THE 25TH SCHROEDER REUNION - Pack your suntan lotion, find a recipe for a heavenly dessert, prepare your smiles and cameras and get ready for the 25th Schroeder reunion on Saturday, July 24th, 1999, to be held at Oxford Furnace Branch Lake in Oxford, New Jersey. Those who don't attend are sure to miss the finest event of the year (possibly of this millennium).

Plans are being finalized with a caterer, Flynn's, to make an appearance at this year's reunion. They will entice you with such things as appetizers from 12:00 to 1:00, chips, hamburgers, sausage, chicken, salads, and other picnic-style food from 1:00 to 4:00.

All attendees need to bring their own beverages and a dessert to share. And anyone wishing to enter their dessert into the yummy baked goods cooking contest may sign up upon arrival.

The tentative cost for all this fun and merriment is a mere $11 per adult and $5 per child. Although this price may change, it will not be a large change. All will be final in the next newsletter.

There may be some surprise guests in attendance, so don't miss out - BE THERE!!

RSVP for the reunion by July 1st to Kim - PLEASE!!

ENTERTAINMENT - The editor would also like to hear your opinions about what entertainment you would like at the reunion. A few ideas are: Bingo, Auction, Talent Show, Charades, or e-mail me with something else.
