Others are welcome - just let us know who. To get this first reunion in many years off the ground, we're focused on descendants of Robert & Clara.
2. We are going with Chaps Elba Diner (catering). Menu is mini beef on weck or kaiser rolls (to make on-site), Mac & cheese, chef salad w/dressings, chicken tenders w/sauces, fruit tray & veggie platter. We're working out a price/attendee & estimate an adult rate of $25 and kids 12 & under rate of $12. We'll take cash, check & venmo.
Some relatives have volunteered to bring desserts (Pam/Gene & Lisa). Others are welcome, also.
3. Bring your own:
- chips & dips to share to set out with catered meal.
- drinks. We'll have a cooler w/ice to store them.
- camp/stadium/beach chairs. The pavilion will be set w/picnic tables, but you're likely going to want something more comfortable.
- games, such as co****le, Frisbee, bocci, can-jam, euchre, etc.
4. Kevin & Diane volunteered to also bring large ice chest/coolers w/ice (for drinks), folding tables, table coverings for pavilion picnic tables, and trash/recycling bags.
5. I plan to bring a laptop to access Ancestry.com to review/add to the family tree & also a roll of paper & markers for old-school additions.
That's it for now. See you next month.
