A Champlin family gathering · October 2026

Let's all get in one room again.

It's official. See you there.

It has been far too long. So here's the plan: one Saturday or Sunday in October, lunch or dinner, everybody at Cindy's on 34 in Mendota. Tap the days that work for you and we'll land on the one that works for the most of us.

The family has spoken. Details below, and there's a button to drop it straight onto your calendar so nobody can say they forgot.

Which weekend days work for you?

Tap every day you could make it. More than one is better. The bars show how many households have said yes to each day so far.

Count us in.

One answer per household is plenty. You can come back and change it any time from this same phone or computer.

You're on the list.

Thanks. Change anything and hit save again if plans shift.

Not sure yet? Pick the days that are probably fine. Nobody is holding you to it. The point is to find the day, not to get a signed contract.

One name for your household is fine.
