Dear HAFA HFTM Alumni,

We are delighted to invite you to the most anticipated Alumni event of the year – the 2023 Fall Social. You do not want to miss this year's networking event that is taking place on Friday, September 22nd, 2023, at 6:30pm in Guelph, Ontario.

Yes, you heard it right, we’re headed back to our “old stomping grounds” for this year’s Fall Social. In conjunction with the University of Guelph’s Homecoming week, on Friday we plan to gather at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Guelph Conference Centre as an opportunity for alumni, students, and faculty to come together and reunite, forging meaningful connections that transcend time and distance. It is a celebration of the journeys we have undertaken since our time at HAFA HFTM and a testament to the enduring bonds that tie us as a global alumni family.

Hors d’oeuvres and cash bar await, along with the yearly fundraising silent auction. As you know, we present three scholarships to deserving students every year and your donations and participations in this event is greatly appreciated.

The evening is also dedicated to honoring the exceptional achievements of our fellow alumni. The culmination of this celebration will be the presentation of the George D. Bedell Alumni Award, the Leadership/Entrepreneurial Alumni Award, and the Leader of Tomorrow Award. These accolades stand as tributes to the outstanding contributions our alumni have made in their respective fields, and we eagerly anticipate revealing the well-deserving recipients very soon. Stay tuned for the big reveal as we prepare to celebrate their remarkable accomplishments.

To secure your spot at the 2023 HAFA HFTM Alumni Association Fall Social, kindly register here (LINK coming soon) by September 15th. Should you find yourself unable to join us in person or have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to reach out to HAFA HFTM Alumni Association President, Lora Bender at lorabender@gmail.com.

This event promises to be an evening filled with camaraderie, inspiration, and the shared enthusiasm that unites us as proud members of our esteemed alma mater.
