Some things to think about...

•   Group whale watching event - who wants to go?

•  Group crabbing event - who might do it?  

•  Fly fishing with Dan - who will practice and who will fish?

•   Dinner out on Friday will be early.

•  Pot Luck dinner on Saturday - be ready to buy and/or make some something to share.  Talent show on Saturday will be fun to watch and we encourage everyone to join in if you are so inclined.

•  Bring one family recipe to share. (Something that tastes good would be great!) We will begin entering recipes into computer so everyone gets them all.

 

•   Family photo books/pictures of Alice, Gerald, Lola and Clara and will be on display in the Conference Room.  Thank you to Lynn, Pat, and Joyce for bringing these. The conference Room is set aside for our exclusive use for the week so they will be safe there.

Details I want to share now so I don’t forget!

Communication: You can coordinate rides with each other by going to the blog and through the email group (or whatever.)  

We will collect your cell phone numbers and room numbers and give each of you this information.

We will have a cork board in the Conference Room where changes and announcements can be shared. It is a place where people can post notes to let others know what they are doing and when/where. We imagine something like  “Fly fishing lessons at 1:00 PM today - meet in the lobby.”  “Bird watching at 6:00 AM - meet at the Conference Room.”  Winery trip leaving today at 2:00 PM - meet at the front door.”

Whale Watching:  The loading of the boat, the trip and the unloading will probably take 2 1/2 hours overall.  $18.00 each is

the fee regardless of the number of us want to do this.  TradeWinds is the outfit right on Depoe Bay near the Spouting Horn.  We need to call ahead to reserve space for our group.  We will ask you if you want to do this at the gathering on Thursday.

Crabbing:

We think 2:00 PM this is the right time of day for this - the best crabbing is at slack tide (between the end of flowing in and the start of ebbing out). You can either do it or watch others :o)  License is $11.50 and the nets and bait can be rented for $10.00 a day at Eleanor’s in Taft Harbor. (Look for a buxom mermaid). Bring along some frozen chicken wings for extra bait; the rumor is this is an especially tasty crab treat that lasts a long time.  

Fly Fishing:  Equipment for fly fishing lessons will be available

and you, of course, are welcome to bring your own rod and reel.  An out-of-state fishing license costs $16.50 for one day.  This can be purchased at Bi-Mart. If you are interested contact Dan at danwelsh@albany.twcbc.com.

These are some things you should bring with you to the reunion - or not.  

1.    What to wear? A rain jacket and umbrella (The weather at the Oregon coast in June is very predictable.  The temperature will be between 50 degrees and 80 degrees.  It will be either rainy, windy, stormy or pleasantly sunny.  Plan your wardrobe accordingly. Bring comfortable, casual clothing (think layers); shoes that can go into sand/mud and into the waves will be useful; a swimsuit would be appropriate if you want to swim in the resort pools, :o)

2.     A favorite family recipe to contribute to the Huntington Family Cookbook. Everyone will get a copy of everyone else’s recipes.  

3.    Think of something you would make for the Pot Luck on Saturday (this could be the same as the recipe but it doesn’t have to be.) (If making something for the Pot Luck doesn't sound fun you are welcome to purchase something to share.)

4.    Suggested Condo Partners and suggested contribution to the Pot Luck - you can switch with anyone.  (No fair switching food for people)

6.    Lynn is bringing the Auntie Alice photo book (for Judy H.)  Pat is bringing the Lola family photo book. Joyce is bringing the Gerald family photo book.  Judy W./Dani are bringing the Clara family photo book.  Thanks to all of you. Please also bring a 8X10 framed photo to display.

7.    If you plan to share a talent on Saturday night don’t forget to bring what you need.  It is not a contest - just a way to share our creativity and talents and only if you want to.  Small and large talents are welcome!  Be creative in what you call “one of your talents.”

I am traveling for work in the next two weeks.  If you have questions or comments you might be better served by contacting Connie at cjamdtheboys@gmai.com.  She will keep the team in the loop.

Looking forward to this fun! 

Judy and the Team
