All Newington Old Boys take a bow! The establishment of the ONU Mental Health Fund has not only been to the benefit of many Old Boys and their families but is now being emulated by Shore. Alexander Pagonis (ON 2010) writes “It is an amazing initiative that the ONU came up with a few years back, and it is incredible to know that the work we do not only has the ability to improve the lives of members within our Newington community but is now encouraging others within our broader GPS network to do the same for their individual communities.”
