Greetings all!  Less than 2 months to go until the McDonald/Tremblay family reunion in Garretson, SD, and plans are coming along great!  Now we need something from everyone who is planning to attend.  In order to give accurate numbers to the caterer that Jen has lined up for our meals on Saturday it is important that EVERYONE who is planning to be there notify me ASAP.  I realize that everyone isn't on FB so don't see this blog and also know some have had trouble accessing it.  Given that, I need to ask everyone in the oldest generation of McDonald's/Tremblay's/Ripple's (you know who you are!) to take responsibility for notifying and/or signing up your family members who will be attending.

All you need to do is send an email to the following people:

jpaasch94@gmail.com
jeannemcdonald@msn.com

It's important to send it to both of us just in case one of us has computer problems.  Information that would be helpful:
1.  Name of person/persons attending
2.  Dates of attendance
3.  Whether or not you're party will be participating in the Sat. noon and evening catered meals (there will be a TBD charge per person - will let you know as soon as we have that info. but am sure it'll be very reasonable)
4.  Where you'll be staying while attending the reunion
5.  If interested in the pontoon ride and # of people in your party so we can give the Rekstad's a ballpark figure
5.  Anything else that would be useful in the planning of this event

If you are still needing a place to stay, one of Garretson's finest, Dan Hanson who was in Ron's class, has graciously offered his house for anyone in need.  He said he can sleep up to 6 people.  He may not be there that wknd but will leave a key for us.  His home is in Brandon close to I-90.  Please let me know ASAP if that is something you'd be interested in so I can notify Dan.

Thanks and see you all soon!
