September 24

Hello all:
Here's the midweek update - thanks for the new e-mail addresses (added). Please continue to send them in - we now have close to 200 names of former employees on the distribution.
* I've added 5 new photos to the facebook web site today. Please check them out and feel free to join the group (friends of nortel galway). I'm sure some of the added photos will bring back memories….dancing (if that's what it is???), some of our former female employees, and some dodgy celebrations from the past - there will be plenty more on the night
* As a reminder, the deadline to win the VIP package for the Nov 1st Ball is September 30th. Please contact us at charity@nortel.com to reserve your tickets. We will post the winner on the blog/website on the morning of October 1st.
* I've added a special memoir to this e-mail. There may even be some of you who "applied" based on this advert. This photo is also on the facebook site.
* Ollie Daniels has just 2 bottles of champagne left for potential alumni ambassadors….we're looking to give your table a nice bottle of champagne, presented by Ollie on the night…so if there are a group of you out there, and can make a table of 10, let me know and I'll have a bottle on ice when you arrive.


PS: Tom Waldron, Donall O'Murchu, Eimear Schumacher, and Pete McNally - thanks for your confirmations on facebook and via e-mail to attend the ball. We're looking forward to seeing you all there.
Next update on Saturday.
Dave
