BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

After careful consideration of certain factors, geological placements, and areas in the country to accommodate our large family, it has come to a decision that our Walker Family Reunion will take place in the state of...........

COLORADO!!
JULY 16-19 (Thursday - Sunday)

Arrangements have been made to have the basic cost of the hotel covered for the 3 nights of the reunion. Basic means: one room per married couple, no extra's inc: movies, room service, et al...

If you want to come earlier or stay longer, the hotel is going to garuantee the "special" rate of $85 a night (reg: $189). They just need to know by September 2008. I'll get their number out ASAP to you so you can contact them directly and make arrangements.

With that being said, we would appreciate any pre-reunion contributions to our family organization fund to cover our food costs and other costs for this reunion. You may send your contributions to Amy Dix, Walker Family Treasurer.

What do you do now?
1. Pass along this news and this website to any family members who may not have it:

you can offer, even if it's in small monthly incriments :)
4. Make plans to attend! Get work off, plan your budget to get you here, we want everyone
attend :)

I'll be asking you to serve on committee's very soon.....

This is a monumental task that Holly and I have been asked to do and many hours have been spent in planning this so far, we are far from finished though. We are having fun and are getting excited in this taking shape. Ask us questions, and we will try to answer them.
My cell number: 720/207-4552 Holly's cell: 720/620-0151
We have text messaging too, if you want to communicate that way also.

Are you Getting Ready???

LOOK!

Get ready to have a smile on your face!

Get ready to mark your calendars!

Get ready to find out where the family reunion will be!

Get Ready to find out what your job will be at the WFR!

Just waiting on a few details until all will be revealed.........

WAHOO! What's more fun than a Walker Family Reunion??!!??

Things are getting planned!!

I have not forgotten about the family reunion! Actually things are getting planned with the location.... We're not ready to reveal the place just yet, Holly and I are getting our facts and figures straight before the big announcement.

Then.... we will start planning and delegating assignments. One thing Holly and I are mulling over is NOT having a professional photographer. If any of you have comments or would like to volunteer your picture taking talents, please let me know. I think we have someone talented enough in this family that can take just as good pics with a digital camera and then get discs to everyone so that we can edit and print our own pics.

Talk at you soon! Aunt SARAH

FUN at the last reunion!

Here's some fun memories...don't want anyone to forget how much fun we had in Nauvoo!

Welcome to the 2009 Walker Family Reunion Blog Page!

I figure this can be a central source of information for everyone to check occasionally. I will post updates as I get more information in the next upcoming months.

Here's what I know so far:

• Everyone's comments that they sent me, congratulated the fine work that was done at last years reunion. It will be hard to follow.
• With that being said, Holly and I (Aunt Sarah) have a monumental task in the sight selection for 2009's reunion. This summer we are going to go sight seeing and scout out new civilizations where no man has gone before. Or, just to some cities to see if they can accomodate us.
• There has been no "anonymus donor" that has come forward so far. Don't count of it and plan accordingly. START NOW with a savings plan! (See "WFR Budget")
• If there is a particular date you can or cannot go, let us know ASAP. We will try to accomodate the best we can. No promises.
• If there is a particular job you would like to tackle for this family reunion, let us know. Otherwise, I'll delegate. (See WFR Help Wanted)
