I would like to design and send invitations- mainly to people who are not on this forum so far. Due to my "premature Alzheimer's memory", I can remember a lot of other families and where they settled. It would be worth sending out invites on spec, using the phone book etc. I can think of maybe 10-20 just off the top of my head!
Please send me a PM with your phone number if you would like to be a contact. I'm happy for people to ring me, but more people might respond if they see a familiar name. Three or four contacts would be good.

I've got one other contact so far- I'll probably draft the invitations on the weekend, maybe by then we can consolidate the option of catering and the suggested cost. Then I'll start sending them out a bit at a time. April 24 will be on us before we know it.

I've emailed an ad to the community notices of several western suburbs newspapers. Carol would you like to have another go at the magazines? Thanks.

It was moi who tried the magazines. Have resent the ads, hopefully with more success this time.

Hi Judith
I got the flyer today thank you so much..it is fabulous,I had a good laugh,you have done a great job.
I am making an information booklet up that I will be able to complete after the reunion when I get everybody's details,it will be a way to remember the day in words and pictures ( hopefully) so I will be having a little chat with everybody and getting you all to fill out an info sheet that I have formatted and then when it is all put together it will be a great little momento and a guide to any future reunions or whatever

That's great, I needn't do an attendance book now, as this is a much better substitute.

Thanks for the compliments- had a fun time myself doing that flyer.
