Greetings staffers!
The big CYO Camp Field reunion to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Fr. O’Grady’s death and the closing of camp is only TEN weeks away. Here is a little reminder from Ruth Jacobus, who is our local coordinator this year:
———- Forwarded message ———-
Hello fellow Camp Field Staffers and Campers, Are you making plans for the summer? Please remember to include our Fabulous Reunion to your plans. We will be meeting once again at Tall Timber Ranch near beautiful Lake Wenatchee on July 11, 12, and 13. There will, of course, be the sing-a-long campfires that we all love so much. If you have any pictures, slides, photo albums, etc. please bring and share. There will probably be a short hike for those who are interested. And for those who have come in the recent past, there will most likely be the “River Stand and Chat”.
The cost for the weekend will break down like this: Lodging is $16.00 per night per person (whether you stay in a cabin or bring your own trailer.)
Meals Breakfast $6.00
Lunch 6.00
Dinner 8.00
Brunch 10.00
Children ages 5-10 are 1/2 price ages 0-4 free
There is no reduction for missed meals
What does this mean? For an adult for the whole weekend (Friday dinner through Sunday brunch) the total cost is $70.00. My ten year old son will cost me $51 for the whole weekend, this includes lodging.
When I first heard the price I was a little concerned that it was too expensive, but then I calculated staying in a hotel and buying meals for myself and my family and paying for entertainment. This weekend is fairly close to being a bargain! Besides, where else are you going to go to spend time with people that are this much fun?
This event doesn’t happen very often, don’t miss out!!
See you in July. Wee-mee-mee-oh-ah! Ruth (Jacobus) Piccirillo

I will be sending out email reminders more frequently now that we are getting close. I will also provide you with more details as they are formed.
