There were graduates present from every decade and the Master of Ceremonies was the Hon. Anthony Eden who was actually a member of the very first class at ICCI in 1970. He is the past Minister of Health and is currently a Member of the Legislative Assembly. The music for the evening was a jazz artist named Devon Edie who was incredible on the saxophone. Our featured speaker was another early graduate of the institution Carlyle McLaughlin who after attending ICCI in the 70's and getting his Bachelor degree, went on to get his Masters in Accounting and CPA and became a Senior Partner with Ernst & Young as well as founding his own computer company. In his speech he talked about all the roles he has had with ICCI suggesting that everyone in the room consider their roles at ICCI. He came up with ten including scholarship recipient, student, graduate, ambassador (he was one of first ICCI students to go abroad for Masters), alumni, spouse of ICCI graduate, faculty member, Board of Trustees member, Donor, and Parent of ICCI graduate. A Power Point of forty years of photographs was shown as were two videos, one made in the Seventies and one recently which really helped show how far and how wide and impact the college has had.
Today is a Family Fun Day out at the college with an open house and lots of kid related activities. Tomorrow a couple of the local churches are doing services in honor of the college. It really was a fantastic start to the weekend of events and we look forward to a great day today. Before we head over to the college today we are going to an event out at Camana Bay called "Yeah Baby" which is an expo of merchants and schools of all things related to kids.
