Transportation from _________________ to the Sheraton Hotel & Towers

We found a price list and different modes of travel from the train station and airports, but we're having trouble cutting & pasting it to the blog. Please look for the list in your email.

POSTING ON THE BLOG

Hey everyone.  There seems to be some confusion on how to work the blog.  I noticed that there are a large amount of comments under individual posts.  That's fine to comment on someones post, but please don't put info that should be its own post as a comment under someone elses post.  COMMENTING under a post is just to put your opinion about that post.  If you have reunion info that everyone needs to see PLEASE MAKE A NEW POST!!!!!!  That way we'll see the important info and can view fewer comments under the posts.  Again, if you're having ANY trouble at all reach out to me via phone, email or text.  Thanks everyone.  For the most part the blog is working out well, but there was just a little confusion.  I hope this helps.  Love ya!  MUUUUUUAAAAHHHHH!  :)

Hey Johnson Family Reunion Crew,

This is Aunt Flo from Sunny California. I'm here at my desk this morning wondering how ya' was doin' so I said, "Self, why don't you send an email out to see how your chilins' are doing?" So here I am, Self, sending you an email saying "How Ya' Doin'? :) I haven't been checking the Blog lately because I've been rather busy. I'll try and do better by keeping up. I just love Blogging. How about ya'? Take care and have a nice weekend.

Love Ya',

Self/Flo/Aunt Flo (CA)

New Post

Whenever you have a new post, go to new post and give it a title. It might trigger faster responses. For example, if there are deadlines involved, list the Deadline in the title line and then proceed.

Help...

Marcus, could you please erase the heading Johnson Family Reunion 2010 as this is misleading and could be the cause of increased Senior Moments. Thanks!!!

Johnson Family Reunion 2010

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. ;)

Hi everybody, I am venturing into new areas as I attempt to blog with you all for reunion information.  I hope it goes well.  Since this is my first blog ever I will keep it short.  If you are already connected, hit me back and we will chat.  Take care.
