LOGISTICS:Communications, photos, meal teams

COMMUNICATIONS: Doris and Karla talked about needing a communicator and runners between the house and barn. Karla said she would be willing to head that up with the aid of some nieces and nephews and cousins as runners. We could use cell phones or walkie talkies to communicate as well. Janie has a set of walkie talkies she could bring. Anyone else? Any discussion?

REUNION PHOTOS: Janie will take tons of photos as usual. Maybe Nari and I can plan for the family and big group portraits together. With all the other people carrying good digital cameras around now, I'm sure we'll have plenty of photos. It might be nice to put some into a PowerPoint and show them during the music in the barn Saturday night. Does anyone have a digital projector? Janie can bring her laptop and there will undoubtedly be a few other laptops floating around.

Kids photos are always fun. Maybe we can give a few of them shooting assignments. Janie is willing to coordinate this as well as getting information to everyone about ways to share our photos during/after the reunion. Anyone want to help with this?

COOKING AND CLEAN-UP AFTER MEALS: Doris has a list of teams from last reunion for cooking and clean-up. Should we use the same lists and let new people sign up to help where needed?

Barn Clean Up

Just an FYI for those of you who just HAPPEN to live in Iowa. I will be back from Minneapolis on the weekend of the June 12th - 15th to help with the barn clean-up. Is there anyone else available on that weekend?

LeeAnn's test blog

This is a 'blog test' by LeeAnn. If it takes, I volunteer to help spearhead the 'clean up' effort on the farm prior to the reunion (as long as I can take vacation days in advance). I am new to this blogging stuff, so will be hunting and pecking to see if anything works. Sorry in advance if I do something wrong. Until the next attempt.......LeeAnn
