Uncle Richard had a great idea that someone should create a family blog so that everyone can go to the same place and get updates about our family members, family reunion information, or just have it a place where we can post great things happening in our families!
The Rex and Charlene Brown kids are planning the 2011 Family Reunion. And this year's reunion will not be like our traditional family reunions. Instead, we are incorporating Rex and Charlene's 50th wedding anniversary and we want everyone to start planning NOW so they can attend!
The reunion will be held July 8, 9, & 10th in Meridian, Idaho. We will begin with our family get-together BBQ dinner on the 8th at Kevin & Elizabeth's House from 6-10pm. Address for Mapquest is 2400 W. Wapoot Dr, Meridian, ID 83646. Please park on Wapoot or Goddard Creek and walk up. The pool will be open for those kids that want to swim!!!
Saturday we will be at Dianne's Stake Center for daytime activities AND the Anniversary party. Pancake breakfast at 9am, and lunch at 12 noon. We'll have bounce houses, water slides and an obstacle course to play on. The stake center has a softball field and a pavillion for shade. The TACO TRUCK is coming that day to give us tasty tacos for lunch. Bring your sunblock for a DAY OF FUN!!! Plenty of snacks/drinks for everyone! At 3pm, we will break so everyone can get ready for the Anniversary Party. The arty is from 7-9. Everyone will be on their own for dinner, as we will only be serving desserts.
Sunday morning church is from 11-2 at Rex & Charlene's Ward and we encourage everyone to stay for all 3 meetings. Light lunch to follow prior to departure.
The host hotel is the Marriott Springhill Suites in Meridian, corner of Chinden and Cloverdale, just 2 miles from all the action.. We have blocked out rooms for you so please tell them you are booking with the Brown Reunion/50th Wedding Anniversary. Here is the link: http://www.marriott.com/ho
Other family members in the valley to bunk with are Joel & Sharon, Forest, Karen, Dianne, Liz, and Rex & Charlene.
We are asking that you please RSVP for the reunion by May 15th as we are planning for so many people, both family and friends! Questions, post them here. Liz's home #888.9271. We look forward to seeing you in July!
P.S. Rex & Charlene's Home, Liz's Home (we both live in the same subdivision), Dianne's Home, The Stake Center, and the Hotel are all within 4 miles of each other. So everything should be very convenient for you to get around to!
Love,
Aaron and Sallie Brown
Brent and Debbie Brown
Cheryl and Todd Hovorka
Dianne and Shaun Fickes
Elizabeth and Kevin Amar
and their 17 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren

We are trying to get an initial head count. If you are coming, could you ask around to your other siblings and/or children to figure out if they are coming as well. Please help us spread the word about this site with all our family!
