Lodging in Heber, AZ
These are the photos Dale Cronin provided for us (thanks!) so we could see the area we'll be having the reunion at. I think there are still some lodging details to come but we wanted to get these photos up so you'll have a general idea of the area!
Food for thought
I LOVE this idea and can't wait to see the finished product! I think adding personal experiences is also a wonderful way to preserve our family history!
Here is what Anna Cronin said:
One of the things we would like to do is put together a Cronin Family Cookbook and have it finished by the reunion.
We are asking ALL OF YOU to contribute by sending in your favorite recipes. If you have a thought to share about it, please include that...such as "this was one of mom's favorite" or "dad (or husband, kids, etc) loved this" In other words, add something personal to it. Funny stories that happened when that food was served would also be great. We want this to not just be about food, but about special or fun memories.
PLEASE send at least two recipes to Cassie Cronin Romney at cassiejae908@yahoo.com.
She has volunteered to put it together for us.
Don't put it off, send your great family recipe today!

We are looking for volunteers to help with various tasks. If there is something you are good at or enjoy doing, please leave a comment below and give us an idea of how we can best use your talents! More details to follow about specifics.
For example:

"I am the craft queen, I've got some great ideas."
"You need a fire started, I'm your man."
"I am a great historian, I would love to put a family journal together."

Money Money Money MON-NEY
Alright, this is everyone's favorite part, money! I put a condensed version of this on the side bar so it will be easy for all to see. Here is what was sent concerning the money involved in this reunion:

ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WE WILL BE HAVING ACTIVITIES IN SNOWFLAKE AND THOSE WHO WANT TO MAY WANT TO PURCHASE FOOD THERE. WE WILL HAVE FOOD PROVIDED FOR THOSE WHO DON'T WANT THAT OPTION.

We love to see the temple
Activity: Session in the Mesa Temple
Date: Tuesday July 20th 2010
Open to: Endowed family members
After spending the day playing with the kids, leave them with a sitter and spend time with the adults! Babysitters will be pre-arranged for the kiddos so you don't have to stress about that detail for once. Our goal is to attend the 4:00 Session and then head to dinner after. The temple is about 30 minutes away from where most of the family lives, so you'll need to leave by around 2:45-3:00 in the afternoon to get there and get changed in time for the session. We'd also like to have each person take in a family name, so be working on your genealogy!
