I have condensed all the blog posts/comments into a page of schedules and notes. I will post that for everyone's review as soon as I get a few more things filled in. For now, the volunteers I am looking for are:1) Meals. We need dinner volunteers for Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. You will either be in charge of your night or be assisting. (Carma is planning to prepare Sunday dinner but I'm sure she would like helpers.) If you don't care which night you are in charge/helping, please say so and I'll make your assignment. Each family/cabin will be responsible for their own breakfasts and lunches. Thanks to Greg for taking responsibility of the root beer.
2) Family Prayer. We'll have family prayer and a brief devotional with everyone each day. Please give me your opinions on having this in the morning or in the early evening. I need 5 volunteers to share a brief thought/scripture/testimony and then Opa will call on someone for prayer.
3) Book Group Discussion Leader - We'll have this discussion Sunday evening (Team of Rivals). We could also have a volunteer to lead the youngest children in a discussion of "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish." The possibilites are endless.
4) Morning Walks - Good idea/bad idea?
Other notes:
T-Shirts -- let Kristen know your order!
Variety show entries -- it would be great if everyone participated in some way.
Book swap - Did people like this idea? Or is it just another thing to pack?
Decorate Cabins - The campground has a Site-Decorating contest for the 4th of July weekend. Could be fun.
Memorize Gettysburg Address -- I will have a prize for each person who can recite this during the reunioin!
We can do whatever meal you want us to.
ReplyDeleteRichard can be in charge of the book discussion.
Morning walks: good idea! Maybe we could also do a 5k or something?
Thanks for organizing!
Hey Jenny (AKA Aunt Sam) Thanks for your organization.
ReplyDelete1) I will do an evening meal of your choice
2) Great idea. I will do one if needed
3) Good. I better get reading!
4) Morning walks, great idea!
Book swap: We have a LOT of books to share, but I don't know quite the best way to do this.
Decorating: I have an Uncle Sam costume that we could use for decorating - maybe like a scarecrow sitting out in front, kind of thing.
Good idea about memorizing the GA
1) Meals- I am very in support of having meals.
ReplyDelete2) Family prayer: yes
3) Book discussion: I second Richie's nomination, as long as he's read the book. :)
4) Morning walks?...wait, is this a Bylund reunion or a Thurman reunion? I want to stay up late and play games. I volunteer for that.
5) Book swap: I'll pass. Books are so analog and 20th century.
