Description

HERE ARE THE UPDATED DETAILS FOR THE 2017 STANNERS FAMILY REUNION
WHEN: Friday, Saturday and Sunday: August 11th, 12th and 13th, 2017
WHERE: Union Bay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Fri Aug 11th: Gather at Noreen’s
There will be a wiener and marshmallow roast at supper time.
Please bring your own beverages, lawn chairs, guitars, banjos, etc. and singing voices.
Sat Aug 12th: Union Bay Hall – doors open all day.
The Stanners family history chart, books, etc. will be on display at noon.
Dinner will be served at 6 p.m.
Jim Mozell and Trent Stanners are organizing entertainment following the meal.
Sun Aug 13th: Gather at Noreen’s
Pancake breakfast beginning at 9 a.m.
Campers: Free camping for the reunion has been arranged at Union Bay Hall. The downstairs will be open for access to water and washrooms.
There is plenty of Hotel/Motel/Bed and Breakfast accommodation in the area of Union Bay: Comox, Courtenay.
Airports are located at Victoria and Comox.
Ferries run from Horseshoe Bay (Vancouver) to Departure Bay (Nanaimo) and from Tsawwassen (south of Vancouver) to Swartz Bay (Victoria).
Booking ahead is probably a good idea.
We will require volunteers for a few tasks – possible setup of tables for the dinner on Saturday, etc.
Noreen has arranged clean-up of the hall after the dinner.
Robert Corey and Ron Lastiwka have volunteered to cook breakfast Sunday morning.
IMPORTANT: Please R.S.V.P. by June 1st so we have an idea of who will be attending and the caterer informed.
We are hoping for a huge turnout as we are recognizing not one, not two, as I previously stated, but three of our family reach the grand young age of 90 so we have plenty to celebrate. We also need a good turnout to keep the cost down. Based on 125 attending the cost per person would be approximately $30.00. This includes the wiener roast, roast beef dinner with four salads, etc., the breakfast with pancakes and sausages, the rental of the hall and the clean up after we are finished. This is an awesome deal. Not only do we eat well, we get to meet new family members, renew our contacts with our kith and kin and we celebrate Noreen Darling, Norma Walker and Mary Mozell’s 90th birthday year in style in a beautiful setting.
I’m asking for updated email addresses so please help if you can. Also talk with your siblings, cousins, kids, grandkids, great grandkids, etc. to make sure they are aware of the reunion. As you can appreciate our family is growing larger, older, and spreading out geographically so it is getting harder to organize this kind of event. We have no idea when, where or if there will be another STANNERS family Reunion so I am urging everyone to mark your calendars now and start planning so we can make this the most successful event yet.
I will be collecting payments and the names of those attending. Payment can be made by cheque or Interac e-Transfer. More details to follow.
Hope to see you next August.
Cheers,
San-Dee Stanners Lyons
