2012 Fieg Reunion Plans Finalized

August 3 will mark the beginning of another Fieg family reunion in Cooperstown, New York.

Your board members have been working out the details to make this a relaxing, renewing, rewarding time for all the leaves, twigs, branches and limbs on the Fieg family tree.

Below is the agenda for August 3, 4, 5 and 6 along with a list of those who have already paid for various meals at Cobblescote on the Lake, the resort that is catering some of our meals, as well as those attending the free Friday get-together.  There is still time to add your name to this list for - all you need to do is contact Diana Monaco at 914-271-2944 or Diana@dianatravel.net.  We will get an invoice to you to cover the meals you choose.  PLEASE DO SO BY JULY 25.

On August 3 there will be an evening get-together at Cobblescote (address below) from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. hosted by the reunion board members.  On Sunday at 1:30 p.m. we will call our family business meeting to order (20 minutes tops) before the fun and games begin for old and young alike.  Make plans to attend one or both of these events to say hello and to hear what's happening with your kith and kin.

See you all soon!!

- Judy Fieg Kestner, Secretary

THERE IS STILL SPACE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT YET RESERVE A PLACE AT ANY OF THE FOUR MEALS OR THE FRIDAY GET-TOGETHER.  CONTACT DIANA IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND.
