2010 Taylor Family Reunion

Janet's family is making final preparations for the upcoming Taylor Family Reunion. We hope to see many of your smiling faces there. It will be on July 16-17, 2010 at the Alta Mont Campground, up American Fork Canyon in Utah. Directions are at the bottom of this post.

We understand that many of you have prior obligations, and with so many wedding some are just not going to make it. Still, we are hoping for a highly successful weekend. The campground has been reserved for almost a year now. Janet, Richard and Kim went up last week to see the site. It's a beautiful setting, with many already prepared tent camping areas provided. There is a large parking lot, where you can park a trailer. The center pavilion and fire pit will be the site for many-a-memories.

In order for us to know how much food by buy, we would love to hear from you. Can you come? Maybe? Sorry, not this time? Please let Janet know as soon as you can. You can email her at jmomstaxi@yahoo.com.

We have mailed out hard copy invitations, so look for them next week. If you already told us you could not make it, we may not have mailed you an invitation. If you would like one anyway, please contact Kim (coateskj@yahoo.com), and she'll send one out.

I've also attached a copy of the invitation here, for everyone to see. As it says on the flyer, we are asking that families coming for the day pay $25, and families who will be camping pay $35. That's not bad for all day entertainment for your family, including two meals.

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you all soon!

Reunion Survey

Each of you should have received an email from me for the Reunion Survey. As we are finalizing some of the details, we need your input. If you didn't receive an email, please click here for the survey. Spread this around to all that are related to us. I would like everyone to give answers by the 20th of June and I will reply to all and post the agenda here.

Thanks for your help and I'm sure I'll be calling on you to give further help. I'm looking forward to visiting with all of you. Please mark your calendars for July 26, 2008 for the first (with more to come) reunion this century.

There will be a follow-up survey to decide things like how long to wait before another reunion, who gets to be in charge, where, when, what kind of activity, etc, etc, etc (But DON'T worry about this until later.)

Have a fantastic week and get your survey in. PLEASE answer the survey only once for your immediate household.

Reunion Agenda

My goal is to have the reunion agenda and information sent by the end of the week. I know you're waiting anxiously. We are going to have a rip roaring time, so.... be prepared.
