Greetings Calkins Cousins from the Hansen SistersWe have been busy planning the 2024 Calkins Family Association Reunion that will be held in our hometown: Seattle, Washington in September 2024. The tentative dates are Thursday, September 12 through Monday, September 15.
We have chosen the South Lake Union area as the home base for the reunion. This is a central location for planned activities, as well as things you can do on your own. We hope you can stay some extra days to take advantage of the sights and fun things Seattle has to offer. Planned outings and activities include:
• A “meet and greet” with a booklet signing.
• Bus trip & lunch at Mercer Island’s Luther Burbank Park (past location of the C.C. Calkins's home)
• Lecture from the Mercer Island Historical Society
• Stories from the Calkins cousins
• The Museum of History and Industry
• The Center for Wooden Boats
• Our family banquet, auction, and raffle
• Pike’s Place Market, Aquarium, and the Seattle Waterfront
• Seattle Center (the site of the 1962 Century 21 World’s Fair)
• Boat tour – Lake Union & Lake Washington
We need to get an approximate count of reunion attendees so that we can calculate the reunion cost total. Right now, we are approximating the reunion cost at $250/person. We estimate the hotel cost to be $200-250 per night. Please respond ASAP, we can block rooms at the hotel 13 months out (August 2023) and lock in the price, but we need your preregistration ASAP.
Please send an email to Cathy Hansen at [email protected] or Judie at [email protected] or fill in this form, and mail it to: Cathy Hansen PO Box 3, Rochester, WA 98579. If you want us to hold a place for your family in the reunion plans and help the planners have a better count on who might be attending, please go to CalkinsWorld.org and use your credit card to preregister with a $25 preregistration deposit, this will be returned to you on or before July 1, 2024, if you decide not to come, or will be deducted for the final cost of the reunion once the cost is set. The cost depends on the attendee count and the outings and meals which will be included in the final cost.
