Here Comes the Reunion
27/07/13 16:14
So the Spendley 2013 Reunion is only a month away. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and I hope everyone enjoys the weekend in Ocean City.
One of the objectives we want to accomplish is in a very positive way - honor the “Senior Generation” - My Dad and Mom, Aunt Janet, Aunt Rosemary, Uncle Bill and Aunt Janet. We have come up with some ways that each of them can participate in the Saturday Evening dinner. More importantly, we want to host the first annual “Real or Rumor” Spendley game. The game will involve trivia questions about the Spendley Family as well as stories that have been told over and over again - we just need to determine if these stories are real or just rumor!!!
The Reunion Committee has come up with several questions/stories but we need other family members to send in more questions and or stories that they want verified as Real or Rumor. For instance:
1) DId my brother Rob really ask my Mom and Dad if Grandpa was born bald? Or….
2) Which wedding did almost the entire wedding party dance the congo line thru another wedding and who was the person that lead that line? Or...
3) What was the name of the restaurant that Grandpa held every family function at?
I have shared the easy questions but we will need everyone to share either their best Spendley question or best Spendley story so we can share as much family folk lore as possible. The Committee has worked hard in trying to make the weekend and especially the Saturday evening dinner something special. We want to share laughs, we want to share our favorite stories and most of all we want to enjoy the time we are spending together. After all there is no telling when the next family reunion will be so lets make sure this one is a classic and one to be remembered for a long time. Please share your favorite story or question with me by hitting the contact me at the bottom of the page and sending me an email with the specific. Thanks and look forward to seeing everyone on the weekend of Aug 2 - 3, 2013.
In the meantime - maybe we could make some predictions about what might happen on Saturday night:
Will it involve Aunt Rosemary singing “Old Mill”!!!
Will it involve Uncle Bill taking the mic and telling a few famous family stories!!!
Will it involve Uncle Bob telling a story and crying before he is finished!!!
Will it involve Aunt Janet laughing at Aunt Rosemary singing Old Mill Pond, laughing at Uncle Bill’s stories and laughing at Uncle Bob crying!!!
If it is any of these items, it really is good news, because we have the opportunity to share this family reunion with each of them and as years go by those opportunities are not a sure thing. Let’s hope everyone has a wonderful time and there are plenty of memories, plenty of laughter and most of all plenty of stories told - after all what would be a Spendley party without a few Spendley stories!!!
