Letter from Phyllis Young-DeBaecke

June 24, 2009
I am proud to announce I am now a great grandmother for the first time. My son's son and wife just brought a 4 lb. 15oz. little girl into the world and her name is Kayla Alison Young.
That makes it 4 girls in our family and 6 boys. I have one boy and one girl but they have both outdone me with children and I love them all.
I am looking forward to the reunion and will be getting into Denver on the 20th of July and on to Estes Park on the 23rd so hope to see you then.
Thanks for all the info you [and the EFA Chair] put out for us who haven't been together for several years and so glad we have this web site.

On Friday, July 24th, we are having the pot-luck picnic from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the large shelter at Stanley Park. Everyone is asked to bring a dish to share.
On Saturday, July 25th at 2 p.m. there will be a presentation by Dr. James H. Pickering on the founding of Estes Park, at the Estes Park Museum.
At 6 p.m. is the Buffet dinner at the museum. Pre-paid reservations are $13. A business meeting will follow the dinner.
Sunday, July 26th at 9:30 a.m. is the Buffet getaway brunch at the Mary's Lake Lodge. Pay at the door. Price is $10.95.
Note: Pre-registration closed on June 10th.

If you are not able to attend our family reunion this year, you will sorely be missed! And we all hope to see you at the next reunion...date TBA after this reunion.

Jack has informed the Chair that the pre-registration attendance is up this year from the last couple of reunions. That's great...we hope more of you will have the desire to attend the next one, too.

On the side - my family is thinking about going miniture golfing or bowling (or maybe a movie) Friday evening after the picnic...if you are interested, please let me know, we would love to have you join us.

Kathy
