Tomorrow, 416 post cards will be mailed.<br /><br />I received 49 error messages from the e-mails and expect at least an equal number of returned post cards. This is because we have made little formal effort to undate the clan database since 2005.<br /><br />We really, really, need to have current and correct information for our clan. It's a terrific waste of time and MONEY to try to contact people when we have outdated information.<br /><br />IF YOU HAVE MOVED OR CHANGED <em>YOUR SNAIL MAIL OR EMAIL ADDRESS</em> IN THE PAST THREE YEARS, PLEASE E-MAIL <a href="mailto:MKINNEY@BELLSOUTH.NET">MKINNEY@BELLSOUTH.NET</a> WITH YOUR CURRENT CONTACT INFORMATION.<br /><br />Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!<br /><br />Molly Sheaffer Kinney<br />Clan President<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1350294215581461887-3339101553943789103?l=mccahanstalking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Molly Kinneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14169371219527377874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350294215581461887.post-91674024130899637412008-06-16T17:01:00.000-07:002008-06-16T17:04:35.182-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XXBAUJwUWOU/SFb_PONOqeI/AAAAAAAAAA0/85WLt_I9yNY/s1600-h/Picture1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212634255704631778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XXBAUJwUWOU/SFb_PONOqeI/AAAAAAAAAA0/85WLt_I9yNY/s320/Picture1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">Descendents of<br />Patrick and Jane Greene McCahan<br />Family Reunion<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">Saturday, July 26, 2008<br />12:00 noon<br />at the McAlisterville Community Park</span><br /><br /><em>Please bring a covered dish,<br />table settings and drinks for your family,<br />and a silent auction item.<br /></em><br /><strong>Spread the word and hope to see you there!</strong></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1350294215581461887-9167402413089963741?l=mccahanstalking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Molly Kinneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14169371219527377874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350294215581461887.post-84505873387791221802008-06-16T16:57:00.000-07:002008-06-16T16:58:27.453-07:00I recently learned that our Treasurer, Furm McClure, had heart surgery.<br />Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1350294215581461887-8450587338779122180?l=mccahanstalking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Molly Kinneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14169371219527377874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350294215581461887.post-60961424875869776612007-09-10T12:23:00.000-07:002007-09-10T12:30:15.279-07:00Hi to everyone from Minnesota!

I realize this is a new experience for most of us and it's so easy to just go with what we 'know' and send an e-mail rather than comment on the blog. But when you send an e-mail message it reaches one person....me. Why not let the whole clan read your thoughts? YOU can either leave a comment on one of the posts, or better yet, become an author and make your own posts. I promise you it's not difficult or time consuming.<br /><br />Come on, you can do it....really you can!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1350294215581461887-5775720720222225506?l=mccahanstalking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Molly Kinneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14169371219527377874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350294215581461887.post-44347967827960267892007-09-02T19:40:00.000-07:002007-09-02T19:44:44.857-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XXBAUJwUWOU/Rtt0z-d8b9I/AAAAAAAAAAc/oA5mJOG9N0o/s1600-h/furm.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5105803038845333458" style="DISPLAY: block;
