We will be having our 50 year celebration of the forming of the American Bashkir Curly Registry in the beautiful city of Reno, Nevada this year. The end of July, the 30, 31st and August 1 are the dates set aside for this historical meeting of the Registry's members. Our tentative agenda will include a Meet and Greet at the home of our ABC President Joan Olson, on Thursday evening for whom ever arrives in Reno that night and will be attending the convention. Enjoy the beautiful view of a golf course while eating barbeque, and after, have some refreshments by the fire pit. Please rsvp on attending the Thursday Meet and Greet so we can get a head count for the food needed. You can email me at jo_curlies@hotmail.com with that information or call her cell at 920-255-0326.
