There seems to be a little confusion regarding the gifts we are supposed to bring to the reunion. Everyone that is attending must bring a gift, even the ones that are only going to the Saturday banquet.
If you are a lady, bring a gift for another lady. If you are a gentleman, bring a gift for another gentleman. If you are a teenager, bring a gift for another teenager ( a CD, a book, a craft you made, or something teenagers like) and if you are a young kid, bring a gift for another kid, this one must be neutral, because I think that we have only three toddlers coming, two little boys ages 4 an 2 and a girl age 3. This is if none of Pita's daughters come. If they come, then we will have more little chi ldren.
The object of this is to have everyone participate and give a token of love to another person. You will not know to whom your gift is going to go until the exact moment of the gift giving. As you arrive to the reunion, you will give us your present and we will give it a number. You will get in exchange a ticket, like for a raffle. At a given time, we will start giving out the gifts, and everyone that has a ticket will get one, even the little children.
So that is why I suggested that it could be something made by you, a mini recipe book with your favorite recipes, a souvenir from your home town or country, or anything that you think someone would like to receive. It does not have to be an expensive gif t. I think maximum $20.00.
I think we can all have fun doing this and we can receive something from someone with lots of love.
I hope this makes it all clear. If there are still some questions, please do not hesitate in asking me.
I would also like to know your flight numbers, airline, and time of arrival. This is in order to have everything ready for you and to make sure there is someone at the lobby or at the hospitality room to receive you. Who knows, maybe at the airport too!
It is all for now. Please take care and give all my love to each and every member of your family.
