This is the Laverty Family Blog. I hope this is a tool by which we can share family events, news, share ideas and be a central place for family contact.
At this time we are working on setting up a family reunion for 2009
Please share your thoughts and ideas.
A couple of rule to remember:
No foul language
No hurtful messages
No personal attacks
Remember every one can see what you say
Stupid is as stupid does
And last but not least when all else fails, eat a bite of chocolate

Hey There! Well, I'm glad Jim beat me to the punch on this. Sometimes my life gets just way too busy. I need to slow down and smell the roses. Voting ends tomorrow morning 4/5/08 at 8:00 AM CST. I'll tally and announce the location then. I'll post to blog and send email as well. Hope everyone will become a blogger as this will be much easier. Not just updating about the reunion, but family news in general. Blog you later! Eileen

Good job Jim! I would have had to ask Joe to do it (or Tech Support as he is affectionately known).

Donna and Eileen, Thanks for your comments. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Please visit often and if Joe and Julie have an email address of their own please send it to me and I'll give them access.
Love you all,
Jim

Hello,
Where are we going for this Reunion??

Eileen Phelps said...

Drum roll please.....and the winner is: Branson, MO. We had a total of 11 votes. I put husbands and wives together as they all voted the same I didn't want to sway the tally. We ended up with 1 for New York, 1 for Wichita, zero of Ohio (we dissed the entire state!) and 9 for Branson. Let's plan on the week of Saturday, August 1, 2009 through Sunday, August 9, 2009. Family activities will be planned for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 8/6 - 8/8. That way if folks can only get away for a few days, we'll have everything wrapped around that weekend with travel home on Sunday. I can smell the outdoor cooking at Silver Dollar City now!
