Renunion Details

Dear Francis Family and Friends,

We are so excited that you are planning to be a part of this great family reunion. The count at present is about 54 adults and 23 children, a wonderful response to this gathering.
We will be meeting at the Willow Bend Reserved Picnic area in the Rocky River Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks (see map in the next post-see right). Do hope that you can join in on many of the following:

12:00 - 1:00 p.m. - gather at Willow Bend to meet and greet
1:00 - 2:00 p.m. - eat main meal
2:00 - 6:00 p.m. - games, crafts, music, sharing, photos, etc
6:00 - hotdogs and leftovers from lunch
7:00 - campfire, singing and smores

Here’s a few things you can do to help:
l. Bring a food item to share - see list and send back a reply so we don’t
all come with same things. Plan to bring coolers with ice for cold items.
There are a few electrical outlets if needed.
2. Share the cost of the picnic area, chicken to be purchased, paper
products, etc at $10 per person, or $25 for a family.
3. Bring a wrapped White Elephant Gift for each member of your group - a
good time to clean out your closets!
4. Lawn chairs
5. Musical instruments - bring your favorite music and perhaps we can get a
Jam session going
6. Kids games (lots of green space), balls, baseball gloves
7. Earliest picture of yourself or family that can be clipped to a clothesline
8. Pop, water, lemonade, iced tea will be provided; BYO beer or wine

Please send a reply back (to mrtrausch@earthlink.net) as soon as possible or by August 15 at the latest so we have an accurate count to purchase the chicken and hotdogs. We look forward to seeing you and enjoying a great day together.
