Saturday's potluck is the main event. Every household brings one dish to share, so tell us yours in your RSVP note and we'll avoid twelve potato salads. Grandma Ruth is bringing her rhubarb pie, so don't even try.

Barely. There's Wi-Fi in the main lodge.

Will there be reunion shirts?

Yes! Put your sizes in your RSVP note a month before.
