Activities

There are two to three major functions each year besides the monthly or bi-monthly committee meetings, The major activities are:

  1. Annual General meeting – this is an annual event where the current year’s committee members are elected. We usually have this meeting around April or May of each year.

  2. Annual Valentine Ball – this is one of the major events in Toronto where a group of Catholic schools get together and celebrate Valentine’s Day and building friendship.  SFX is one of 10 schools that participated for the last 15 years. Attendance for the ball boasts anywhere from 1000 to 1200.  SFX dropped out in year 2003 and rejoined in 2004

  3. In 2004, we hold a few successful Dinner Seminars.  The topics vary from Estate Planning to Mutual Fund, from Windows & Doors to Strawboard .  A local restaurant with good food is usually very well received by our Members.

Members are encouraged to participate with their families.  What better way is there to spend a day or a dinner with old friends and talk about the good old nostalgic days.
