Here is an outline of what our plans look like as of right now:<br /><br />Friday: Our Bush River Homecoming and Bush River Cemetery committees will <br />meet during the day at the DeWalt house for a review of ideas, plans, and <br />brainstorming. Plans for a future Homecoming, headed up by Barnett Warren <br />will be discussed. Those who are interested in getting involved in future <br />plans and helping with committe work are urgently needed and are encouraged <br />to join us during the day as you can. We will also have a SELF SERVICE <br />SIGN UP SHEET on the porch at DeWalt House. Everyone can come by, <br />"register", and provide their contact info, cell phone, research interests, <br />where staying etc.<br /><br />Friday: 5:30 -7 pm Judy and Ann do "Ask Granny"© demo for Newberry Gen <br />Society...AND anyone else interested (see www.askgranny.us for details). <br />"Ask Granny" is a set of materials given free to individuals or groups who <br />are interested in working with Senior Citizens or Reunion groups as they <br />capture family memories of names, dates, and places.<br /><br />Friday Evening 7:30: informal group[s] dining. We hope that everyone will <br />have signed in and checked out our various plans for dining...possibly just <br />pizza and sandwiches at DeWalt.<br /><br />Saturday morning: EVERYONE (townies and all who are in town for the <br />weekend) invited to continental breakfast and brainstorming session at <br />DeWalt, courtesy of the Homecoming Committee. . We hope to have <br />representatives of the Newberry Genealogical Society, the Newberry <br />Historic/Museum House Society and, possibly other local groups in attendance <br />so that we can see if there is a possibility of a joint meeting in the <br />future. Bring your thoughts and your calendars.<br /><br />Reunion Planning Booklets provided by "Reunions Magazine."<br /><br />Sam Ziady, Director of the Newberry Library will tell us about the new <br />facility<br /><br />Saturday afternoon:<br /><br />1. Cemetery recon and assessment with planning for future [either there or <br />back in town]<br />2. Guided tour to be announced<br />3. Library open until 4<br /><br />Saturday evening: free<br /><br />Sunday morning: if we can determine who will still be able to come, the <br />Palmetto Quakers have offered to lead a Sunday Meeting as they did last time <br />and to sponsor a brunch. We will have a simple brunch even if we can't get a <br />group together for a Meeting. Departure at noon.judyr/jruss95https://www.blogger.com/profile/01566662388086984115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912112986112404756.post-54001888824549489732008-11-15T13:26:00.000-08:002008-11-15T13:26:00.000-08:00Hi Judy,Nice idea!JaneHi Judy,<BR/><BR/>Nice idea!<BR/><BR/>Janehokiejanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14084765617125479173noreply@blogger.com
