Flowers Summer gathering 2009

Straight from Aunt Ruth:

Saturday, July 11, 2009 will be the Summer Family Gathering. It is on Sanford Lake, which is a wonderful swimming lake, fishing lake and it also has a Spray Park. Very Large. I have rented the Beachside Pavillion and we can get here at 8 am if we want to or I said around 11. It is a public beach so it cost $5.00 per car and $2.00 per boat. There is a boat launch on site. It is a great lake for skiing, or tubing. The cost is $50.00 and I will pay that, if there is money left from Christmas to help cover it, if not oh well. I will get directions for everyone, as soon as necessary. We could bring a dish to pass, and whatever you want to put on the grill. We need paper products, drinks etc. As it gets closer, we can all work on that, but this is a wonderful place and it is clean, and fun. The little kids will love it and the bigger kids can swim. It isn’t real deep, there is a roped off swimming area, but nice. It isn’t a state park, no camping. Just a day park. 

Please contact Aunt Ruth if necessary, I will answer questions.

Let me know. Thanks Greg.

Ruth

Flowers Christmas Party

merry christmas

Saturday, Dec 8 at Flushing Township Hall (same place as in the recent past)

Planning to start a little earlier this year – 2:00 pm – and eat about 3:30pm
Bring a wrapped gift for your kids – we think Santa may show up again. We will plan some games and activities for the kids too!
We will need to get the $$$ fund back up. The summer picnic cost was more than we collected. We got a couple of requests to do the live auction like we did in past years. Greg has volunteered to be auctioneer. Each family should bring 2-3 rummage sale type gifts – nice things or funny stuff – either wrapped or in a paper bag. Oh yea, identify on the outside of the wrap or bag if what’s inside is for a child, adult, male, female or any-any. We will do a 50-50 drawing also !
I had a lot of paper and plastic products left over from this summer that I can bring – so we should be OK for that stuff.
Bring beverages for your family and a dish to pass. Each adult couple or single adult (if you don’t have a significant other) should bring something for the potluck.
Last thing – I need some volunteers to help notify everyone, find out who’s coming or not and do the other jobs. So I’m asking for one person to be the point person for each family to help organize and recruit other helpers.
