We all have to eat & drink, otherwise there will be problems….
I am looking for a coordinator, one for each of the homes to help manage the food and keep up with supplies. The list of attendees is still not finalized but I am anticipating about 30 family members (and friends). I comprised a list of suggested food & items to bring to the reunion. Feel free to add other items to the list. If you bring any personal items from home that you would like returned, please put your name on it (somewhere). The reunion carries no insurance so please keep that in mind 🙂
I recommend that whatever item you choose to bring, that you bring enough for 20-30 people, or whatever amount that fits your budget. This is very important: whatever you are going to bring, please leave a comment as to the item you are bringing so that we all can see who is bringing what. We don’t want too much of one thing and none of another if we can avoid it. Since we are arriving on different days, please also mention when you will be arriving to the reunion so that we are not counting on your contribution before you are scheduled to arrive.
Ο need at least 4 coolers for ice and as back up to the freezer to keep food cold
Ο large pots & pans
Ο large pitchers
