Please bring some tennis shoes to wear to participate in our special activity on Saturday the 10th. Remember ladies our lunch is on Wednesday the 7th at 11:30 pot luck salads. Location is 6500 south Dixie drive my ward house. The rest othe the reunion is at Britney's stake center 2900 south 8000 West for the 8th 9th and 10th. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Things that will be provided for the box car, boxes, toilet paper cardboard insides paper towel inside cardboard, anything else you might want for box car like duck tape to hold together and of course the spray paint or anything else to make it fancy you will need to bring. You can make your cars as fancy as you would like. You might want to come up with a way to carry the car for the race to make it easier for the runner. One more week and the festivities begin I am so excited to see everyone.

For those groups wanting to participate in Making Box Cars and racing them remember to bring spray paint for the cars to deck them out, and sunglasses for the driver a spray bottle and rag and a drink the race will be completed with the same group helping to make the cars but only one person doing the running. The whole group will participate as the pit crew for the different parts of the race.

Location for the hike is East Canyon exit first parking past the parking for Little Dell Reservoir it is part of the Mormon Trail The plan is to meet there at 8:30 am and hike as far as you want to hike back no specific length Mark said it is a fairly easy hike. Since the hike is just up Parleys a little ways can go right to the 201 freeway and head to 8000 West to the Stake Center for the rest of the days activities. It will be at least a 30 minute drive from the hike. Friday June 9th is the morning for the hike.

Wednesday for the lunch it is pot luck salads and I will provide the drinks this will start at 11:30 at my ward building 6500 South Dixie Drive. for the Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the reunion you might want to bring a lawn chair to sit on when watching the out door activities to be comfortable. On Saturday I will need several people to bring blocks of ice in coolers for making the shaved ice so that we have plenty to last for the day. Thank you to everyone that has helped in getting this together and being willing to help when given assignments.
