Hi, I could participate on February 16th, but would prefer the 15th due to the travel distance and needing to get ready for work on the Sunday. I don't feel that I am the one to coordinate this. Depending on what gathering is decided, we may want to include my dad's sister and her kids, my mom's brother and daughters, my mom's cousins, and Susan & Bruce. Will this be a surprise for my dad, too? Could we rent a hall or community center and have everyone bring food? This may be the most economical option, unless someone has a large enough house. Thanks, Flora
