We wanted to let you know how things are progressing with the reunion plans. There are a few things that we are going to need everyone to take care of over the next few weeks.
1. Send in your payment for reunion expenses. We need to collect money to cover expenses for our family banquet, t-shirts, and miscellaneous expenses while we are there. The first payment of $50 per person will be due by February 15th. The second payment will be due by March 31st.
Please note, this price is for children as well. Any child old enough to eat at the banquet should pay. If we find there is a significant difference in children's pricing, we will adjust the second payment accordingly. Also, the amount of the second payment is not determined as of yet, but will likely be similar to the amount of the first. An accounting of what we are using the money for is posted above.
You can make your payment in one of two ways:
OPTION 1: Online. Through PayPal (www.paypal.com). To do this, you will need to create and login to your PayPal account and link your checking account. (Folks in Canada, there may be a small fee associated with transferring the money - about $1.) Then, click on "Send Money" and enter vaperera@gmail.com to transfer the money to my account. I recommend linking your bank account to PayPal instead of charging it to a credit card, because if you do that they will charge you an additional fee.
OPTION 2: By Check. If you prefer, you can send a check to me at Veronica Perera, 32365 Wing Lake Road, Franklin, MI 48025.2. Book your flight and make any car rental arrangements! Planned events will be happening from Sunday, July 1st through Wednesday, July 4th so make your plans accordingly. Our formal banquet is scheduled for the night of Tuesday, July 3rd.
3. Make your hotel reservations. See the post above for instructions on how to reserve a room at the Oak Brook Hills Marriott.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions! Get excited!
