--------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Edward D Costello <Costello13@juno.com> Date: Tue, 1 May 2007 11:55:47 -0400 Subject: HAGGERTY FAMILY REUNION, 2007 ToWhomItMayInterest: The decendants of Peter Haggerty (1808-1881) of Co Donegal, Ireland & Nancy McGuire (1808-1886) of Co Fermanagh Ireland (maybe), & both of Fredericton NB Canada, Bangor ME USA & Houlton/Littleton/Ludlow ME USA are having a reunion as follows: HAGGERTY FAMILY REUNION, 2007 WHERE: Elks Club, in downtown Houlton ME USA, Name tags will be provided at the door. WHEN: Saturday June 30, 2007, From Early PM to Late PM. Come early & stay late. MENU: Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Salads & Soft Drinks, lots of chit-chat & family presentations by indivual family members. This is a requirement; I'll pass out assignments later. Maybe someone will want to offer a cookbook containing favorite Haggerty recipes. PRICE: For food, use of the premises & indoor lavatory/plumbing: $15.00 per person. Money arrangements: The total cost for all of us, excluding the "cash bar" & stayover accomodations, will be $600-$800 depending on how many people show up. I am committed to pay the Elks club the money in total up front on Saturday. CASH BAR: Beer & wine only, 6-10pm, maybe longer hours. ("Cash Bar"for those of you who dont know, it means if you want a beer or glass of wine, you get up on your feet, walk to the bar, place an order & the bar-tender will serve you his beer/wine product in exchange for additional cash, thus "Cash Bar"). ATTENDEES: An estimated 50-75 assorted man, woman & child Haggerty's and/or their derivatives/soul-mates/ lovers/in-laws/old pals/current sqeeze's/etc. What ever your point of geographical origin, be sure to bring a USA or Canadian PassPort, that is, if you expect to cross the USA/Canada border. Some of you may wish to seek out the many & unknown members of the Laverty, Fitzpatrick, Day, O'Donnell & Abernethy families in the Houlton-ME-USA/Woodstock-NB-Canada area. They're mainly family members of Louisa Laverty Haggerty who is grand mother/great grand mother to many of us. Or the Abernethy's with their Frank Haggerty line. Or the decendants of Peter Haggerty Jr, our ship captain relative. At this point in time, I've been able to contact a few of them. Please spread the word to whomever may be interested. T-SHIRTS: 100% good quality cotton, labeled HAGGERTY FAMILY REUNION, 2007 (front) & HOULTON MAINE (rear), in Kelly green lettering, sizes: "S" small - "5X" large will be available if ordered early. I have to give the vendor a fixed order; an order for 12 will price at $12.00 each, while an order for 25 shirts will cost $9.00 each. Send me your orders & I'll get 'em. Evelyn & I have already signed up. RESERVE: Sunday July 1 (the next day after Saturday) should be reserved for a Catholic Mass (no T-shirts) at Saint Mary's in Houlton, 8 am, in honor of all Haggerty members from the beginning til the end of time. Cousin Kathleen Corey Rahme graciously made the arrangements. HOW-TO-GET-THERE: Houlton ME, for you outlanders, is at the northern tip of north-south Interstate Hiway I#95, which starts in southern FL USA & ends in Houlton ME USA. So if you are driving, pick up I#95 someplace along the way & drive north to the very northern end, the very last exit. To go futher, you'll fall off of the earth. Otherwise you may fly into Boston MA, Manchester NH or Bangor ME. From Boston MA its a 300 mile drive to Houlton ME; Manchester NH is about the same; from Bangor ME to Houlton ME it's 100 miles, so at some point enroute you'll have to rent a "jack-ass" of some sort to get you all the way to Houlton. STAY-OVERS: Dont go near the SCOTTISH INN, it has a good/bad reputation. Its problem is caused by the usual things: wine, women, song, assaults, & lust; it has nothing to do with the good God fearing Scots. Otherwise, there's the STARDUST MOTEL, THE SHIRETOWN MOTOR INN, IVEY'S (all recommended by the Elks Club management). I suppose that there are some good B&B's about, or a relative with an vacant barn w/straw bed & cow or an extra warm bed in the house. <Houlton.Net> should have some B&B's listed. You'll have to make with a "relative" bed on your own. Make your reservations ASAP, the "Future Farmers of America" are having a convention that week in Houlton, as well. Come early & stay through the week. Enjoy what the region has to offer. There's the 4th of July parade, relatives to visit in the Woodstock Canada area, one of the original Peter Haggerty & Nancy McGuire homesteads (the Littleton Ridge Rd farmhouse is still in the family, visits arranged by Cousin Madolyn Haggerty Boutilier) & there's the monument to the Battle of Houlton (you'll have to do a <Google> or <Wikipedia> search to discover the cause, participants & winner, I dont happen to know). Other "tree" members associated with Peter & Nancy's kids are: Frank Haggerty & Catherine Abernethy, Sophia Haggerty & Jeremiah Spencer, Nancy Haggerty & Thomas Lynch, Peter Haggerty Jr & Jane Haskell, Margaret Haggerty & John Kiley, John Haggerty & Margaret Grey, Thomas Haggerty & Elizabeth Curtis and Charles Haggerty & Louisa Laverty.
