COME JOIN THE FUN!!

The offspring of Phil & Enid Martin, along with other family members, are going to have a Martin Family Get-Together. It will be in Mesa, AZ on Friday and Saturday, November 28th & 29th, 2008. That's the day after Thanksgiving. We'll start around noon on Friday, November 28th and end in the afternoon on Saturday, November 29th.

We've scheduled it as such for a few reasons:

1. Kids should all be out of school
2. There should be time to drive/fly to Mesa on Friday morning and drive/fly home on Saturday evening, for those who are on a tight schedule. For those who aren't, you can come earlier and leave later.
3. It will only require one overnighter in a hotel or wherever you happen to flop.
4. It should only require most of us to take one day off work.
5. We're having it soon, instead of next summer, because my Dad, your Grampy, wants to have it as soon as possible. He feels that he's here on earth instead of with his Sweetheart, because he has more to do in bringing his family together. Linda, Melvin, Jeff, Cheli, and I all agree. We'd like to do all we can to begin an annual or biennial reunion or get-together, which will last long after Mother and Dad have "shuffled off this mortal coil."

We will try to keep expenses to a minimum, but we'll most likely need some help with food. Whether that's money or donated, prepared food, I'm not sure, but we just don't have everything etched in granite, yet.

Put this even on your calendar and start making plans.

There will certainly be more information to come.
