Larry, I like your idea. The Country Club sounds like an ideal venue with a combination of easy location, function rooms, and hopefully good food. But am I understanding this right? Are you offering to spring for the buffet yourself? That would be a huge expense that should probably be shared among participants. Getting the Country Club on a summer weekend might be a little tough as well, but we do have two years to plan.

This is exactly what this discussion forum is all about--to bash around ideas. The more, the merrier, so everyone, please add your 2 cents and we will come up with the best combination of plans.

Yes, it is my intention to provide the rooms and buffet. I have been in contact with the country club and it will be no problem. I will take care of all those arrangements as soon as a date and alternate date are agreed upon.

The country club holds fond memories for me. I caddied there while in junior high then played there later on. And one can never forget tobogganing and sledding the course. My best memory, though, is when Patty Horne and I won a twist contest at some kind of a function we were attending at the club! My mother still has one of the little trophies we won.

Larry, I love your idea!! You are so right---the 50th Reunion should be a memorable. The country club holds a lot of memories for me as well. I think this is the Number 1 idea! Your very generous offer plus two years to save money should make the trip affordable to everyone. Cheers to you!

Yes! The Country Club would be tops! Thanks, Larry, for setting us straight. What were we thinking! 50 years is an event! We definitely need to do it up right! Best to all, Diana

Larry, Great idea for having the 50th at the Country Club..Thanks for the offer of making the arrangements for the club. I myself think that the reunion should take place in 2013 and just hope and pray the one's that are here now will be able to attend. I wished I could remember the twist contest we won, but at this age I sometimes forget what I had for supper. Right now we (Ralph,Bob and Sue West and myself are in Carrabelle,Fl. We are taking a trip cross countrythat will take us to New Orleans,Tx,Santa Fe, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Ca, and on to Hawaii for a 1 wk cruise and 2 wks in Kauai. Then returning and doing northern Ca and home the nth route. Longest we have been away from our grandchildren, glad we are able to see them on skype. Modern tech, who would have thought. Well hope to see everyone in 2013. Again thanks
