Please join us in the breakfast/hospitality room upon

reacquainted. Until gathering for dinner
Saturday evening at 5:30, the day is free for visiting the Heritage Days,
sightseeing, or any other legal means of entertainment or to visit in the
hospitality room and share family photos, stories, and just get
acquainted.
The main event of the reunion will be the sit-down dinner Saturday evening at 6:00. One of the most fun parts of Saturday Night’s Dinner is the GIFT EXCHANGE! Please do not forget to bring a small item, usually something of regional interest or handmade crafts that have a special personal touch to them. Those who bring a gift will exchange with others for a nice memento to take home from the reunion. Be sure to wrap the gift and place your name inside so the recipient can search you out to thank you.
However, we always love to have family members who
have musical talent to provide a couple of songs for entertainment, so anyone
who would like to provide entertainment on Saturday evening should contact (reunion@eidson.org)
with particulars.
Sunday
morning just before check-out, we will meet for our special memorial service to
remember family and friends we have lost since the last reunion and to say
good-bye to the new family and friends we have met at this reunion.
REUNION 2010
Now a few pieces of general information you may need:
1.
Hotel Reservations:
August 24th is the cut-off date for the rooms which are blocked
for the reunion. However, this does not
mean you cannot make reservations; it means that we cannot guarantee room
availability at the special rate.
Please make your own reservations by calling the hotel directly. There are MANY events in Fredricksburg during
this time of year, it would be wise to book early
since the hotel expects to be at full capacity for the weekend. Reservations must be made directly with the
Inn at 800-446-0202 to guarantee the group rate.

made early so the appropriate arrangements can be made. Please let Jon know via e-mail, mail, or
phone as soon as possible your intentions to attend, this is non-binding and
