Thanks to everyone who responded to the questions that I posed. In the future will send one or two questions at a time with a suspense date. After that date, I will go with the majority response.
1. Should we have a registration fee?
Tee: Why would we need a registration fee? Have Van and Cassandra come up with anything for dinner as a group? How about church on Sunday? From the articles that I've read on Taste of Chicago, it seems that this event is overpriced and not as good as it used to be.
Felita: No, each family should take care of their own expenses.
Kenney: no
2. Suggestions for reunion colors:
Tee: Orange and fuchsia, green and hot pink, black with any eye-popping color, chocolate brown and pink, or chocolate brown and aqua. (These are suggested color schemes for Summer 2011.)
Felita: lime green and yellow
Kenney: royal blue and lime green
3. Theme:
Tee: The chain may be shorter but it is still strong.
Felita: Breezing into the windy city.
4. The traveling quilt:
Tee: At Steph's.
Felita: At one point we said that we'd add a square to the quilt to show what has changed for each family since the previous reunion. What ever happened to that idea? Maybe we can do squares but we may need a way to keep track of them. I do not think that we can add a square to an already completed quilt. n Cassandra, what can you tell us?
5. Skits
Tee: No skits. This is just going to be a time to be with each other doing what we want, with whom we want, when we want with the exception of a group dinner and church for those who want to attend. Let's not over plan it.
Felita: I would like skits. Maybe we can do a couple each time each night that we come together for dinner.
Kenney: yes
Please add comments to each question. I will post final choices NLT August 15, 2010. All postings on August 15, 2010 will be final. Please be sure to add your input.
Flo accepted her assignments as invitation and t-shirt designer. As a matter of fact, she already has a rough sketch based on a suggestion from DJ. :) She said that V-neck tshirt won the vote. I asked her to see if we can get different style t-shirts since several different people requested one or more of all three styles.
The only ones that I did not hear from were Van and Cassandra - local activities/events.
I read the checklist and it seems that our t-shirt can serve as a souvenir. Steph - Do you want to make any other souvenir?
This is all for now. I will try to figure how to blog and will post you later. ;)

I don't understand why we would need a registration fee. For what? I thought we were all taking care of our own expenses. Let me know so I can support either way. Eric and I started our Smarty Pig savings accounts just for the reunion. We are going to be ready.
ReplyDeleteI will go along with any color, but light blue! (smile) Sorry Marc-
Theme idea: "The Johnson's have blown into the windy city!"
I will have additional mementos for the reunion other than our shirts.
The quilt I had Cassandra make for the reunion at my house is the "traveling" quilt. Before I bring it to the reunion I will add something to it to mark a big event in my life. Then we will select who takes it for the next time. Adding squares would not be possible but for example if Nicole had it this year she could sew (or have sewn) a pair of baby booties on it to mark Marquez's birth. The person who gets it next will be able to hang it in their home until they pass it on at the 2013 reuion.
I'm good either way with the skits. I think the setting will dictate if we can do skits or not.
I dont think we need a registration fee as each group/family will have their own expenses tailored to what they plan to do while in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteSuggestion for reunion colors: navy and red (wink wink Aunt Steph lol)
Theme idea: Chi-Town. Felt so nice we did it twice!
Skits: I think if the majority is good with doing them, Saturday would be the best time.
ATTN: PLEASE MAKE SURE ANY FURTHER BLOGS ARE POSTED UNDER THE "BLOG FOR THE REUNION" POSTING. THANKS :)
