Congratulations!

Welcome class of 2011 and way to go! You are about to embark on a heck of a journey and hopefully we at medshouse can help make it as fun as possible! We have a few rooms up for grabs for the upcoming year, so give us a call to learn more about living at the house: Her Presidency Katie is at (613) 739-0788 (but not in june). We are looking for a few outgoing, responsible first years who like to have a good time but aren't afraid of a dishwasher.

But if moving in isn't for you, you can still become a member of the house and enjoy all the social aspects - not to mention a place to hang out that's a mere 2 minutes from class. You'll learn all about membership in the first week of classes.

Congratulations again, and welcome to Queen's!

Dates to Remember!

Alumni and Members at Large! Get out your calenders, here are some dates to remember:

October 28th - Halloween Party!
Definitely the largest Halloween Party on campus, put on your party suit and come out!

November (perhaps the 12th?) - Tentative Mortgage Pay-off Pig Roast
We'll be able to pay off the mortgage of the 1970s finally this year through alumni donations and savings, and have decided to roast a pig in celebration. (It's the same weekend as Medical Variety Night, so alumni come and see the R-rated Saturday show, then stay Sunday for some pig ;)

November 25th - Christmas Party
Another Meds House all-you-can-eat, all-you-can-drink shindig, accompagnied by the annual roasts.

end of January/early February - Meds House Formal

Hope to see you there!

Welcome Back Party!

This year's Welcome Back Party was a huge success with the popular 'White Trash' theme, which in no way had to do with the town in which Meds House resides.

Welcome Back!

With the start of another school year, the crew at Meds House would like to say a big 'How the hell are you?' to returning students and an even bigger 'Welcome to the family' to new ones. We started our membership drive with a kick with yet another successful 'Movie Night' during Orientation Week, and continue it with a week of free lunches for the first years. Membership benefits can be found under the 'About us' tab, but include social parties, academic insight, and plain old good times. Two options exist for the out-of-house members: The Meal Plan option, so mom can be happy that you're getting at least one good meal a day, and the Social Membership, for those with an appetite for fun (oh dear, sorry for that one). Please don't hesitate to contact us at (613) 546-6504 or drop by the house anytime with questions.

For Alumni - the Delta, the official newsletter of Medical House, should be arriving any moment at your doorstep, and so begins another fundraising drive. Planned renovations to the house are a much needed electrical update, as well as new appliances for the kitchen. A third members-only party may be added this year as well if all goes as planned - the November 'Mortgage Burning' Pig Roast! Please stay tuned for more information about 'Doctoberfest' happening this Homecoming Weekend, but in the meantime get your appetites ready for some sausages on the lawn . . .

Interview Weekend Martini Parties:

The two martini parties hosted at Meds House during the interview weekends were huge successes! Potential future Queen's medical students mingled with current students from all the years, and hopefully got a taste of how fun Queen's (and Meds House) can be!

Annual Medical House Formal

A little late, but here's an update on our annual house formal, where a good time was had by all. The tyros chose a vague 'Asian' theme this year, and did not disappoint! Featured in the display were 'the Japanese Tea Room', 'the Temple' and 'the Garden':

Tyro Night Formal Dinner

This year's dinner was a fabulous success. From the 27 tyros who joined the house this year (many are 'social members', a newly added level of membership that is still pending review by the executive), to the 15 or so alumni who came out this year, we had an absolutely great time. Making an appearance for the night was none other than (well I said I wouldn't post him publically but he hasn't been to Tyro night in a very long time!). The dinner featured all the prime rib we could eat, and the evening's activities were quite fun indeed.

Doctoberfest!

As with last year's Queen's Homecoming weekend, this weekend we once again held our world-famous Doctoberfest (tm). Featuring a couch, a barbeque and all the sausauge you can eat, we managed to see quite a few Meds House alumni from the 70s, 80s, 90s and even recent alumni as well. This author was woken up by two alumnists who were eager to see my room (their former room many years ago), but then again noon is usually a good time to wake up! Thank you all for coming out, and a special thanks for the many donations that we recieved for the house from the alumni!

Catholic School Disco!

The theme of our welcome back party this year was the same as the previous. Back by popular demand, we once again hosted the Catholic School Disco. It was very well attended and everyone had a great time. Here's some pictures of the party for those interested:
