DISREGARD THE PREVIOUS VENUE CHANGE NOTICE
For a few hours, we had an indoor venue for Saturday

With that, and the break in the rain, venue remains at ...
Mary Ellen & Tom's
3275 Aldrich Ln
Laurel, NY 11948
UPDATE as of AUG 1 ... 9 DAYS to GO!
We have 73 coming, including children. About a tenth of us will be providing entertainment! Michael has his AMP ready - Johnny his Karaoke.
WEATHER ...
It looks like it may be a mild-temp, rainy day - we will have the tents up and ready. Hopefully, there will only be light rain with some breaks in the clouds.
FOOD ...
We'll put lunch out between 2 and 2:30 - snacks and drinks will be out when you arrive. REMINDER - if you'd like drinks other than water and flavored seltzer, bring a cooler for beer, wine, juice, ice tea, lemonade, other sodas ...
PARKING ...
We have a long driveway, shared with our neighbors - our side is on the left. We'll attempt to direct parking on a diagonal to fit as many as we can in the driveway. Otherwise, parking on the East side of the street, facing North, will be an option. You can pull up on the grassy shoulder but let passengers out first to avoid the high grass and bushes.
PHOTOS ...

Some of what we've been busy doing:
-
Decided on where & when to gather.
Saturday, Aug 10 1:00 at Mary Ellen & Tom’s home.
3275 Aldrich Lane, Laurel, NY 11948
-
Created an invitation list. Started with listing the children of William and Elizabeth Reichert: Lillian, Edward, Mildred, Bill, Albert, Edna, Grace and Betty.
We’ve been reaching out to their kids (our cousins) & their kids.
So far, we’ve been using face book, email, and texting.
We may still need a mailing for some. The total on that list is 121.
Many not expected to attend, of course, but hoping to get notice to all.
-
Put a deposit on a tent that includes tables, chairs, setting up and taking down.
-
Hired servers to help with food set up, serving and clean up.
-
Developed this website for sharing info.
A buffet lunch will be prepared and delivered by a local deli. We’ll provide water and flavored seltzers.
Bring your cooler for other drinks you’d like. We’ll need your responses to go further with food order.
-
The money part –
It looks like we’re able to keep the cost to each person at $30 to cover above expenses.
Children 10 & under free. As well as those over 85 & 2/3. That means no freebie for Johnny!
-
Make checks to Tom Tomaszewski.
In the memo, please note that it’s for the reunion.
And please include a note with the names of those attending, as we’ll have name tags.
Address for checks: 3275 Aldrich Lane, Laurel, NY 11948
