These FAQs cover some of the questions we have been asked through e-mail and Facebook.
What is the Blanchette Family Reunion 2014?
The Blanchette Family Reunion 2014
is an opportunity to connect with family members and share good food, fun
times, and fond memories.
2. When is the reunion? And where?
The reunion is August 9 and 10,
2014, and will be held at the Eagle Lake Elementary School in Eagle Lake, ME.
3. How do I register for the reunion?
You can register online at
blanchette.cma2014.com. Please do not
put a “www” or “http” in front of the web address- that is the actual web
address.
Once on the website, select
REGISTRATION. You can fill out the form
directly on the website. In order to
submit the form, you must click “Check Calculation” at the bottom. After you click this, a SEND button will
appear.
You may also print out a copy of
the registration and mail it in along with the check.
Please include your e-mail address
on your check so that we can confirm that we received it.
4. My mother/sister/cousin/great-aunt’s
brother’s cousin doesn’t have internet access.
What can we do?
If you know of relatives who do not
have internet access or are not comfortable using the internet, please help
them out by printing a copy of the registration for them.
You can also call us directly at
908-472-8657 to request that a copy be mailed to you. If you reach voicemail, please leave your
name, number, and mailing address. You
may also e-mail us at blanchettefamilyreunion@gmail.com.
5. Are you providing overnight accommodations? Where can we stay?
No, we are not providing overnight
accommodations. Every reunion attendee
is responsible for finding their own overnight accommodations.
We have two blog posts addressing
this- “Logistics” and “Lodging Part Deux.”
Please refer to these posts to find ideas for accommodations. You may also wish to look for a camp/cabin
rental through a rental website such as www.vrbo.com.
We do recommend booking
accommodations soon, as the hotels and motels in the region are filling up.
Please note that there will be no
overnight accommodations available at the Blanchette camp in Winterville.
6. What will the meals be like? Is it potluck- can I bring something? Will there be a cash bar or open bar?
Our meals (Saturday supper and
Sunday lunch) are being provided by a caterer.
This is not a potluck event.
You are welcome to bring your own
non-alcoholic beverages- coffee, iced tea, lemonade, and water will be served
with meals.
Because our reunion is taking place
at an elementary school, there will no alcohol allowed on the premises.
7. What IS a Blanchette?
A Blanchette is a descendant of
Pierre Blanchette, who came to North America in the 1650s from France.
Secondary definition: a human being
(often pale in nature) with a fondness for sarcastic wit.
8. Where can I get more information?
You can visit our multitude of
websites and social media!
