MARNELL - TOOHEY FAMILY REUNION...............TOOHEY - MARNELL FAMILY REUNION

June 19 - 20 - 21 - 22, 2003

Once again we've had a great response from all of you!  You have overwhelmingly requested the weekend of June 19, 20, 21 and 22.  We hope it works out for everyone.   

I expect it will be quite warm here in the Las Vegas area.  We have air conditioning in the house and a swimming pool out back so come prepared and dress comfortably.   

You know by now that we did not request money up-front this time.  We thought we'd try to do this one a little different - keeping it simple and keeping the cost down.  We will know on Saturday what we spent and will ask for money at that time.  If you need to send us a check after you get home, that's fine.  If it doesn't work out, then we'll go back to collecting up front at the next reunion.  

Some of you have responded that you won't be attending for various reasons.  But we thought you might still be interested in knowing what we're planning, and perhaps some of you might be able to make it at the last minute...and that would be great...just drop us a note if you can, and let us know.  If you wish to be removed from mail/email updates, please let us know.  

Fritz has created a "Bulletin Board" for everyone to post any messages, ask/answer questions (like "family" tree information!), etc. It's at http://www.b2g5.com/boards/board.cgi?user=Fritz. Please drop by there and look around... and post your own messages!

You can also email us directly, with any questions, suggestions or comments (other than asking for a new date..ha! ha!), at marnells@yahoogroups.com
