A new member has been added to the Phillip family

ALL 17 cousins will be at the reunion.  Total number of relatives has reached 88.

In order to make this reunion be as much fun as possible and run smoothly…we need to ask for at least one hour from each of you to help us throughout the reunion.  Below is a list of what we need on which days and at what time.  Of course, if you want to help at other times also, we won’t mind!!  J  And…if you are unable to cover your slot…I’m sure someone will pitch in.

When you get your reunion booklet, your “helping out” slot will be listed.  If you wonder what to do during your time, check with Janice, Judy, or Sharon as listed in “yellow”. 

If any of you want a group picture taken, please let me know and we will schedule it in.  Pictures will be taken between 5 and 6 on Saturday at Newberry’s.  Below is a list of some of the pictures that are already scheduled

The booklet is nearly done ~ we are waiting for Sarah Gramm Behof to have her new baby ~ any day.

We are having a huge turnout ~ 80 relatives have responded “yes” and still some maybes that may be able to make the reunion.

Judy is putting a notice in the Rapid City Journal, the Scottsbluff Star Herald, and the Alliance Times Herald as well as the Methodist Church Bulletin.  Janice is printing an invitation for Bob to take to the Masonic Lodge.
