Aunt Bonnie and I tok it upon ourselves to make some assignments for the fam reunion. We haven't called anyone, so if you have an objection to your assignment or wish to add or make any changes, please let me know. Also, let me know if you accept your assignment.

For Friday night, we thought since everyone will be arriving at different times, each fam can be in charge of feeding themselves that night. We would like to suggest, though, that if Aunt Maureen is coming, she could bring a snack for that night, such as crackers and cheese, or chips and dips and fruit and veggies or what ever she would choose.

We decided it was too hard to try to fit in three meals on Saturday last year, so we think a brunch and a dinner should suffice.

Brunch on Saturday would be assigned to DeAnn's fam.

Dinner on Saturday would be assigned to Bonnie's fam.

Brunch on Sunday would be assigned to Debbie and Grandpa's fam.

Each family would supply the paper products for the meal they are in charge of.

Also, everyone should bring a snack to share. This would be the younger members of the families, meaning the grandchildren of Grandpa Jim.

Since the Alders and the Rasmussens are providing the venue, they are off the hook for providing a meal.

We wondered if DeAnn and/or Sarah would consider being in charge of a craft perhaps using their stampin up stuff. Cards, or picture frames, or whatever else you might come up with. If you don't want to mess with it or if it stresses you out to think about it, please say, because we don't want to make you feel like you have to do it. Just an idea.

Will Grandpa Jim be in charge of Sunday morning meeting, like last year?

That's all for now. Please add any ideas you might have or if there is anything you're not happy with, please post it.

I'm looking forward to the reunion again this year and I hope everyone else is too.
Thank you Alders!!

ONE LAST THING: Please post how many you expect to have at the reunion so we will know what to plan for food. I know this will likely change and we can get a better count when we get closer.
