Reunion 2012

Saturday, August 4, 2012
8:00 am to 8:00 pm.


Dear Family,

I am pleased to announce that the planning for this year’s family picnic is on schedule. This year, like last year, we were able to obtain the pavilion at Indian Wells, and members of the planning committee have begun to accept food and activity suggestions.

Information on Indian Wells State Park can be found here. Note there is a nominal fee for parking.

This year our cousin Dawn Williams has again agreed to be the activities and donations coordinator and can be reached at the email address you received either by U.S. mail or my email. Anyone interested in providing games and/or assisting with the smaller children, your help would be welcome. Each year we want to do something to interest the younger folks, so they can have a good time also. (Balloon pop, three legged race, etc.)Any ideas are welcome.

Anyone interested in preparing side dishes or supplying needed items, (ie., ice, drinks, condiments, charcoal, serving trays) please coordinate with Cousin Dawn as she will maintain a listing for our gathering. (A list of the items we are seeking can be found below).

Cousin Diane Peterson is our banking chairperson, and will receive all monies sent in by family. The "suggested" fair-share for 2012 registration is $30.00 per family unit because this year we will again provide hamburgers and beef hot dogs for all who attend. Many of the items needed last year were supplied by the reunion planning members out of pocket. With everyone helping who can, we will be able assist all family to enjoy this event to the fullest. Diane’s mailing address is:
Diane Peterson
76 Dogwood Drive
Bridgeport CT. 06606



What we need from you!

1. Please contact Dawn, Diane, or me with a head count of who we can expect to attend this year. Please respond by July 18th so we can purchase food items in the correct amounts.

2. Coordinate with Dawn on activities, suggestions, and needed supplies.

3. Get the word out to your folks, cross check that everyone “you know” has the word!

4. Drop your check in the mail to cover costs, as soon as you can! We need your help and know you will be blessed with another great Robinson Reunion.

God Bless family, I look forward to seeing everyone at Indian Wells, August 4th.

 Much Love,
Mitch Powell



Your 2012 Committee: Dawn Williams, Diane Peterson, Mitch Powell
