Seven months and counting!

It's almost time to say good-bye to 2010 and for some of us it's been a bittersweet year. We'll miss Daddy (Bill) and Georgie...they were a big part of our family and I know they would have been eager participants at our reunion. We must make remembering them and all other family members we've lost a special part of our reunion.
Some plans are slowly coming together...but I need your input. You should be getting an attachment of e-mail addresses soon along with this blog address and I would like it if you would respond to a few questions. First of all, we'll need some money for rentals and other things, so how much money do you think would be ok to ask as a 'donation' to the cause? Is twenty per person too much? Please advise. Also, what do you think of a family picnic in Ingonish on that last Sunday? Would you like a family mass ? Do you want to invite others? Like the Fougere's? Would a wine and cheese be ok for Friday evening or would you like to do something else like a family bowling event? Should we leave Saturday morning open and look at spending the afternoon and evening together? Would a barbecue or potluck be ok here? Should we book some entertainment? Can we incorporate some fun children's activities - maybe a family contest of some sort? How about a karaoke contest? Need to know ages of children attending too I guess...Anyhow, I'd like to hear from you. Let me know your plans and your ideas and wishes. Happy New Year to all and the very best for 2011...Love to all, Marlene
