REUNION, 2008...just suggestions, so we can just do it.

Reserve Pine Ridge Lodge and all housing with kitchens in 2007...They are probably not taking reservations before Easter, 2007

We had 30 tables this year, plus the three plastic tables. We could use 30 tables next year, plus five more folding tables?

We must request the stove be turned on prior to our beginning to cook.

We need large outside garbage bags for many cans, and request they leave us 4 to 5 gigantic plastic garbage bags for the really big garbage can.

Donna brought home: 1 large box family teabags. (we used one box this year. Who brought the lemonaide? Did Alec? Did he bring tea?) Jar dill pickles. Jar sweet pickles. Dishwashing liquid. Cleaner with bleach. Much sweet and low. Box zip lock bags. Large garbage bags. She will furnish them for the next reunion.

Donna has dishtowels, plus six salt and pepper shakers.

We used 1 can of coffee and never opened the decaffinated coffee. Let's check to see if anybody drinks decaff before we buy any more.

Sandra suggested we have crawfish and sanwhiches on Friday night next time--no burgers and hotdogs. She said she would get all the makings out for sandwhiches if Alec is bringing the luncheon meats. This is just a suggestion. What do you think? We need to finish crawfish before dark...hard to eat crawfish in the dark. Do we need laterns?

Donna will run the coffee stations next time.

Donna thought the toys on the tables were nifty. Everyone seemed to be entertained.

Donna, Becky and Alec will co-ordinate food so we don't repeat purchases.

Just jump in here...make your suggestions here!!!!


I heard about a "night time egg hunt". This would really have to be for only the young at heart -(that's me - you know I don't know what old means). Everybody gets to use their flashlights (all us kids like to use flashlights) and hunt after dark. We could make that a money maker for the family, pay $1.00 to get to hunt, use plastic eggs and then go for it! Just an idea!
