Dates feed back

I have not seen any comments about the date possibilities. If it feels too far in advance to decide on a date then we could go with Oak Ridge - has a lot more flexibility.

1. OR - July 26-29, 2012

2. WA - Jun 22-25, July 6-9 or Aug 9-12, 2012

3. MN Clearwater - June 1-4 or Jun 8-10, 2012

4. MN Oak Ridge - flexible dates

To sweeten the Oregon option. Though we can't cook there is a very good Indian restaurant not far from Menucha that has a fabulous buffet both lunch and dinner we could do one meal there. Either Sunday after check out - it is on the way to the airport, or one of the evenings.

I am sure that Minneapolis must have an Indian restaurant we could go to for one meal.

Reunion Ideas

I have started contacting people to find if there is any interest in attending a reunion of our "Presby" family from Miraj, Wanlesswadi, Sangli, Vengurla, Kolhapur. There seems to be some interest. So the next big hurdle is the where and when. I am thinking Summer of 2012.

1. Menucha Retreat and Conference Center, Portland, OR - About $200/person. This would include meals. We would not be able to do any cooking. The only available date for 2012 is July 26-29. Thurs - Sunday. It is close to the airport.

2. Fort Worden, Olympic peninsula, WA. About $220/person if we have all meals with them. The "houses' we rent all have kitchens so we could do some of our own cooking. Available June 22-25, July 6-9, or Aug 9-12. Not very convenient to the airport.

3. Clearwater Forest, Deerwood, MN - more rustic dorm type rooms shared bathroom. Pay by the building. We would do our out cooking. Only available weekends are June 1-4 and June 8-10. About 2 hours away from the airport. Cheapest choice. About $50 and then however we figure meal.

4.Oak Ridge MN more like a hotel. The food catered. Only pay for the meals we eat. But no place to cook. Convenient to airport. About $109 per double room and then food on top of that.

So these are some ideas. I will continue to research places. Barbara
