April
4rd 2011 Just wanted to update everyone on the Reunion.
What
facilities might be available for our group for the big family dinner and it was
an obvious choice so will proceed trying to put together a buffet menu as
reasonably as possible and still have it be special. The building is in
downtown Gatlinburg and stands alone and is charming and is reserved for groups
like ours. We have the building all to ourselves and one big room so we
can easily have a program. If anyone has anything special they would like
to say or do, please let us know.
We
also would like to have a "Talent Show" there. So if you can
sing, play music, poetry, have a special handcraft you would like to display or
awards, we would also like to know that. There is NOT any piano there but
there is a sound system with DVD access.
We
plan on having the dinner on MONDAY
evening at 5:00 p.m. so everyone can get settled in at their houses on Sunday.
Cost not determined yet
but around $25.00 per person.
Eugene
and I and our family would like to have everyone come to our house, "Smokies
Overlook" for dessert and coffee on Sunday
evening so the "party can get started!"
Also, Faith
and
The
drive up the mountain is very steep and windy but the views are beautiful and
the drive is worth it.
Gatlinburg
is right at the foot of our development with lots of shopping and restaurants. Pigeon
Forge and Dollywood are only
