Polls

So far, 19 have participated in the polls posted on the right hand column of the blog page. In an effort to get more participation in these polls, I have extended them for one more week. If you have not yet participated, please do so. The planning committee needs and values your input.

Thank you!

Working on the Agenda

The planning committee has been in discussions about the plans and agenda for TAFRU over the past week. One thing that has been discussed is putting together an agency breakfast for Saturday morning. Some families will be traveling from outside the Portland area and have not had the opportunity to meet their agency representative and this would allow those families that opportunity.

Before we try to set anything up, we want to get a better idea of how many would truly be interested.

Also, we would like to get a better idea of how many are planning on attending TAFRU at this point. This will help us tremendously as we continue to make reunion plans.

Please take a minute to participate in the polls that have been set up on the right hand side of the blog page.

Thanks.

Dossiers, Referrals, Court Dates, Pick Up Trips and TAFRU

I know there have been some good things happening with our Toukoul families over the last couple of months. If anyone has some good news to share please leave a comment.

Now that the Holidays are behind us, it will be time to get back to work on plans for TAFRU.

If you are planning to attend, but haven't made your hotel reservations, please do so. Just click on the picture of the hotel on the right hand side of the blog page to make your reservation. If you make a reservation and later discover you can't attend, you have until July 23rd to cancel the reservation without penalty. Making your reservation early will also assist the planning committee in determining if additional rooms are needed and we are more assured of being able to get them now.

Stay tuned for more information!
