We have two USA Reunions coming up in the next few weeks and we have been delighted with the fantastic response to both.

San Francisco

Our San Francisco Reunion is a lunch on Sunday 25 September commencing at 12.30pm. We will be gathering at The Terrace Bar of The Waterbar Restaurant, 399 The Embarcadero, San Francisco. Their website is http://www.waterbarsf.com/#home if you would like to have a look.

We have 12 attending from Newington, so it will be a great lunch. On the day we will be joined by Alumni from Brisbane Grammar, Brisbane Girls Grammar and Abbotsleigh, together with AIS USA Foundation Chairman Doug Elix AO and his wife Robin and fellow Director Ian Diery (ON 1967) and his partner Andrea Chidley.

It is not too late to book, there is no charge to attend, so Book Here and we look forward to seeing you in the ‘City by the Bay’ on the 25^th.

New York

The New York Reunion on Saturday 1 October is shaping up to be our best ever. We have over 20 attending this evening cocktail event and if you are in New York or nearby on that weekend, you should not miss this one. AIS USA Foundation Director Dr Peter Green (ON 1964) and his partner Marise Santo are hosting us in their Chelsea home, which is a converted auto garage – that in itself is worth coming along to see.

The address is Apartment 2A, 214 West 17 Street in Chelsea, just near the Highline. Make a day of it – a light lunch at the Chelsea Markets, walk the Highline and then join us for drinks and canapes from 7.00pm. Two of our Old Boys featured in the previous edition, Chris Blackadder (ON 1991) and Luke Fryer (ON 1994) will be joining us, together with Peter Green’s fellow AIS USA Foundation Directors Bob Young (ON 1960) and Ian Thomas (ON 1963), to name a few.

Again, there is no cost to attend but we ask you to Book Here for catering purposes. It is not too late to book and we hope you can come.

Finally, a reminder that these reunions are part of our biennial visit to the US to promote the philanthropy of the AIS USA Foundation. The Foundation was established by Newington in 2006 and this year we are celebrating ten years of successful giving to some 25 member schools. Four members of the Board are Newington Old Boys and Newington continues to be the biggest beneficiary due to the generosity of our North American Alumni.
