Meeting of the Savoy Subcommittee

There were 10 out of 22 of us together this weekend (well 6 of 14 if you just count adults), so we talked a little about the Bylund Bash. Here is a (partial) summary of some of the ideas.

  • Friday would probably be the best day for going together to Gettysburg, either for a half day or full day. It would be good to define what we will do together that day, so that anyone who want to do more could do other things on Thursday before check-in at 4 pm. Monday after check out would be another good time to see additional sites in Gettysburg.
    Saturday would probably be the best day for staying around camp, doing water slide, mini-golf, etc.
  • Sunday, we thought we might go (just) to Fast and Testimony meeting. The closest building is a 1170 Kohler Mill Rd, New Oxford, about 5 miles East of Gettysburg. Sacrament meetings are at 9:00 (Hanover Ward) 1:00 pm Gettysburg Ward (and at 11:00 am (New Oxford (YSA) Branch)). We should also take a family picture on Sunday and perhaps do the Book Club also.
  • Suggestions for kid’s activities: Simple arts and crafts; Nana’s Fishing Pond; Stories with Nana; games.
  • One night (Friday?) have a Variety Show (Kevin and Emily volunteered to be in charge): Sound of Music reenactment; Kevin juggling; Nana with a Dancing Grannies number; Kristen clogging.
  • Jenny and Aaron volunteered to be the Gettysburg resource couple because they were there recently.
  • One night (Saturday?) have Stations. Perhaps one in each of the cabins. Suggestions for Stations: Wii; kids video (babysitting); Rook.
  • Suggestions for other activities: Water balloon launchers; Morning jogs, walks and/or hikes.

Book Club?

Anyone interested in having a book club at the family reunion?

Some suggestions from googling "good book club books":

-The Secret Life of Bees
-Kite Runner
-The Time Traveler's Wife (I heard some good things about this one)
-The Story of Edgar Sawtelle (this is what Oprah's book club is reading0
