Hello Diehl Family Members,

Here’s our final post about the reunion.  If you have any questions please call Shannon at 306.384.5504 or Holly at 306.541.6836.

What To Bring!

• Life Jackets for toddlers: We do not know what the sizes are of the life jackets that are at the camp. Since it’s a youth camp, they are likely youth and adult size. If you have toddlers and will want to be taking them out canoeing, please bring life jackets for them.
• Bedding and Towels: Towels and bedding for cabins and dorm rooms are NOT provided.
• Campers: Firewood and water is available at the campsite.
• Money: Reunion fees are $20 / person for the entire weekend. There is no dayrate as the facilities cost what they cost and any overage will go towards the Balmoral Cemetery upkeep. Children ages 6 and under are free. There is a $10 deposit for each cabin and dorm room key (refunded at checkout we are no longer taking in mattress cover deposits. We trust you☺
  Book Payments: Thank you all for your help with compiling information for the book. You can email money transfers to diehlfamilyreunion@gmail.com or, Holly’s paypal link is: https://www.paypal.me/HollyLeFrancois – We will accept payment at the camp too.
• Posters: Each Liaison is responsible for one poster for each of the “siblings” (William, Henry, Lawrence, Fred, Rene, Raymond, Myrtle, Lillian, Rose). ADDITIONALLY, each “grandchild” attending is responsible for a poster for their “entire” family. For example for the “sibling” RENE will have a poster, and then a poster for any of Rene’s children (“grandchild”) in attendance.
  Harry and Jane Poster: There is no one designated to bring this poster. We will have the poster boards up on the wall so that anyone who wants to contribute a photo or photocopy can do so. Please add what you can!
• Memorabilia: We will have some tables set up for memorabilia. Suggestions old books (Real is bringing great-grandpa’s bible), photo albums, newspaper articles, old garden or hand tools, crochet or needlework, medals, trophies, certificates, etc. (anything that you think that people would enjoying seeing)!! *** LABEL YOUR ITEMS and/or provide a card or something with some writing on it, explaining what it is and who it belonged to.
• Volunteers: if you are able, please sign up for one of the following duties – check in crew, breakfast crew, meal crew (set out / put away napkins, drinks etc), taxi driver (golf cart), babysitting crew, checkout crew, clean up crew.
• Games: horseshoes, badminton rackets, croquet, bocce ball, bean bag games, etc.
• Meals & Schedule: EACH family needs to bring : 1 bag of fruit OR treat OR snack for each day that you are attending (bunch of bananas, bag of apples, cookies, chips, pretzels etc). 1 dish for EACH potluck meal that your family will be attending. The size / amount is – whatever size of dish would be enough for YOUR family (Example: You are not expected to provide a salad for the entire reunion crew however it wouldn’t hurt to double your recipe).  NOTE: there is a walk-in cooler in the kitchen.

Have a great long weekend everyone.  See you at the reunion!
