Alumni and friends came together on June 4, 2016 at the historic Ottawa Tennis and Lawn Bowling Club in Ottawa to celebrate Acadia the good ol’ East Coast way at the Annual Maritime Lobster Picnic in the City. Guests enjoyed live music from a fiddler and guitarist, and a silent auction and donations helped to raise over $2,000 for the Ottawa Alumni Scholar-Bursary to enable local Ottawa students to attend Acadia. Last year’s recipient Chelsea Renaud was on hand to share her story and express her gratitude. Special thanks also to the volunteer committee for the event, including: Suzanne Seaman (’97), Ed (’89) and Heather (’87) Hemphill, Courtenay Beauregard (’04), Russ Francis (’90) and Keelan Green (’98). Seaman said, “the Acadia spirit was in full force as we heard over 70 alumni representing the past seven decades sing ‘Stand Up and Cheer,’ recount stories new and old and dive into an unforgettable lobster dinner.” Pictured enjoying some fun and fellowship are (left to right): Ron Elliott (’51), Asia Reid (’16) and Mitch Mitchell (’51).
