THE 107TH WING FAMILY REUNION SEASIDE, OREGON JUNE 19, 20, & 21, 2009 SPONSERED BY DISTRICT TWELVE PRINT OUT YOUR REUNION REGISTRATION FORMS In the mid-1800s, settlers traveled to Oregon with covered wagons via the Oregon Trail. The
2,000-mile trail started in Missouri and ended at Oregon City. Usually, the wagons were used
to store food and other supplies, while the settlers walked most of the trip. |
TILLAMOOK HEAD: Try to imagine the thoughts of Lewis and Clark’s men as they came across Tillamook Head on their hike searching for whale blubber. Captain William Clark, Sacagawea and a small group of the expedition’s men crossed the formidable headland in 1806 to buy blubber from Indians at Cannon Beach (8 miles from Seaside). At a viewpoint along the way, Clark said, “I behold the grandest and most pleasing prospect which my eyes ever surveyed.”

2219 E. 58th Court, Spokane, WA 99212 vorpahls@comcast.net (509) 448-2376 January 11, 2008 We invite you to discover the Pacific Northwest at our Wing Family of America Inc.’s 2009 Reunion, June 19-20, at Seaside, Oregon. There is a treasure trove of discoveries for you to experience. WFA’s District 12 is the land of the world-famous Red Delicious Apple and the world-famous spud, the Idaho Baker. It is where Starbucks first perked its now-world famous coffee drinks. It is where mountain peaks touch the sky and the sea slams onto the rocky coastline for spectacular splashes, or laps gently onto beaches of fine sand. It’s where Lewis and Clark finally reached the end of their trek, and was the destination for thousands of emigrants who rolled their wagons across the country in the 1800s. District 12 members are anxious to introduce you, our cousins, to a part of our nation you might not have seen before, or to take a second look at what has become common place to those who already live in God’s Country. Come “Discover” a new venture. Bev |
The reunion will be held at the Shilo Inn right on the boardwalk and overlooking the ocean.
