JONES-FAREWELL & TICKETS:

What a wonderful farewell function we had on Friday, June 22, 2007, at St. James The Less for the Jones'.

If you were not there you were missed. We wish the Jones' a long, happy and healthy retirement. The Villagers and FSVGS, Inc. pulled off a very successful evening. It was so good to see everyone. A great time was had by all.

Here is another opportunity to say fare thee well to the Jones'.

I am forwarding some information from Sharon Jones Coombs.

Please get in touch with her at solidsha@optonline.net if you need tickets for this function on Friday, July 28, 2007.

 

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

 

For the past 12 1/2 years our church has been blessed with the guidance and spiritual leadership of a good and faithful servant of the Lord, our devoted Rector, Father E. Ulric C-Jones.  But the Book of Ecclesiastes tells us that "to everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven;" so the time has come for him to pass the torch.

 

Father Jones' last celebrated Mass with us will be held on June 30th 2007; then he will officially resign as Rector of our church on July 31st, 2007.

 

In the view of this, we are honored to pay tribute to him and his dear wife Marilyn by celebrating in the form of a dinner dance at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, JFK Airport in Queens, on Friday July 27, 2007.

 

We are therefore extending an invitation to you and your congregation, hoping that you will join us as we celebrate this very memorable and remarkable occasion.

 

........  The cost is $55.00 each. 

 

It will be our greatest pleasure to have you join us.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

 

Sincerely,

 

Rafael Adams, Gloria Wade

AUSTIN-KUDOS & BEST WISHES

 

Congratulations are in order to the "Austin Family", Thomas and Genie Gurley Austin. On Monday 18th, their daughter Tracy was called to the Ontario Bar. On that day and early in the morning, a number of Villagers:  Henry, Barbara, big sister Karen, and from Edmonton, Auntie Alie and uncle Ken, were privileged to witness Tracy's call to the Ontario Bar at a very lovely ceremony at Roy Thompson Hall in downtown Toronto.  McGill graduate Tracy is the younger daughter of proud parents and fellow Villagers - the Austins, Tom and Geanie (Gurley), and emotional caregiver grandma Hulda - The Treasurer of the Law Society of Upper Canada encouraged all to hoot and holler for their favorite candidate, so we did just that!!! Our heartiest congratulations go out to Tracy and her parents Geanie & Tom Austin on this wonderful accomplishment. We wish you all the best in the future.

 

SAMUEL-BOOK UPDATE:

Vincentian-born Anne Samuel, daughter of the late May & Alfred Samuel of Cane Garden and the USA has informed me that there is now a behind-the scenes-publication to her book "Promised Land" which was published in 2006. The latest publication can be acquired at:
