Reunion Update!!

Hello to everyone.

Here is a schedule of the meals for the reunion:

Friday evening-Thornhill family- fajita's.

Saturday morning breakfast is on your own.
Lunch -11:30am -Miller family and the Holleman's. Sub sandwiches are the plan for now.

Saturday evening - Mike Watkins family and Susan - a cook out.

Sunday morning-Pat's family and the Holleman's. Susan will be making Mom's coffee cakes. Yeah.

Everyone is responsible for their entire meal except for beverages. Preparing and clean up, plates, utensil's etc. is included in the meal. Every family will provide their own beverages and snacks (remember that we had an over supply of those at the last one so maybe cut in half the amount you bring).

The date is less than a month away so if you need a hotel you probably need to contact the Hampton Inn in Abilene and secure your rooms. We have a block under Watkins family reunion. They were holding the rooms until May 25th. We have a fun activity planned for Saturday afternoon. Hope all have a great day.
