Greetings to everyone: Hopefully you have received an e-mail from Frank Healey concerning a possible reunion this coming September ... attached below is my reply to him with some suggestions ... I'm posting it so that everyone has a chance to jump in and offer suggestions ...
"Not one of us, alone, is as smart as all of us together."
Hi Frank: Greetings from the bush in NW Ontario. I will tentatively reserve the weekend of Sept. 26/27 ...
I've made some suggestions below ... and will post this on our blog, if you haven't already done so ...
Are you willing to assist in organizing? (Maybe I should have put this one first)
YES, ... BUT MY CONTRIBUTION WOULD HAVE TO BE LIMITED TO WHATEVER I CAN DO VIA E-MAIL, OUR FRATERNITY BLOG, MY WEBSITE, ... ETC.
Type of Event
1. Picnic, bring your own food and beverages, outdoors possibly in pavilion.
2. Meet in restaurant e.g. Queenston Heights Restaurant or similar facility.
3. Meet at a hall where food provided, or not.
4. Other, you describe what you would like.
MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE A LICENCED HALL WITH FOOD AVAILABLE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN MIX, MINGLE, GAB, WANDER, .. BRAG & EXAGGERATE ...
Attendees
1. Members only
2. Members and partners
3. Members and Families
4. Other.
I PROBABLY WILL RIDE DOWN SO I EXPECT TO BE ALONE, ... BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO BE SOLO. MY WIFE IS AN ACCOUNTANT AND WILL BE BACK HARD AT WORK TRAVELLING NW ONTARIO ...
Activities
1. Meet in a room and talk until early hours.
2. Casino.
3. Show e.g. Motown at Niagara Casino or Yuck Yucks etc.
4. Casual sports eg baseball game, Frisbee (drinking too much)
5. Touristic venues in Niagara Falls and area
6. Other
A LIST (OUTLINE) OF WHAT'S AVAILABLE .. E.G. WHO'S PERFORMING AT THE CASINO, WINE TOURS ..) WOULD BE GREAT .. AND A POSSIBLE VENUE OF POSSIBLE ACTIVITIES WOULD BE GREAT. ALSO, A CENTRAL PLACE WHERE PEOPLE COULD JUST CONGREGRATE, HANG OUT AND HOOK-UP WITH ONE ANOTHER ... THAT IS, IF THE "OUT-OF-TOWN" PEOPLE DO THE CASINO THING IT WOULD BE A PLACE TO RETURN TO THE NEXT DAY TO GET RE-CONNECTED ...
Cost
How much are you willing to spend?
1. 0-$25.00
2. $25.00 to $50.00
3. $50.00 to $100.00
4. more
THIS HASN'T HAPPENED FOR 50+ YEARS SO $5 TO $10 PER YEAR ISN'T OUT OF LINE ... WHEN 2 DELTA BROTHERS SHOWED UP AT THE HOSPITAL IN HAMILTON DURING MY HEART SURGERY IT WAS PRICELESS ...
How much are you willing to advance?
WHATEVER IT TAKES IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN ... BECAUSE THERE ALWAYS ARE UP-FRONT COSTS ..
Do you require overnight accommodation?
MOST OUT-OF-TOWNERS MOST LIKELY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THEIR OWN ARRANGEMENTS, ... BUT A LIST OF WHAT'S AVAILABLE ... WITH ADDRESSES, PHONE NUMBERS, E-MAIL, ETC. WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL ... SO THAT RESERVATIONS CAN BE MADE ... MAYBE BROTHERS COULD POST SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS ON OUR BLOG .. ALSO "GREAT PLACES" TO EAT COULD BE POSTED ... SOMETIMES THE FREE BREAKFAST AT BEST WESTERN JUST DOESN'T CUT IT ...
ALSO, FOR PEOPLE FLYING IN, A LIST OF CAR RENTALS, TAXIS, SHUTTLE SERVICES, ETC. .. AGAIN WITH PHONE NUMBERS, ONLINE REGISTRATION INFO. WOULD HELP .. BECAUSE I'M NOT RIDING AFTER A FEW BEERS ..
Will key-ya more later, ...
Jim (Peneseh)
