Fees, Forms and T-shirts

Where in the world did February, March and April go?  I was commenting yesterday to Viviane that it felt like it was the beginning of March here in Southeastern Michigan.... maybe that is because of our cold and crummy weather... we are just this week having a solid week in the 50's... just yesterday I had to scrape a frosty snow layer off my car.  I want to cry... it is just not far to be so cold for so long!!!! I am over cabin fever and ready for our camping weekend!!   Maybe we will be fortunate that June will prove to be a beautiful balmy month and not quite the sauna from the past two years.  :)

So Topics of today-

1. FEES- The deadline for Reunion fees is May 1st.  Please keep this in mind.  I am open to Paypal or checks in the mail... whichever is easier.  I can tell you guys that Viviane and I cannot move forward right now until the fees are in.  We are dead in the water (because we have received a limited # of fees) so please get them in so we can make this a successful event!! If you have sent your fees, thank you!  If you haven't please, please send them today! 

2.  FORMS- Thank you to those of you that have sent me your forms either in the mail with your payment or electronically.  These forms help us immensely.... if you haven't signed up for a potluck item, let me know and I will give you a few ideas of what may still be needed.... pretty sure we still need hotdogs and hamburgers! (Hotdogs, hamburgers, smoked pork and buns are now covered though it would help with costs if another family or two would sign up for hamburgers.  If anyone wants to bring chicken, please remember to pre-cook it.  We could use another green salad - Yvonne is making shopska- and possibly a tray of hamburger/hotdog fixings like tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, and condiments.)

3.  T-SHIRTS- We will be ordering the shirts earlier this year, the past two years we have cut the deadline close.  My t-shirt guy has been wonderful to give us a great price because he adores my little ladybug (Thanks Nicky Minaj for changing the way that sounds in my head!!) Anyways, Tom is a wonderful guy and tells me every time he sees me that I did such a wonderful thing in adopting Elina... boy I have him fooled... I'm the lucky one to have such a spitfire.  So getting to the point, in the past 2 years I have allowed people to order t-shirts almost up until the week of the reunion... this equals a very frenzied Momma trying to pick up t-shirts the day before leaving and Tom with his gravel voice saying... "Yeeee---vonne, I pulled it off but you need to give me more time girl."  In an effort to preserve both my sanity and Tom's I am ordering the t-shirts the first week of May.  This means that I need the t-shirt sizes ASAP... send me your forms so I can organize this! 


***NOTE: If you are a family that is still waiting for travel dates and are putting off sending fees, please contact me ASAP so that we can work out  the t-shirt order.  I can always ship your t-shirts to you if you are unable to attend.  But I would really hate for anyone to not have the reunion shirt for our pictures! BTW, I will not be ordering extra t-shirts this year.  Last year I ordered extra and we still have a few left.  If you are interested in purchasing a 2012 t-shirt for $5, please e-mail Viviane for the sizes that are left! ***



Now, send fill our that form, open PayPal or pull out an envelope and stamp and help make the Reunion a success! :)
