However, to reduce our environmental impact, it would be great if each family would consider bringing their own re-useable plates, cups and utensils. For those staying at the Black Knight Inn, it would also be a consideration for you to arrange for carpooling to the Reunion to reduce our carbon footprint.

Hi Everyone;

Well all planning is basically done for the Reunion. I love being the organizer in that I get to delegate. Everyone has thankfully accepted their tasks and will be taking responsibility for them. So don't leave things to the last minute. Just so you are aware, there is an allowance in the Reunion Budget for petty cash, so if you have some expenses for your task, keep your receipt and you will be compensated.

I will keep you all posted on any minor changes as they arise.

If you will be bringing food that requires refrigeration, it would be recommended that you bring a cooler just in case the fridge at the Hall becomes too full. Finally, if you wish to enjoy a beer or a glass of wine, it will be BYOB. I need to confirm that we can get a liquor license.

Hi Everyone;

Well all is proceeding well as far as the Reunion is concerned. Considering the responses from all of you, it appears that the July 2010 long weekend is a go. Therefore, I have gone ahead and reserved the Balmoral Community Hall in Red Deer for July 2nd and July 3rd. So book your calendars for the Together Again in 2010 Family Reunion. I will be contacting you in the coming months regarding some of the planning and to find out if your willing to help with some of the activities or putting together some meals etc. If you have some thoughts on some of the activities that might occur over the weekend let me know. Thanks for showing an interest in the Reunion. It's going to be an amazing time and it's going to be wonderful to see familiar and new family faces.

Don't forget to e-mail me if your still on the "Interested" list and want to be moved to the "Available" list.

Terry

Hi Everyone;

I have received responses from most of you (I still have to hear from Steve Blair and the Hollman Clan except for Darlene who has gotten back to me) and there is definitely excitement in the possibility of getting together. From some of your comments, there appears to be an interest in having the Reunion after the school year ends which I believe is June 30th. I think it would be cool to have the gathering in Red Deer where we have so many memories and we might want to consider going back to the Balmoral Community Hall where we had the Spree for Relatives Galore in 1994.

So at the moment, I would propose that the Reunion take place on Saturday July 3rd, 2010 in Red Deer at the Balmoral Community Hall. This gives everyone a chance to travel to Red Deer on Friday and return home on Sunday.

Let me know what you think by sending me an e-mail at terrylawson@shaw.ca

Family Reunion

Hi Everyone;

The reason for this letter is to put out a feeler to see if there is an interest in getting together for a family gathering. The Spree of 1993 was a long time ago and a lot has happened in all of our lives, so it would be a great to get together to re-connect with each other and meet all the new additions to the family.

I haven’t really considered when this get together might be at this time, but it is possible that it would be in the spring or early summer of 2010. I would propose that it be a simple affair with an informal gathering for at least a day where we could casually visit at a location that is convenient for all of us. The kids could play; we could all enjoy some food, share some stories and just enjoy being together.

This e-mail is being sent to everyone through either myself, Aunty Patsy, Allan Hollman or Mel Belich. As you respond back through them, I hope to be able to get everyone’s e-mail address to make future communications easier.

Let me know what you all think by e-mailing me at terrylawson@shaw.ca and we will see where we go from here.

Terry Lawson
