Twentyth Annual Schroeder Reunion

VOLUME II

JUNE 1993

Reunion: August 14

The SCHROEDER FAMILY REUNION is still set for the second Saturday in August, that being the 14th. And luckily this year there won't be any conflict with the CHB reunion, so we should have a lot of happy campers.

Due to the overwhelming response to the reunion activity ideas, the activities committee has had to make some tough decisions as to what ideas to keep and what ideas not to use this year. Of course, there is nothing set in stone but the preliminary lineup looks something like this:

    12:00pm      Set up, greetings, drinks, etc.
    1 00pm      Swimming, visiting, drinks. etc.
    2:00pm      White elephant auction - bring [AUG 14 SAT] a small white elephant gift or two (wrapped please) with an indication of who the gift is appropriate for, i.e. young boy, female, husband, etc. These will then be auctioned off with the proceeds going to the 50/50 drawing.*
    3:00pm      Door Prizes awarded!*
    3:30pm      Q&A Game (tentatively).*
    4:00pm      Kids stuff, more swimming, drinks, volleyball, etc.
    5:00pm      Dinner and drinks. 50/50 drawing.
    5:30pm      Talent show for those 16 and younger. So kids brush up on those Barney songs and Lamb Chop jokes.*
    6:00pm      More drinks and picture taking.
*Drinks will be served during these events as well.

If anyone has additional ideas, questions, comments please feel free to write, fax, phone them over to me. Activity assignments will be handed out in the next newsletter.

Karl & Jean Celebrate 40 years together!!

[SCHROEDER 10] There've been 40 years of marriage bliss,

All started with a single kiss.

Through times of joy and sorrow too,

They loved each other through and through.

You could see it as they danced their dance,

Through a simple gesture, or simple glance.

Our wish for them is many more,

As least as happy as those before.

David Schroeder can't seem to decide between two, who should be so lucky? And Uncle Bill, you're still single, are't you?
Schroeder Hints
[FISH] If you own a freshwater fishtank,instead of throwing p out the water when cleaning, use it to water the plants. It's a great fertilizer.
Getting tinted lenses in your glasses can cover a multitude of "sins," not to mention wrinkles.
You can keep track of the age of spices by marking the date of purchase on a strip of masking tape and sticking it to the bottom of the container. .

"Wisdom"
Marriage:
The happy state which resembles a pair of shears; so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them.

Happy Birthday 2U!
