Smith News: June reunion meeting....

June reunion meeting was held at Jane and Bill Smith's home...

**We had a trial run on the fry bread tacos.....

**We ate and ate and ate!!!

**We have a bunch of donated prizes, they are so cool!!! There are even kids prizes too so we will have a kids raffle too...watch on facebook for a early bird raffle to happen. Missy will be posting a early bird raffle on there that you can bid for and will be able to pick up your prize at the reunion then.

**Bars will be made by the reunion committee to share with everyone for the weekend.   We will each bring a cookie sheet of bars and if anyone else would like to bring some that would be greatly appreciated. We will try to get some sugar free ones made too. If you know of a good recipe for some sugar free ones and would be willing to bring it that would be GREAT too!! I will make some signs for sugar free items.

**We will make some signs again and put them out at the end of my driveway and on highway 71 and 87 for everyone. Here are directions to come to Missy's house for the reunion...
~From Park Rapids...Mc Donald's go south on Hwy 71 for 4 miles to State Hwy 87 and take a left. Stay on this until you go about 3 miles to fire number 16555.   It will be on the right side and there is a sign out at the end of the driveway that says Missy's Family Child Care.   There will be signs posted also!!

**Christie Kay and I will be heading to Sam's club to do our shopping to save a little on the cost of food. We will do this on Thursday before the reunion.

**Golfing on Friday July 22nd...
There is a sign up spot on Facebook.   The cost is $25.00 per person and that includes a cart. The price is the same if you do not take a cart. It is a pretty good deal. You will golf at 9 am with a shotgun start. And a two person team event (scramble format).   Pro golfer Rick Smith is the head of this and if you have any questions feel free to ask.   Here is the link to the page to sign up.
