- facility rental
Costs will be kept to a minimum, any donations or foodstuffs,etc will be greatly appreciated and acknowledged. Bank account will be set up to
facilitate pre-payment, process payment to providers and retain any excess funds remaining.
I would like to impress one point though. I fell that if possible, the majority of the work should be carried on the backs of the 2nd and 3rd generation family members.
The 1st generation can and will be asked to provide assistance. However, I think that the 1st generation Wuschenny family children and if applicable, their children can be called upon to make this a succesful event. The best way to summarize it will be
"for those can come please do, you will have fun"
