Mini-reunion Set for November in Las Vegas

Cousin Sue Williams has been busy planning not only her imminent retirement from the travel biz but also a 2014 mini-reunion for the Fieg family.

In an e-mail from earlier this month, Sue shares the following details, encouraging any and all twigs on the Fieg family tree to attend:

The date will be Sunday November 2 and the event will kick off with a 3:00 p.m. cocktail party at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas (check it out at https://redrock.sclv.com/).  Dinner will follow at the resort in either Lucille's B-B-Q (www.lucillesbbq.com/locations/las-vegas) or the Grand Cafe (https://redrock.sclv.com/Dining/Grand-Cafe.aspx ).

Sue is working with a representative of the resort to schedule the dinner and cocktail reservations, and is delegating the room reservations to Diana Doyle since, as of May 31, Sue will find herself among the ranks of retired baby-boomers!  Her partner will take over the travel business.  Our best wishes to her in this momentous move.

Those who plan to attend in November should contact Sue at either her cell number (708/955-2906) or at home (708/460-5179). 

Sue and hubby Ed will fly out on October 31, as they plan to visit Bryce Canyon National Park, and will stay five or six nights at the Red Rock.  At this point her four brothers (probably with a sprinkling of spouses) and Roman half-sister Sam Theobald and husband Chuck all plan to attend as well.

As a special treat Sue will attempt to create a CD of family photos to show during the cocktail party.  More to come about that.

Please mark your calendar and start saving frequent flyer points.  We hope to see you all in Vegas!
