Hello Cousins. We are in the process of planning a 2013 Stiles Family Reunion. We have reserved June 26-29, 2013 for a family gathering in the Twin Cities/Prior Lake, MN area. We are contacting the children of John & Dorothy, Sis & Gene, Charlie & Olive and Ralph & Kate Stiles. Our hope is that each of the cousins will be responsible for notifying their extended families. All ages are welcome.
In order to plan effectively we would like a commitment and a number of how many will be coming from each of the family units by May 1st. After you have forwarded this announcement and contacted all of your extended family, please reply to this email with an initial count & names of who will be coming. Or let Dick, Sherri or Ray know.
Once we have your response, and start getting an idea of how many plan to attend, we will be back in touch with more specific details. This will be a fun event for all ages of the Stiles family!
