5/7/2014

Well, the 47th annual Grand Family Reunion is now over.  We hope everyone had a great time.


First, we'd like to let Floyd, Melinda, and Amanda know how very much we all missed them this year.  Floyd, our prayers are with you.

Next, we'd like to thank a few people who made our work a little easier:
  • Byron & Randy - for all of your help setting up and tearing down.  You made a hard job a lot more fun.
  • Kevin & Chris - for cooking and serving a delicious breakfast, and for the use of your stove.
  • Nicole & Linda - for making all of the goodies for the cake walk, and Nicole for running the cake walk.
  • Randy, Henry, Glendine & Linda - for running the auction so efficiently.
  • Leland & Robert - for your expertise in managing the horseshoe tournament. (Randy & Denise were the big winners)
  • Larry & Denise -  for organizing the whole reunion and for donating the fun photo frames and props.
  • Kathy (Denise's mom) - for donating all the tables and auction supplies
  I hope we didn't leave anyone out.  Thank you to everyone who helped and participated.
 
THANK YOU
We couldn't have done it without you.


The actual reunion is over but the work isn't quite done yet.  The McKinney's, after sleeping for several days, are working on totaling up the receipts so we can get the totals posted on the State of the Reunion page - Be watching for that page to be updated.

Also, we've added some reunion photos, so be sure to check out that page too.  I hate to beg but, please, please, please send us your photos too.  Don't forget to send in your vintage photos as well.
