Calling All Friends and Relatives to the 2010 Maresh Backyard Reunion

Hannan-Hannon, Morse, Boynton, Marriner, Lermond, Heal-Heald,

Friends, Relatives and All

I’ve already received queries as to when the Annual Reunion will be, so here it is! Write the date on your calendar. We will again meet, the Lord willing, in our backyard on the second Saturday in August, which is August 14. For those who don’t know, “our backyard”, is the home of Bob and Isabel (Morse) Maresh at 169 Howard Road in Belmont, Me.

There will be a pot-luck lunch. We will provide the essentials: paper plates, plastic eating utensils, cups, coffee, tea, cold lemonade and water. We will make a large potato salad, baked beans, and sweet-`n-sour meatballs. Bring a casserole, salad, soda, chips, dessert, or whatever your specialty is. It would be nice if you also brought the recipe. Also bring an item for the auction, which is held to help with the expenses. For the past few years, a donation from proceeds has been donated to Greene Plantation Historical Society for a special fund. Those attending look forward to the auction, and some items have found new homes. Also bring a chair to sit on.

Last year I put out the word that if you came early to help with set-up, it would be appreciated. I wrote about it in my Christmas newsletter. The early birds were many, and the backyard was a ‘bee-hive’ of activity, with people setting up canopies, tables, washing lawn chairs, setting tables, and getting everything ready. The kitchen was no less busy, with people putting together potato salad and deviled eggs, making lemonade and all that needed to be done. It took a lot of pressure off us, and everyone had a good time.

Bring Grandma, Gramps, aunts, uncles, and cousins by the dozens. Last year we met some great new relatives, who we have kept in touch with. Be sure to come back, and bring siblings.

Who’s coming? It started out, many years ago, with Hannans-Hannons, and Boyntons. Through the years we’ve added the vast Morse Clan, Marriners, Lermonds, Heals and Healds. Since we are all related, it is a hodge-podge of relatives. We’ve had so much fun that we’re inviting friends, neighbors and anyone who wants to become one of ‘us’, and listen to the tall tales; to eat, and to watch yet another generation play in the old apple tree and swing on the swings.

Bring your family history, your family photos to be scanned, and “show and tell” items.

Hope to see you all on the 14^th of August. God bless,

Bob & Isabel and the Maresh family
