50TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION BULLETIN
Hi everyone.
Here is a message from your Reunion Committee (Rosemary Scott, Donna Blakely, Betty Jean Moynihan, Barbara Connor, Janice James, Ida Richards, Penny Rudolfo, Nan Hill, Mid Watson and Lynda Litwin):
"We are looking forward to seeing all of you at the Reunion. It’s hard to believe we’ll be playing games, chatting with everyone AND HAVING LOTS OF FUN in just a little over a month."
Your Reunion Committee have been working on the plan for the festivities for almost 2 years. They claim the time has gone by very quickly.
Here is a sneak peak at some of the things that have been planned for July 19th:
1pm: Families gather and greet each other at the Zephyr Town Hall
2pm: Official Opening Ceremonies
3pm: Games including traditional favourites like 3-legged race; shoe toss; hammering the nail, and, of course, the great Elders Vs Juniors Basebal Game:
So Don’t forget to bring your baseball gloves/bats/balls
Later in the afternoon, we will have a proper auction, with our very own family auctioneer, who'll manage the sale of two special family items, originally belonging to Con and Cora.
The culmination, of course, is the famous Endless Table Pot Luck Supper …..
FAMILY COLOURS:
Please remember that in order for others to easily recognise which family branch you
belong to (this is especially helpful for the youth and out-of-towners), we have requested family groups to wear specific colours. Here's your colour list:
Brooks: GREEN
Dennis: BLUE
Morning: RED
Richards: WHITE
Moynihan: GREY
Watson: ORANGE
Audrey Morning checked out places for ordering T-shirts and found a place where you can order online at a reasonable prices: Lynda Litwin sent this website url:

MEMORABELIA TABLE:
Please bring your different family keepsakes to share with the rest of us. Most of you have old pictures and items, so dig them out, dust them off, label them and bring them for the table. We suggest taking pictures of items that are just too big to transport. It's a good idea to label and name the item with a note as to the significance of it; also please put your name on the label so that if anyone would like to learn more about the keepsake, they know who to speak to about it.
Coming from a Long Way Away?
If you need to find accomodation around Zephyr, you can check out www.greatertoronto.worldweb.com. In the top left corner of the website, you will find a listing of the different towns located just outside of Toronto. Choose the town and then choose B&B or hotels/motels. The nearest towns are Uxbridge and Port Perry, with Aurora and Newmarket the next closest. There is also a nearby RV park recommended by Nan Hill; for their information go to info@grangeways.com
WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON JULY 19th
