Greetings,

         Well, things are moving ahead nicely. So far we have the date, June 25th, the place, The Polish American Club in Newington, CT., the food service, Michaels Catering, and I just booked the DJ, CnT Entertainment. My niece Kati’s husband Tom has volunteered to take photos of the event (digital) so we can download them and create a CD for those who want one. Thanks Kati and Tom for volunteering to do this. All that we need now is YOU!!

I will be sending out the “electronic invitations” around the 1st of April (paper ones to those not on my e-mail list), with the details, but I’ve listed the tentative Agenda below:

Family Member Reunion “Meet & Greet”      2:00 – 4:00 PM

Dinner served                                                 4:00 – 5:00 PM

DJ                                                                   6:00 – 10:00 PM  

(The DJ will be setting up between 5 and 6, so he will be playing some background music during this time for us while we finish dinner.

            The DJ told me that we can bring CD’s of our favorite Polka music if we want, and he will mix it in. Also, he sent me a link to their web site where they have set up an “account” for The Rickis Family Reunion. The Family Reunion site contains a “Play List” area where we can go in and put songs on the list that we would like him to play. I’ll pass that info along a little later on. (I want to go out and try it first before I send anything out).

            I have also heard from a couple of different folks who told me that they have run into some family members who are not aware of the reunion. If this happens, please, please, please give them my contact information and I will make sure they get the reunion information.

            Also, please forward any information you already have about the reunion to any and all family members you know, who are not on my e-mail distribution list (and send me their e-mail address). You can also point them to The Rickis Family Web Site that Tim has created. He is keeping this up to date and has included the Reunion information.

            Also, if you are aware of any family members that have recently changed their e-mail information please ask them to let me know so I can update my database.

Thanks again and we will see you on June 25th.
