Brainstorm

Here are a few things we as a family need to brainstorm on:

1. So in the last post Rachel brought up the idea of a family tree. Whether we make an up-to-date contact book with birthdays, current contact info, and maybe pictures, or do a different format I don't know. But as Rachel said, the family is getting bigger [theres almost 100 of us] and it would be nice to have an up-to-date list. I agree and I know Grandma would also appreciate this!

2. Quite a few years ago we had a family reunion at a winter resort place. I was just curious as to whether anyone would be intested in having another reunion in the coming years? This would obviously require a lot of work and preparation. So I'm just throwing the idea out there to see if anyone besides me thinks this could work! I know we have the cottage every year... but I'm thinking about something bigger that involves EVERYONE!

Add your comments, thoughts, and suggestions in the comment box below! It would be appreciated!

Finally, I think its important to get a current list of everyones e-mail addresses! I would be up for starting to compile everyones in the coming weeks! I'll add more information on that in the within the next week or so!

Thanks Everyone!

Wow, this all sounds great Julia!
I think you have my e-mail but just in case it is lisafredi@yahoo.com. Thanks for all your hard work :)

A reunion would require us to rent and entire resort...now that everyone is married and has kids. I think some sort of database with info would be great. Gathering the info would be a huge undertaking itself. But I like the idea of having something online for everyone to have access...well, maybe not all my info, but at least names of my cousins' spouses and kids.
