Good afternoon!
I hope everyone is getting excited about the famous Graham Family reunion, because it is this coming this weekend. That’s right…this weekend!!!! This time we are doing things a little differently. I am sending this email a couple of days early to give everyone a heads up on how much it will cost per family (head of household), menu, and what to bring with you.
We will be using the Fireside Ballroom/Banquet Room. It is supposed to be a good room for what we need it for. If you didn’t come to Unicoi Lodge the last time we had it here, there are a lot of things to do around the lodge and also in the town of Helen Georgia.
The cost per family (head of household) for the banquet room and two meals is $45. This is a great deal per family when it comes to catering.
Activities
The next thing is of course the “Aunt Emma flea market”. We need everyone to bring their items that they want to give a new home too. Thank you, Will Graham, for helping put this together.
We will have an art activity for the kids to do. Thank you Kelly Dean and Rachael Graham.
Our pictures will be a little bit before dinner. We will let know the time to be prepared with your smiles. Looks like some rain will be the area so we will probably have the pictures inside. Thank you, Matthew Gilley!
After dinner, Saturday night, we will have the business meeting/devotion service. At our business meeting this year, please bring any and all ideas of where to have the Graham family reunion in the future. Our church service/devotional will be given by our very own Will Graham. Thank you Will!
I believe that we will be going to Hickory Knob in 2020, but we will know more about the place for next year this weekend. Thank you, Jackie Shultz.
Food
Last but not least, the menu for the weekend…yummy!!!! Friday night dinner will be on your own. You are welcome to eat out, or eat a picnic in the Fireside Banquet Room. Please email thegrahamfamilyreunion@gmail.com if you want a list of attendees so you can coordinate Friday dinner together!
Saturday lunch will be chicken tenders, mac-n-cheese, corn, garden salad, and watermelon. Saturday dinner will be Pulled BBQ pork, baked beans, green beans, coleslaw and applesauce. Thank you to Rachael Graham for helping me with this.
We are allowed to bring our own desserts and drinks (approval from Management). Also, with the amount of food that we are going to have we may have leftovers. So to not waste what we paid for, please bring Tupperware/containers to put leftovers in, to take back to your hotel room, to have as a late night snack or the next day.
I think that is everything and I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and see everyone this weekend!!!
Can’t wait,
Rosemary
