February 16, 2009:
Hello all! I am compiling household names and birth years, home addresses, and phone numbers that you would like to have included on a general roster. Even if you are not attending, it would be nice to have a complete roster for everyone to have. Please try to forward this to me in the next month. Thanks!
So far, there is plenty in store for fun, reflection, and togetherness in August! Looks like the evenings are shaping up to: a family history/culture sharing night, a game night, and a memory night (seems as if the elders have better memories than the middles!). Days are going to be fun with golf, biking, rafting, hiking/walking, shopping, swimming, maybe theatre, and arts!
Keep the ideas coming --- even brief icebreakers (with volunteer facilitators) are still needed. Photos of family members with Grandpa and Grandma may be sent to Tomi. Begin briefing your "other" families' histories and cultures. There is much to be celebrated.
