Third Reunion Letter

2007 Kjellberg – Kjallberg Family Reunion

June 8, 2007

Dear Family,

We hope that you are enjoying spring. Here in Seattle, the April showers led into May showers and now a little sun in June. The advancement of spring has also brought us that much closer to the Kjellberg – Kjallberg reunion. We want to update you on the events and activities to come, as well as steps to take to join the fun.

The reunion itself will be July 29th – August 1st at Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend. It takes about 2.5 hours from Seattle to get to Port Townsend, which includes a ½ hour ferryboat ride. Check-in time at Fort Worden is at 3pm. We will include maps to Fort Worden in our final letter.

On Sunday, July 29th, ferries leave from Edmonds every 40 minutes, starting early in the morning. If you left early in the day, you could spend a few hours, prior to check-in time, exploring picturesque Port Townsend or go to snow-capped Hurricane Ridge that is part of Olympic National Park, near Port Angeles. This is about a 3-hour drive.

After the 3pm check-in at Fort Worden, you can settle in your rooms, socialize, or explore the area, before we meet together at 5:30pm in our own reserved dining room for our first dinner together.

When making your travel arrangements, be sure to take into consideration the time it takes to get to Fort Worden. It might be best to come to Seattle the night before. We are making plans for activities on the days before and after the reunion, so we definitely want you to come earlier or stay later if that fits into your vacation plans.

We are scheduling activities to showcase Seattle and the surrounding area. Some of the activities require prior reservations, so we will need a firm head count to schedule these. On the back of the payment form is a list of activities. Please return this form with your selections.

Because this is Seattle Seafair Week, we recommend that you make your hotel reservations early. You also have the option of staying in one of our homes. Please see next page for information.

The Kjellberg blog is up and running. Information regarding a range of hotels, description of Fort Worden, information about optional activities and other reunion items can be found there. The blog will be continually updated so check back often. The address is http://kjellbergreunion.blogspot.com.

It is not too late to join the fun, but time is running out. If you haven’t already registered, please send in your registration form now. The last payment is due by June 30th.

We are looking forward to catching up with all of you!

Love from the Kjellberg Families
