Continuing with the reunion, Sunday July 12 will be a birthday party for Margaret's 90th birthday. Even though her real birthday isn't until December 1st. But she figured that not as many would want to come to MN in December. And she really likes Shalom Hill Farm and we are having it there at her choice.
The party will be by invitation. All of you family members are invited, of course, and we really hope you stay for the party. It will be from 1:00-4:00 PM. We will be serving cake, coffee and punch.
Her grandchildren will be in charge of decorating the dining room where the party will be held.
More details to follow.

Here goes.....I'm thinking a blog is a great way for all of us to keep track of what is going on with the reunion in July and a way for all of us to respond and suggest things, etc. At least that's my thinking. I hope you all agree. This is a first for me so it may take some trial and error to get it all figured out. And it will take time so please be patient with me.
Some details:
1. Date--July 10-12
2. Time--24-7! Or whenever you want to drop in. But there will be some organized times, too.
3. Where--Shalom Hill Farm. A retreat center north of Windom, MN. www.shalomhillfarm.org
4. Accomodations---This is a 'motel' type place. There are rooms. I (Mary) will be accepting the payments for the rooms. I will be assigning the rooms, etc so the sooner you get an application in to me the better. I will be trying to make a pdf reservation form here soon. Wish me luck.
5. Food--We are going to try to have a potluck for Friday evening and Saturday noon. We will have a breakfast Saturday for a cost to be determined. The Tim Titus family will be in charge and doing the planning. The official reunion will be Saturday afternoon/evening from 1:00 PM and on with a barbecue at 5:00 PM at a cost of $5.00/person. Sunday morning we have decided to have the Retreat staff prepare brunch for us to be served at 10:30 AM. The cost for that will be about $6.50/person. (Cost for this is from 2008 and may increase this year).
6. Program--up for discussion. Maybe Mark will prepare some kind of a genealogy presentation. Bonfire at night. Making s'mores, etc. Both nights most likely.
7. Other activities--the facility has several small comfortable areas for visiting. There are board games. There is a pool table and foos ball table in the basement (storm cellar). There are a couple of short hiking trails. There is a swing set. We could probably bring horseshoes or some games like that to play. Some of you used to play volleyball. So that could happen maybe.
8. Drinks--you will all be invited to bring your own drinks although we will provide for coffee. And tea. Wine and beer is allowed in moderation of course. But can't imagine a Titus getting out of control with alcohol!
