Reunion Update

Date: Saturday, November 29, 2008

Time: 10:00 am
The room will be open at 10am and Alana will be taking a group photo of everyone at around 11am. We will eat when the meal can be ready after the photo. Alana has offered to set up her equipment to take family group photos also. She has asked me to pass along that photos turn out better if everyone in the photo is in a solid muted color(stripes, plaids, loud colors don’t work well). I hope we can take lots of photos of different groups, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren etc. If you would like to check out Alana’s photography her website is www.portraitsbyalana.com.

Location: Christ United Methodist Church

Attendees: Georgia has said that she would like to have all the family together once more so we are striving to have all of Garnet and Georgia's descendants in attendance. Unless someone gets married between now and then and if everyone is able to make it we are looking at 48 people(counting the two babies that are due between now and then.) Any other family that would like to attend is invited.and I have talked with Pat, Deamer and others so we could be looking at more than 48.

Details:
This is Bonnie and Randy's church and they have told us that there are plates, glasses, silverware available. We do need to provide some paper plates and cups for the children, or those like me who tend to be clumsy.

Joan has volunteered to bring a Honey Baked Ham, I will bake a Turkey but we probably need to have at least one more meat. Each family will provide vegetables, salads, desserts and/or drinks enough to feed their family.

Randy has said that there is a basketball court on the opposite end of the room from where we will be and we can set up TV's with movies to entertain the children.

Kristy is working on a power point presentation. Tim has volunteered to make a banner and I plan to have for each family a CD/DVD with a copy of the family genealogy, the memories book I compiled a few years ago, all the death certificates, marriage licenses and photos that I have(it looks like this could be several hundred photos).
