Sherry Fodor is coordinating this event in conjunction with golf course owner, our own alumni, Laura Van Dyke. Golf consultation will be provided by Jeremy Okolisan, which is pretty much his job during the summer months!

The club house has a restaurant and bar so lunch would be available at your own cost.

Sunday, Prieksaitis Potluck

Extending the reunion fun, you are invited to a FREE potluck family BBQ at George Prieksaitis' family farm in Rodney (Furnival Road).

Sunday, August 23, 2009 from 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM.

Hotdogs, hamburgers, drinks (coffee/lemonade) will be provided. Bring anything else you would like to BBQ, or any side dish, dessert or treat to share. There will be some tables and chairs but bring your own lawn chairs if you'd like.

Of course this is also an opportunity for us all to meet your kids (if you have them) so be sure to bring them along. Karen Timmermans (Yeah Karen!) has offered to coordinate some kids activities so when you RSVP to this event, please include the number and ages of any children attending.

Also, if there is someone local that would transport another BBQ to the house for us to use, please let me know.

RSVP's on Facebook are preferred so that we know how many people to prepare for and if you could also include a suggestion of what you might bring that would help as well. Drop-in's are also welcome.

And yes .. George's parents know that we are all coming and they are actually looking forward to seeing the old crowd!
