Moyer Reunion 2010

Reunion Recap 2010!

Kudos to Mark & Cherrie for putting on an outstanding reunion on Sunday! We all know that while gathering a family together for an afternoon seems simple, it still takes a great deal of effort, love and care!
Thanks for all the hard work Mark and Cherrie!

Fun was had by all thanks to the fun and games provided by Beth & Kerry!
We loved the games you provided for us and the laughter it brought to everyone! Whether you participated or watched the fun......The Games Rocked!

• Golf - Michael Shafer

Mark's informal - non-scientific- food survey:

• get more fruit next year, pasta salad was next favorite, garden salad had the most left over
• pulled pork was not a favorite among many - needed something maybe BBQ?
• baked beans were a hit
• most liked chicken and sausage
• hot dogs and saurkraut was a hit
• hamburgers were ok
• corn was not a favorite
• caterer provided condiments, utensils, plates and cups
• try something different from the menu
• many folks just finished lunch at 2:00pm (late from golf) there were lots of rolls, bread, variety of meats left. Ask caterer to start earlier & leave longer 12-6? If not okay than scale back to 2/3 of participants? There was easily 1/2 food leftover. Also bring plastic food bags for leftovers.

Drinks - this was a hot year, but lower in numbers

• Yuengling 1 case
• Corona 1 case
• Miller Lite 1 case (suggest 1/2 case)
• Water 3 cases
• Coke 1 case (suggest 2 6pk.)
• Diet Coke 2 6pk. (suggest 1 6pk.)
• Root Beer 1 6pk.
• Orange 1 6pk.
• Cream 1 6pk.
• Grape 1 6pk.
• Brisk Tea 2 6pk (suggest we drop)
• Diet Nestea 2 6pk. (suggest 3 6pk.)
• Sprite 2 6pk.
• We had well over a full case of beer leftover, we probably had a full case of soda and a case of water as well - just did not drink as much this year.
