Cash for your family's contribution to defray the costs of reunion (including food)
We will NOT be doing a white elephant auction this year!
This can be a touchy subject, so we'd rather be upfront about it. We don't have a rich uncle that funds our reunion, unfortunately. We don't want anyone NOT to come because of expenses! But to make things as fair as possible, we need to spread the expenses equitably. Here's the breakdown of expenses and funding:
Expenses for Reunion
Food, Drinks and Ice
Paper goods
Contribution to host for additional utilities (water/electric)
Funding for Reunion
Leftover supplies from previous year (ex: we have lots of cups, paper towels, napkins, toilet paper, etc. left over from last year)
Leftover funds from previous year
Minimal (and voluntary) cash contribution from each family
So how much should each family contribute? That's the thousand-dollar question! We won't really know that until all food is purchased (have you seen the prices of groceries lately? Yikes!), we see how many attend, etc,
There's no one-size-fits-all approach that works here. Fortunately, we have funds in our reunion account to cover anyone who may not be able to make a contribution. This should not stop anyone from attending!
Your politics! Leave that at home. We are a diverse group with various beliefs and values. All too often, political discussions end in anger, hurt feelings, and needless drama. Let's not go there. For just one weekend, please set that aside so we can enjoy hanging out with each other! (This goes for Boomers all the way down to Generation Beta!)
NO PETS! Please leave these at home for just a day!
Refrigerated items- if you can't store it in your own cooler, chances are that we won't be able to refrigerate it.
Paper goods- we have all that covered!
Card tables/folding chairs- unless you've been specifically asked to bring yours, we will have enough. Don't burden yourself with extra stuff to bring! (do bring lawn chairs though)
Excess vehicles- parking will be at a premium, so carpool if possible!
Fireworks- those are illegal at the lake
