How are those arm muscles?

We're all set for you to slam that jacket! You can now register to attend Homecoming 2019!

Has it already been 5 years?!


The first email about our 15-year homecoming went out today. Hopefully you received it in your inbox. If not, check your junk folder, or you can access HERE. There are instructions for how to subscribe (or unsubscribe) to the email list.

We've already got a food truck booked and we're talking to other 2004 classes about a joint Friday night event.

There are lots of other official Queen's events going one that weekend. You can read about them here.

But hopefully you can join the Sci04 events as well. Last time around, we had a great turnout and hopefully the planned events make it easy for you to connect with old friends.

Hope to see you there!!!

Hello Sci04

I hope everyone is enjoying summer (or winter if you are south of the equator).  This email is a friendly reminder to get ready for homecoming and to answer any questions.  All information can be found on our blog page (http://sci04.blogspot.ca/index.html).   Please feel free to email us if you have any further questions or suggestions.

Accomodations:

Sci04 has fully booked our allocation at the Best Western Fireside Inn & Conference Center reserved by the university.  The university has provided a Google link that lists the hotel/inn/B&B/etc. options in and around Kingston: https://goo.gl/maps/U0mJ4. Chatting with past years there is also some out-of-the-box options, like cabins/lodges, even RVs rented and brought somewhere like Lake Ontario Park.  As early as this morning the committee was able to find hotel rooms available at the Travelodge.  Please let us know if you are having any difficulty and we will help you out as best we can.

Activities for the weekend.

Kick Off Anouncement

Hello Sci04

Can everyone please turn up their hearing device, I have an important announcement to make before Bingo.  Our 10 year reunion is upon us this Fall and we wanted to get the word out!  It is true, this October 17th, 2014 we will be celebrating 10 years since we left Queen's and entered the "real" world!

We will just assume you that you are interested and move right into what you need to do now, and in the near future.  There is still some organizing that needs to be completed but the first steps are done.  The last reunion organizing committee is happy to help organize again but would really love some support so if you are interested write back to any of us (seriously, please help John Mould is now an actual gold statue and useless).

What do YOU need to do first?
1) Write back to this email and indicate you are interested and the best contact email we can reach you at
2) Let us know if you want to help out with organizing in any way
3) Indicate if you have a significant other joining you so we can ensure there is enough pancakes and beer for everyone
4) Contact the Best Western Fireside to book a room in a block of rooms that Queen's has reserved for us.  The booking can be made under "Science 04".  There are limited rooms to start but we can add more as people book them up, but don't delay because other years are doing the same!
5)  Book off the weekend (and Friday) in your calendar
6) Start looking for your GPA
7) Check our the website where all the important party information will be located (sci04.blogspot.ca
8) Forward on this email to everyone you can think of in our year to make sure we reach as many people in our year as possible.

We will be circulating a schedule and tickets in the near future along with updating the website with all the information for everyone. 

If you have ANY questions, comments or ideas please don't hesitate to contact us!

Very excited to see everyone
