Bring your own chair, [folding, etc] &/or Pallet. There will be tables & benches but may not be enough. If you cannot bring chairs, I'm sure we will be able to come up with some 2. There will be plenty of food. Hamburgers & hotdogs with all the trimmings & chips. We will also have cold drinks & hot coffee. The food will be free but donations will be excepted to defray the costs. NO ALCOHOL PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm asking that each of us bring a dessert, if it's convenient. It would be wonderful to have a nice dessert table. Food donations will be accepted at the park 3. If possible, bring hand- out copies of your genealogy information also pictures of ancestors, certificates of birth, death, marriage, anything you might have that is connected to your genealogical line. Stories, anything that comes to mind. Some of you have mentioned family books you would like to share. Some have their family tree printed out & in frames. It has been my experience that when you share with others you usually get a lot more back. So lets all be in a sharing mood. Bob & Diane Blankenbeckler have unselfishly offered to provide all the necessary paper products (plates, cups, plastic ware, coffee, etc.). REMEMBER ME, HELEN CAST If you have a question or need any kind of help, Please let me know. That's what I'm here for. I'm very eager to help in any way.
