BUSINESS DISCUSSED:
The meeting was started by discussing a date and venue for the reunion. It was suggested and voted on that we would rent the Vattman Hall for the entire weekend. It will accommodate all of the new activities that we are going to have. The scheduled date is April 16-18, 2010. Dianne Yaklin will be talking to Gwen about the dates and putting down a deposit for the hall.

APRIL 16, 2010:
We will kick-off the weekend with a golf tournament on Friday morning at 8am at the Falfurrias Golf Course. Annamarie and Jim are reserving the course for that day. It will cost $550.00. Jigger and Terry Yaklin will be in charge of the Golf Tournament. There will be a fish fry later that night at 5:30pm. We have asked Jimmy, Diane, Lee, Dennis and Harry to be in charge of the frying teams. The tartar sauce has been anonymously donated. We will be serving fries, hush puppies and Cole slaw as sides.
APRIL 17, 2010:
Saturday will consist of different fun activities for children and adults. We are looking for a responsible adult to be in charge of the skeet shoot. Katie has suggested that we look into doing a guitar hero contest also. So, if you or someone you know owns a guitar hero---please let us know! We are going to have games and moonwalks in the morning for the small children. We are going to have small swimming pools set up for after lunch for the children and we will also have an area designated for arts and crafts. We will have hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch on Saturday and supper will be BBQ that will be catered. There will be a memorial mass given at Our Lady of Consolation Church in Vattman in memory of all the Yaklins who have passed in the last 5 years. Jigger is going to talk to Father Ashe about saying the mass that evening. We will have a dance on Saturday night. Lee and Teresa are going to get prices on a live band versus a DJ. We will be hiring a TABC licensed bartender for each night. The church has a policy that we must abide by in order to rent the hall. Roy Yaklin is going to look into the pricing for hiring a bartender. We will also be hiring a security guard for Saturday night. It has been suggested that we invite the public to Saturday’s dance for a fee. The fee has not yet been decided on.
APRIL 18, 2010:
This will be our last day and we will begin the morning with a brunch. Following the brunch we will have our Famous Yaklin Auction!!! So, get your checkbooks ready!! J We are currently looking for someone to head this up. We also are looking for about 3 people to be in charge of registration. Margie Yaklin will have everything ready for this. All that would be required is for money to be collected and people to sign in under the appropriate family. We will have a sandwich buffet before everyone goes home that afternoon!
