New Year, New Picnic

Well, last year's picnic wound up getting called on account of rain. This year we've made a new plan that should make our day warmer, sunnier, and less likely to rain. Got an email a while back from an old friend, Pete Bitar. Seems he and his lovely family will be here in August, so we've pushed back the usual date, and are now planning our big day for Saturday, August 4th. So, the 2012 picnic will be on that day....at 11AM. We will be holding it, once again, at Mt. Scott Park. Details to follow, so stay tuned!

FINAL DATE SELECTED!

We are going with Saturday, July 16th, 2011 for this years picnic. I am looking forward to seeing as many of you as can make it.

We will be having a potluck again. This year I am asking that you bring a main dish and a side dish or dessert. Please bring your own drinks and tableware. We set up in the west side of the park (Mt. Scott Park), so look for us there.

If you have any further questions you can email me at kingschild4life@msn.com.

Thanks all,

Karin

P.S. - And don't forget to send in those pictures!

Save the Date: The 2011 Reunion Picnic

Dear Gang:

Once again it is time to start planning for the 2011 Montavilla Baptist Church College/Career Reunion Picnic. The last couple of years have been great, and though we've missed some faces, it was nice to see those who could make it.

I am still trying to pick a date for the picnic, and would love some suggestions this year. So, let me know what Saturday you might be available in either June or July for a Picnic here in Portland.

I look forward to hearing from many of you!

2010 MBC College/Career Reunion Come and Gone

This year our picnic was a bit smaller, but we still got to see some faces we hadn't seen in forever! Check out the pics!

The weather couldn't have been nicer, although the park stayed fairly cool because of all the shade trees!

It seemed as though a lot of people were unable to come this year, but we're gonna keep doing it. I am open to suggestions as to date. So far the last week in June is what we've done, but if anyone has another suggestion...I'd love some feedback.

Anyway...missed those of you who couldn't make it, but maybe we'll see you next year!


Best Wishes,

Karin

Let's Do It Again in 2010!

Last year we had a great reunion, and this year we think we can do better! It was so much fun to get to see people, but it just felt so quick. So this time we're gonna kick things off at 11 AM and go until there's no one left! This year we'll potluck it, but if you have someone in your household with special food needs you might want to take care of that yourself. Bring your own drinks (please no alcohol), and if everyone could bring a main dish, and either a salad or dessert to share.

We are opening this up to everyone who was in the group from 1990 - 2000, and your families. If you know of someone who isn't on the guest list, it's because they're not on my friends list. Please feel free to ask anyone to 'friend' me or just invite them yourselves, who was part of the group during that time.''

The rest of the info is as follows:

Saturday, June 26th 2010
11 AM - Whenever
Mt. Scott Park
SE 72nd Ave & Harold St (West side of the park)
Portland, OR

There are lots of shade trees, a great play structure for the kids, and if the weather is nice they will probably have the kiddy pool open. Also, Mt. Scott Community Center is on the property so there are some nice bathrooms available for public use in the center.

Look for the sign and balloons!

A Great Day! We'll Do It Again Next Year!

Well, we had a great picnic. Don't know exactly how many of us there were, but it was great fun! I was hoping to put together a directory for everyone and email it to people, but I forgot...so we'll try for that next year!

We missed those of you who couldn't make it, and hope you'll be able to make it for next year! We'll tentatively plan for June 26th, 2010. Can't wait!!!

Reconnecting With The 'Ol Gang'

Dear All:

I am starting this blog to give you all a place to reconnect with one another. So many of the connection sites you have to join, but here, it is still possible to not join, but still join in. So....here are a few of the details:

* Save Saturday, June 27th, 2009 so you can make it to the 1990-2000 Montavilla Singles Group Alumni Picnic. More details to follow, but right now the important thing is to find as many of us as we can, and make sure everyone is invited.

* Also, I would like to put together a new phone/address list so people can also reconnect on their own. If you would like to participate you can email me at kingschild4life@msn.com and please provide the following info:
Name:
Kid's Names:
Address:
Home Phone:
Email:
Birthday's:
Anniversary:

I will be charging $3 per phonelist to cover the cost of printing and mailing out the phonelists. Hope this isn't too much for anyone, but if it is...let me know and we'll see what we can work out.

Thanks everyone for your interest and check out the rest of the site. I'll be adding new stuff as I can.
