REUNION

IDEAS AND QUESTIONS

Please read the ideas and questions below purely as the beginning of us all freely sharing what we would love to do and experience at our 20th Reunion!

Of course, by me listing some ideas is by no means me trying to push the venue to be here....I just thought that while we are waiting for a majority vote...we can at least think about what we would like to have at our 20th reunion. :0)

These were some ideas and questions I have thought of so far...we can go as large or as small as we want:

1. Meet and Greet Night cookout/bonfire followed by a hayride.
2. An idea for our banquet / dinner is we could have it outside under pretty tents in the evening when all the fireflies come out and light up the night. We could easily set up a sound system and we have a projector and screen we could use for any multimedia we prepare.
3. Jonathan Adam's is a pastor right? If we are here on a Sunday, I thought we could have our own service here on the ranch if we wanted, with those of us who want to sing and play instruments do the music and have Jonathan or anyone for that matter speak...or we could have a time of open mike with us sharing what the Lord has done in our lives these past 20 years.
4. We have a stocked pond full of fish so we could even have a catch and release contest.
5. For the children we could even rent those bouncy blow-up things for them to play on and of course 40 acres for them to run amuck on (and I know some of my classmates real well that they too will enjoy just running amuck. ) LOL!
6. We constantly have a breeze on our property so even kite flying would be fun, we don't currently have any horses but I know many who do and we might be able to swing some horseback riding on the ranch.
7. An alumni talent show? Our children talent show?
8. We even have a large barn...do the older kids want to have a "Barn Social"?
9. If it does rain us out...my church is only 4 miles away and we could always change the venue to there.
10. Do we want to do a ladies lunch thing and the guys have their own lunch thing?
11. Food ideas could be a big cookout/BBQ and bonfire, a BIG Southern Breakfast one morning, a Filipino meal and than our banquet meal of some kind. Note: there are several of our mom's and Filipino missionaries that I know who live withing 9 hours of us, who might be able to be talked into coming and preparing the Filipino food...it would taste good and be much cheaper than getting catered. (Not sure how many Philippine restaurants there are in KY!)
12. And of course there are all the fun tourist things to do in the area as well- Mammoth Caves, Louisville Slugger bat factory and museum, The Ali Museum Mohammad Ali, The Horse Experience at the Derby (an encounter with race horses and museum ) River boat ride on the Ohio River, Six Flags Amusement Park, Etc.
13. Do we want to demonstrate to our children what a Chinese Fire Drill looks like? Do you remember we did this at our 10 year reunion in Dallas and Shellie Brough Zagone was 8 months pregnant. LOL!
14. What are some things you would like to see happen either on the ranch venue or elsewhere?
15. How many days do we want the reunion to be? Thurs evening-Sunday? What month in 2007?

Once we get an idea of what we would like to do and see happen at the reunion then we can divide up the work among those of us who love to help with things like this and conquer the different tasks...both big and small.
I can't wait to see what you all come up with!
