Dear Family -

This is an update on Ruby's Reunion coming up Friday, July 2nd, noon to Saturday, July 3rd, noon. I'm sure all of you have this on your calender already. It will be at the Heber Girls Camp just outside of Heber City, Utah. (A map will come later.) Heber City is one hour from Salt Lake City in the beautiful Wasatch Mountains and about 20 minutes from Park City. I think it's about 45 min from Provo, up Provo Canyon. So for you out-of-towners, you may want to make your accommodations early. It is the 4th of July weekend and things will fill up fast as Salt Lake City, Provo and surrounding communities have activities going on as well. REMEMBER that Friday night is reserved at the camp for a couple dormitories. It will accommodate around 250 people - so you only need to bring your pillow and a sleeping bag. It will be one big slumber party!!! Which will be alot of fun!!! The facilities are brand new and the bathrooms are nice and clean with showers.

Scott Seegrist is the family corespondent and has been working hard on a website that will be interactive and ready soon. He sent a letter to everyone just a couple days ago that tells about "the book" that I had written earlier.
The Madsen's have agreed to be in charge of the meals/food for the 2 days and last year Glen Seegrist agreed to be in charge of the activities. However, I haven't been able to get hold of Glen. So Beth Despain Bartlett has agreed to visit with Glen and help him out since she lives near him. So plan on games/activities for the kids. There is a lake at the camp with boating & canoeing with lifeguards and swimming for the older kids and adults if they should want. Also a large grassy area for games.

I'm getting really excited to get together again and to visit with everyone.
I just want to keep everyone informed of what's happening and more info will be coming in the next few months.
If anyone has any comments, suggestions, or would like to help in any way, contact me.
And I send my love and good wishes!

Darlene
