Anxiously Waiting For Summer
So....lets keep our fingers (and toes) crossed that we will have great weather for the long weekend. It is Canada Day weekend so please bring your red and white to celebrate.
There is only days left until Reunion 2011. We have been receiving quite a few responses and are excited to see everyone. As mentioned in previous posts there are so many activities to do and people to visit the only downfall will be the weekend will pass by way to fast.
In recent years there was an item to auction and this year will be no exception. We are fortunate to have two items to auction, one being a group picture of everyone who is attending. This is the IMPORTANT part If you are only attending part of the reunion we encourage you to be available on Saturday late morning/early afternoon. This is when the picture will be taken. An email will be sent out midweek to remind everyone of the group photo.
As Friday is the holiday many of us will be starting our weekend on Thursday afternoon/evening. Friday is full of fun activities complete with a fireside snack; Saturday is another fun filled day with the group picture being taken, a couple of tournaments and then supper, hosted by the reunion committee. (REMINDER: Please bring a salad and/or dessert to share with the group). Supper will also have entertainment, supplied by those brave enough to ...? After supper there will be awards handed out to the winners of the games, guesses, tournaments, 50/50 draw, raffles and auction items. This will allow everyone ample time to grab a TOONIE Breakfast on Sunday and start to gather up.
Arrangements have been made to have the location until Monday morning, so if you desire you are more than welcome to stay one more night and depart Monday morning. We did confirm with the County of Red Deer that fireworks are illegal in the County, so no fireworks for Canada Day.
Attached is a map to the Reunion site, if needed. Double click on it and it will enlarge so you can read it.
See everyone there!!!

We are so excited ...
...after months of planning we are into the final preparations for a fantastic weekend (just holding out for awesome weather) 
There are a ton of activities that will be taking place over the weekend, providing a great variety for everyone. There will be a Bocce Ball Tournament (so please bring your Bocce set) as well as a Poker tournament so bring some cash, and let's not forget the survivor game which each person that enters will be eligible for a "survivor" prize.
The next best thing to activities is food - everyone knows that. This year will be no exception. We will have a fireside snack on Friday night, so please remember to bring your roasting sticks. On Saturday evening we will be hosting supper: meat, potatoes and buns will be provided. We ask that you each bring a salad and/or desert to share with everyone. This will be followed up with the "TOONIE" breakfast Sunday morning before everyone has to start packing up.
There will be entertainment Saturday evening and we are fortunate enough to have access to outdoor speakers so we encourage everyone to bring their iPods, iPhones etc to share the music.
With rising costs of the venue as well as food it has been decided the fee this year will be approximately $60.00 per family. A point of clarification, family is defined as those individuals that reside at your residence, so no extended family. We are aware this is a bit of an increase from two years ago however, it will also provide a bit of startup for the next group that organizes Reunion 2013 and covers some of the great prizes.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to leave a comment or send an email to scresort@telusplanet.net and we will get right back to you.
Ta ta for now!!!

...countdown begins!
Time until Thursday, June 30, 2011 at 12:00:00 Noon
28 days
668 hours
40137 minutes
2408275 seconds
That is a countdown. With only days until the Family Reunion we are excited to have received a few more responses as to who will be joining us on the weekend.
We are happy the fireban has been lifted and it looks like we will be enjoying a few fires. Arrangements have been made for firewood for the weekend however, if there is anyone that is aware of free firewood that would be greatly appreciated.
Keith and Carol were kind enought to stop in at Antler Hill during their travels to provide an udpate. The trees on the north side of the property have been removed so there is a clear view of Highway 2, we will have to be thoughtful of where people park. There has also been a playground area development with swings and slides which will be great for the smaller kids.
We once again ask that you take a few moments and confirm who will be attending from your family, guesstimates are welcomed, as well as ONE Word, from each person, that comes to mind when you think of the Quaife reunions and family events. Also, don't forget to revisit the post on March 6th for the Survival Game. Each entry will be entered into a draw.
...on another note has anyone seen the Gnome?
