I got this letter from Aunt Marsha Tuesday, concerning the reunion.
Dear family,
Approximately 90 family members braved the cooler weather and attended the annual Christensen reunion. In spite of the weather, we all had a good time. We appreciate those who were able to attend and missed those who weren't there.
After a great lunch, "Dozi" the Clown entertained the family and pictures were taken. Few, if any, went swimming this year. Angie provided a wonderful start to a ancestor's booklet and Marsha gave out the annual directories.
Next year's reunion was planned with the following things.
DATE: June 18-19...Friday, the 18th is for Grandpa and the original brothers and sisters and spouses. The Friday night activity will begin at 6:30 at either Janet 's home or Marsha's yard. PAULA is in charge of games for Friday evening. Janet is in charge of the dinner. The annual planning meeting will be done that evening instead of on Saturday.
SATURDAY ACTIVITIES...will again be at Pillsbury Park. For 2004 we will grill our meat at the park and everyone will bring their own meat...a salad and dessert. We can swim, play games, and visit.
FAMILY ASSIGNMENTS ARE:
SHARON...games for Saturday
JANET...Friday night dinner
MARSHA...reminder flyers and the directory and a grill for Saturday
BOB...finding an enclosed jumping apparatus for the kids...(Desi and CharReese will call with information)
STEVEN...Scrapbook and reunion pictures
PAULA...GAMES for Friday night and fixing for hamburgers such as mustard, ketchup, pickles, etc.
ALLAN...reserving the facilities...water to drink and is IN CHARGE OF THE WEATHER...we are requesting a nice day!
VICKIE...paper products and a grill for Saturday
STEVEN AND LLOYD are the designated grill chefs for Saturday...any other volunteers will be appreciated.
CHANGES TO THE DIRECTORY...
Courtney Fielding's email address is cfielding23@hotmail.com...Kelly Fielding's email address is ksf76@hotmail.com. I think some of the other email addresses need to deleted or updated because I was unable to transmit them. Please let me know if there is a change...THANKS! (marshadye@hotmail.com)
WE HOPE ALL CAN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS NOW TO ATTEND NEXT YEARS' REUNION.
Love, Aunt Marsha
