Minor Pickup Changes

Things are falling together nicely, two things on the arrivals James and Maureen will be picked up by Mike and Sue McCafferty, Pat Galvin will be picked up by Sean Clark, if you don't know who will be gathering you up look for the Galvin Family Reunion sign.Departures are the same but some of the times are changed because of flight changes, the group going out on Monday to Toronto will be picked up at 7:30 am.we will have a master list of departures and times when you get here so if you have any questions just ask myself, Mike Mccaffery, Tim Clark or Bob Bogner as we are the transportation committee.A couple of reminders it will be warm they are telling us while you will be here 78 Degrees or better so bring sunscreen they have a pool at the hotel so bring your suits and lastly the Banquet on saturday nite is semi formal no denim or jeans.There will be more reminders i am sure, see you all soon.
