2012 Reunion - mark the date on your calendar!!

The 2012 Holdaway Family Reunion will be held July 19th - July 22nd at Lincoln State Park.

LAST MINUTE ITEMS

Some final reminders and important items for the reunion this week:

#1 - It's gonna be hot! Today, I found spray mist personal fans at Walmart in the FAN section for either $7 or $9. We bought the $9 ones and they are really fun and "cool". :) Highly suggest you purchase on for the weekend!! There were a lot at our Walmart, but with the heat wave, they might run out, so get yours asap!! And bring extra batteries, because I'm sure they will get a workout!

Also, please bring ALL your fans. If you are not in your sleeping cabins (like when you come up for breakfast), please bring your fans to the Rec Building or Dining Hall so that we can have all the air circulation possible.

Bring lots of water. I'll bring the orange cooler full of drinking water. Be sure to stay hydrated. Consider bringing a couple extra gallons of water more than you usually do.

#2 - Don't forget swimsuits, towels and sunscreen. Remember, there is an awesome pool to cool off from the heat. I imagine we'll be there a lot on Friday. :)

#3 - There is a field to play softball. We didn't get to do this last time, because it rained. It will be hot, so maybe people won't want to play, but just in case, don't forget to throw in your softball stuff! If someone wants to step up and get this going Friday night, it's all yours. :)

#4 - Check-in is at 3pm on Thursday. We are planning to arrive by then to unlock everything, so feel free to arrive whenever. Last time we were at Versailles we put the snacky stuff in the Rec Bldg and the meal stuff in the Dining Hall. That seemed to work. Feel free to do whatever you think works.

#5 - Cabin assignments will posted in the dining hall by the sign up sheets. Please check out your cabin assignment and take the opportunity to sign up to help for the weekend.

#6 - Label all your stuff.

#7 - Make sure we get the kids involved in activities and chores for the weekend!! There will be a special craft for the kiddos too!
