Schroeder Reunion - 1997 No 3 October 13, 1997

Vol. 1997 No. 3 October 13, 1997 SCHROEDER NEWSLETTER SCHROEDER NEWSLETTER SCHROEDER NEWSLETTER 23RD REUNION SUCCESS This year's reunion was as successful as ever, except we were missing something did anyone notice? We forgot to invite the RAIN ! ! The children had fun smacking the pinata - thank you, Jennifer, for supplying the pinata. There was a bubble gum blowing contest, but no report on who won Joan forgets. Karl reports that Bingo worked out great with a lot of prizes that everyone brought, however, he recommends that next year someone bring tape for Bill's mouth to stay shut - apparently he bugged Karl too much. TREASURER'S REPORT Peggy reports that before the 23rd reunion there was $58 in the treasury. $37 was added to that from the 50/50 at the reunion for a total of $95. Jennifer was reimbursed $92 for mailing expenses for the past year's newsletters, and Peggy was reimbursed $3 for the roll of 50/50 chances. Therefore, we are broke, folks. This may be the last newsletter - how can I send it out without money7 Well, I know Jennifer did, but she shouldn't have had to. At past reunions $1 was collected from everyone who is on the mailing list as a contribution towards their newsletter postage - that doesn't even include paper, envelopes, and copying. We have forgotten to collect this dollar the past two reunions, thereby creating this debit. This dollar would only cover three newsletters a year, which I guess is adequate and gets me off the hook from having to do more. So I guess what I'm asking is if anyone would like to contribute a measly dollar towards receiving their newsletter, I would very much appreciate it. 24TH REUNION SCHEDULED MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW !!

They hope to move closer to Bethesda It's usually over an hour drive for Dan to get to and from work. Dan is in another play this fall. This time he is playing six different characters in the play Voice of the Prairie. LETTER FROM THE EDITOR I volunteered for this position for two reasons. One, I like to hear all the family news and keep in touch, and, two, I have a computer. Recently I have been diagnosed with carpel tunnel syndrome, which is pain in my right wrist caused from typing too much. It is not too painful, although I understand if it gets worse it can be. I wear a brace on my wrist when I type now to prevent it from getting worse. It's not bad enough that I can quit work - darn. i do an enormous amount of typing for my job as a court reporter. I go to hearings two days a week and type on my lap-top during the hearings, and then I type the transcripts at home. I love my job, it has great flexibility, because I am an independent contractor and I can pick when I want to work. However, I still find it difficult to balance job, motherhood, and taking care of a house, (as well as trying to sell it right now). It's a busy life we all lead, but I try to remind myself to take time out to smell the flowers and hug my kids. Creating this newsletter also gives me a chance to think about all you wonderful people and send my love.
