Well it has been a while.  Time to put out some dates and info for the 2010 reunion.  First the dates.  From the responses I received a different time of year for weather was wanted.  After much deliberation and avoiding holidays and key events, the dates for this year are Sept 24-26^th.  I know this will affect some.  Everyone must understand we can not satisfy all concerns. 

We looked for alternate locations in the area.  We had some suggestions and researched them all.  We can not find a single location to fulfill all of our requirements any better or cheaper than our previous location.  Our main concern is to have our evening and night festivities in one spot so there is no reason for anyone to go out driving.  So we will remain at the Holiday Inn. 

Now for the not so good news.  Due to the economy we are not getting the sponsor support we have in the past.  We may have to cut back on catered meals and or require more money per person to cover expenses.  If we have no sponsors it would cost approximately $100 per person to have the same catered meals we had last year.  That was Friday night hors d’oeuvres, Saturday breakfast and dinner, Sunday breakfast and evening hors d’oeuvres.  I need some feed back on what the group wants to do.  Do we want to stop the catering and deal with meals on our own or collect money to cover?  Or a variable of that?   We can cut out some of the meals and there for the amount of money needed from each person.  Please let me know what you think.
