I've talked with a few of you and here is a tentative look at the reunion weekend. NOTHING is firm, so if anyone has other ideas please speak now or forever hold your pee.
First, I think the best place for everyone not planning to stay with relatives is at the Jonesboro Holiday Inn. It isn't fancy, but it's nice and they have an indoor pool, a restaurant and a bar...and as most of you know you're coming to a dry county so the hotel bar might be a plus. If we can book at least 10 rooms, we can get a group rate of about $85 per room--and possibly even a discount on banquet room rental. Suites are available for $109 to $140, and there is a $20 pet fee. Please contact me as soon as you can if you'd like to book a room here so that we can try and get the group rate--and remember this is a holiday weekend so they will probably start to fill up.
You can have a look at it at http://www.holidayinn.com/ and just type in Jonesboro, AR where it asks for city and state.
As far as activities we are thinking....
Friday:
-7 p.m. "Who Dunnit Dinner" at Mom and Dad's old restaurant in Bay
Saturday:
-Morning Golf for the guys--Sage Meadows, the golf course where Aunt Aud lives charges $45 and that includes cart rental, shopping for the gals
-Afternoon, meet back at the restaurant in Bay for music, slide shows and swapping stories
-Evening, rent a banquet room at the Holiday Inn and kick back and visit there.
Sunday:
-Trip to the hills to see historical family sites
-Possible trip to Memphis for anyone who's not interested in going on the family history trip (or we can all just sit around and talk about the people who aren't there to defend themselves).
Let me know what ya think and let's get this thing rolling!
Love,
Jodi

Nice job, Cuz! Count us in for the Holiday Inn. I'm in for golf, and Dylan too, if no one else cares. Everything else sounds good too!
Cloud and I will stay there too. Cory you and Cloud have to behave though--and of course Dylan can play golf. I think Asa is playing too.
That sounds great Jodi! ... I'm down with that! Please count me in for a room for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.... I am hoping that If I can stay another night that they will have vacancies by then....
Should I call them and give a credit card to hold a room? Can someone arrange for the block of rooms so that we can "join" the group and have rooms close together... do we want rooms near the pool?
and thanks Debbey, for not lumping me in with Cory and Cloud.... I didnt want to have to behave myself!

PS.... I havent golfed in a couple years... but I can still have fun if there is room for me
my biggest problem will be.... after I swing the club, I am standing too close to the ball
I had a comment but it pissadered. I won't re-post til I check it again...least I hear a half dozen people ask if there's and echo in the room!
okay...my 'puter is going nuts. I write, look up to see what the kids are doing, and my comments are gone!
Jodi, you did great with the planning, but howz 'bout we add a breakfast to Saturday morning? (at the old Cafe). We can all meet there, split up and go where ever. Some might want to go to Memphis to do the "Elvis Thing". ??
Jodi? Did you hear me? I said BREAKFAST!!! You're not busy with a hundred different things are you? You seriously need a vacation. What say we take one? Say around the 4th of July????
