Letter #1 - Genesis

Hello all,

This letter is being sent to the following people: Henry and Dieni, Tom and Brenda, Cindy and Barb, Marlene, Chris, and Steve.

While on vacation this past January, Mary and I kept thinking how great it would be for our extended family to all get together for a vacation at some point. I have recently done more serious thinking about such a vacation. I initially had doubts that all or most of you would be sold on participating, but I am now confident that a few weeks from now, each of you will be excited about and committed to joining us for… The Great Gerryts Clan Vacation.

Already I am convinced that this will be an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience that will create some incredible, life-long memories. Over the next few weeks, I will be providing further information and encouragement by way of The Great Gerryts Clan Vacation Blog (http://gerryts.blogspot.com). On the blog is a very short 4-question survey that will provide me with some important information. Please take a minute to fill it out.

You are no doubt trying to guess what this experience I have in mind is. Here are a few hints:

1. This experience will be surprisingly affordable and accessible to everyone. Well, I guess not all that surprising now that I’ve told you.
2. This experience will not take place this year (nor last).

An e-mail notice will be sent when the blog is updated next. Stay tuned for more information!

Matt
