Mark your calendars for August 4th, 2001 when we all converge on
Cincinnati Ohio for a picnic to end all picnics!
Summary:
The family reunion occurs all week from July 30th until August 5th.
Everyone is invited to participate in any or all of the events.
The big event is the August 4th picnic, which will be at Woodland Mound Park.
We have reserved the Fox Ridge shelter from 10 am until dark.
We will plan to eat at 12:30 or 1:00. For supper, we will probably send out for
KFC or some such thing. Everyone can pitch in to buy it.
Everyone is asked to bring:
Your own meat to grill.
A dish to share. For those traveling, they might want to pick up something from
a grocery store, deli, or bakery.
Canned / bottled drinks - bring extra, if you can, to make sure we have enough.
Each family of four or more is asked to bring a package of buns.
There will be a "collection basket" to cover the cost of paper goods, charcoal,
eating utensils, condiments, ice, etc.
Any games or sports equipment they might want to bring.
Park Passes
Park passes will be distributed in person to those who are here by Friday. If you are
traveling and want a park pass mailed to you next month, you must tell Mike Passerotti.

T-shirt Update
As far as T-shirts go, people must get their money in right away. Lori Passerotti is
making up the shirts for us. The cost will be the same. We will not be getting
a quantity discount because not enough people ordered them. But we will be getting
a better price because Lori works at the shirt place. So it evens out.
Conclusion
If the cost of a place to stay is holding you back, then please call Mike Passerotti.
We can arrange for a place for you since we will have a house and an apartment at the
time of the picnic.
