The
Annual
Ortona
Dinner
will
be
held
again
this
year
at
the
Jericho
Garrison.
The
traditional
dinner
will
be
held
complete
with
a
menu
inspired
by
what
the
soldiers
ate
at
that
fateful
meal
72
years
ago.
We
desperately
need
Veterans
for
this
event
that
we
can
make
nervous
young
Privates
sit
beside.
Whether
your
service
was
in
World
War
II,
Korea,
peacekeeping,
Afghanistan
or
at
home
in
Canada.
Come
with
some
war
stories;
we
can
supply
the
helmets.
The
Vimy
Dinner
is
quickly
becoming
one
of
the
best
Regimental
events
of
the
year.
Over
the
last
two
years
Rick
Ciccone,
Chair
of
the
Vimy
Dinner
Committee,
has
gone
to
great
lengths
to
increase
attendance
and
make
this
event
more
about
the
reunion
and
less
about
the
dinner.
The
day
will
start
with
a
memorial
service
to
remember
our
fallen
Seaforths,
complete
with
a
Vigil
guard
of
serving
members
mounted
around
the
Vimy
Cross.
There
will
then
be
a
brief
reception,
followed
by
dinner.
While
all
the
elements
of
a
formal
mess
dinner
are
included
the
format
has
been
relaxed
so
that
we
do
not
bore
our
guests.
Please
feel
free
to
invite
a
guest
to
give
them
a
chance
to
experience
the
Seaforth
Family.
More
details
on
timings
will
come
out
closer
to
the
event.
We
need
volunteers
to
make
this
event
work.
Please
contact
Rick
Ciccone

ciccone.rick@gmail.com
if
you
are
interested
in
helping
out.
