Reunion Schedule
by Dave Fulbright
Register and Reserve Your Room Early We shall meet at the Quality Inn in Springfield. The cost of the rooms is $52.00 for single or double occupancy. The rate covers single rooms with a king size bed and so called double/double rooms, a double room with two double beds. The rate includes a complimentary continental breakfast. Rooms that have not been reserved by June 12 will not be held. After that, the room rate will be higher. Our block of 40 rooms is on the first floor. To reserve your rooms, you need to call 1-417-833-3108. At a later time, I may be able to pass along an 800 number to you. The Inn has just changed owners, and they have not made a business decision about an 800 number at this point.
The History Museum and Our Noon Meal In order to meet with Clara's family, we have made the following special arrangements. Under Clara's leadership, a group will come down from Kansas City, Missouri, and meet us at the History Museum for Springfield-Greene County at 9:30 AM. There will be special Fulbright exhibits set up at the museum. We visit the museum with a special focus on the Fulbright Family Archives Room until 11:00 AM. At that time, we shall return to the Quality Inn for a luncheon at 11:30 AM. We will need to eat at 11:30 AM sharp, because Clara and her group must leave at 1:00 PM to return to Kansas City for their reunion's evening meal. It will be a tight schedule for them. The meal cost is $6.95 plus tax for a total of $7.37. It is a "pay as you go" meal. The gratuity is not included in this price. We shall have a meeting room for the meal that will allow a brief program and a chance to visit with one another. Family Association Business Meeting At approximately 2:00 PM, we shall have our family association business meeting. It will run until about 4:00 PM. Following that, family members may change for their picture if they want. At 4:30 PM, we shall have a family photograph made. Saturday Evening Banquet Our family banquet is at 6:30 PM, although we ask you to make an effort to be in the banquet room by 6:00 PM or shortly after. We have the room reserved until 11:00 PM for our dinner, program, and "after-events." Our family wants that time. We have always visited for a long time after the evening meal. The two entree dinner buffet on Saturday evening will be $12.95 per person plus a 17% tax and gratuity charge. The total charge is $15.15 per meal. Sunday Morning Board Meeting, and Worship On Sunday, we shall have a breakfast for the members of the Fulbright Family General Board. It will be a working breakfast. Other family members can eat together in a different part of the motel or at a nearby restaurant. We are in the process of choosing a church at which family members may worship together. Our schedule is still incomplete, more details will be presented later.
