Weekend Wonderings: Reunion Registration Time!

It continues to amaze me how we're still all connecting some 41 years after the first night many of us gathered in the OLP Cafeteria to join the parish drum corps ...

The Survey Monkey link for this summer's reunion has barely made it to everyone's e-mail boxes, and we already have a pile of folks (from inside and beyond the Saints greater metropolitan area) who have registered. Some are coming for part of the day, others are spending the whole day with us, and many are bringing family members to at least one of the day's events.

Way cool if you ask me!

We'll be back to the Monday MatchUps, Reunion Edition on May 26th. When you consider how many bus trips and parades we shared together for Memorial Day weekends over the years, it fits somehow.

Two Months and Counting!

Let's start the countdown for the summer reunion!

Today marks the two month mark until the Saints Summer Reunion 2008. In case you missed the e-mail and haven't been out on the home page at www.saintsdrumcorps.com, the festivities are slated for July 19, 2008.

The day will start with a picnic at Sewaren Park and is open to Saints, Saints families, and friends of Saints of all ages. Later in the evening, the adults are invited to gather at Post 471 in Iselin, the home for our mini reunion last November.

You can register for just the picnic, just the dinner, or both (with a $5 discount).
