From Alan Rickis - Organizer Supreme...

Greetings,
 
  Well things are coming together. Mark your calendars!!!! We now have a date, time and place.
 
  The Reunion is set for June 25th, 2011 (the last Saturday in June).
 
  The place is the Polish American Club in Newington, CT. The banquet room at The Polish National Home
was not large enough, based on an estimate of 100 people attending the reunion. They could only handle
about 50 people in their banquet room. The hall at the Polish American Club can handle 175 people.  
 
  The event will be catered by Michael's Catering, a dinner buffet with a standard Polish menu
 (Kielbasa and Sauerkraut, Stuffed Cabbage, Roasted Potatoes, Cheese Pierogies, etc.) I
checked several other places and they are all about the same cost and Michael's comes
recommended by my brother Albert's neighbor. I was in Connecticut over the 4th of July
and met with Michael. He seems like a straight shooter so I felt good going with him.
 
  We have the hall from 10:00 AM on Saturday until 1:00 AM on Sunday (not that I expect any of us to be
 there that long). 
 
  As far as cost goes, we won't know the exact figure until we know exactly how many will attend, but we
 needed to start somewhere, so I based the costs on an estimate of 100 people which will be
 around $30.00 per person. This includes the cost of the meal plus the hall rental.
 
Other things that we might want to consider which may impact the cost are such things as a band, (perhaps we
 can get by with a CD played and some Polka CD's), decorations, a Photographer...that sort of thing.
 
  In any case, we will be working on the details over the next several weeks, but I just wanted to get this
out to you so you can start making plans. If any of you have any suggestions please feel free to send them
along.
 
A more formal invitation will be coming shortly.
 
I know we are really getting excited about this Reunion.
 
Talk to you soon.
 
Al and Ellen
