“My home away from home” is my impression of Sidney-Pacific every time I think about my days as a resident. By no small measure, the 10th year reunion cemented that viewpoint even more. It was truly a delight to be a part of a fabulous reunion weekend both as an alum and as an organizer. The reunion gave me a chance to meet many of my friends from years past as well as their families – a sign that the Sidney-Pacific family is ever-growing. The reunion committee’s work was quite an exciting adventure. I certainly indulged in the verve that many an SP event brings about. The reunion video was one such effort. Some years back, a bunch of us went through a similar exercise to put together an orientation video for incoming residents. We thought we did a fine job. However, one look at the reunion video and I am sure you will echo at our previous video: ‘What amateurs!’ In many ways, helping organize the 10th year reunion brought my involvement with Sidney-Pacific a full circle. I have been quite fortunate to have been part of the group of students that helped found Sidney-Pacific and I am indeed grateful to have worked alongside current SP residents to organize the 10th year reunion. I look forward to many more such events that bring SP alumni together.

I definitely would encourage alums to share tidbits from your own lives and stay in touch. We are several thousand strong in number and the uniqueness of Sidney-Pacific makes us a professional network unlike any other. It is up to us to continue to strengthen our connections.
