Blog Access Difficulties.    A few people have emailed me to report that they can't log onto this blog.  Since the blog's designer is out of town, the problem will be addressed after he returns home later today.  

Memorial weekend sounds fine to us. Is there a pavillion or place at a park we can reserve? Saturday and/or Sunday events would be fine.

Proposed Family Gathering in 2013

Like some of you, I too am learning about blogs as I go. So bear with me.

Here are some new variables affecting choice of weekend in 2013: 
 
1. Henry S. reports that he can't make it the 1st weekend in June, or one of the weekends in October. 
2. Suzanne reports that she can not make it on any of the other weekends in June. She has suggested Memorial Day weekend. 

***********************************************************

General Discussion - Need input from everyone please...

Question #1:  Can others make it during Memorial Day Weekend?  If so, which day is best?  Saturday, May 25 or Sunday, May 26, 2013.  (May 27 is Memorial Day)

Question #2:  Where shall we have the gathering?  We need people familiar with L.A.'s current offerings to step up and suggest possible locations.  If we do select Memorial Day weekend, it could be somewhat more challenging to get a good spot. 

Question #3:  Who is invited?    Start with Bertram/Wilder clan?  Plus spouses and close relatives by marriage of course.  So far, emails about a proposed family gathering have gone out to grandchildren of Jack and Anna Bertram as well as many of their offspring. In addition, other close family members for whom email addresses are known have been sent emails.  

Question #4:  How will food and beverages be provided?    

Question #5:  Should there be a genealogy table where people can learn more about the family tree?  

Thanks for setting this up...how do we post a picture on the blog? I have not used a blog before, but have read many.

Thanks

Thanks for setting this up. I have been a resident of Adi Da Samrajashram, otherwise known as the Island of Naitauba, Fiji, since 2006. I usually get to the US once a year to visit family and get my annual medical exams. With a little luck, I will see you all in June!

Just testing to see where this goes...btw, Fiji sounds great!

Like it?

Tell me what you think. I can always change the admin. Also you are the only one invited so far I will invited others if you like the blog.
