this years’ expanded program. We have reviewed your suggestions and comments from the survey forms and are looking forward to another fantastic reunion at the Waterloo Police Association near Cambridge, Ontario. This is the perfect setting to host such a prestigious gathering (as we have done in many past years at this same convenient location). The hall has been booked, the catering staff preparing, and the candles are being set for this years’ theme – “From Flicker to Flame”. Our goal for this year is to help educate our young family members, to nurture their knowledge, and encourage them to carry the Dryden Family ‘Flame’ for years to come, just as the Olympic torch has been carried by athletes across this great nation.
