Old Business/New Business
Request that email and address changes be provided to Karl Schindler. It would be most helpful if we could give the executive officers feedback regarding the reading of the "roll call." For this reunion, we were asked to identify the original member's name (e.g., Selma, then Leslie Schneider, (2nd born if living and 3rd born), then Lois Wood and Daryl Schneider). Then ask if anyone is present from that family. If so, ask for a member of person present and record it on the roll sheet. Then ask them to introduce the persons present. If no one from that family is present, ask if anyone present can give news of the called family. We always need email and regular addresses. The other names are not called. Then go on to the next family. (The second born names are in italics, the 3rd born, grandchildren and underlined. Deseased members are in brackets [ ]). Hopefully this will help us keep families organized in our minds.

The reunion concluded as the family formed a friendship circle and sang "Blest Be the Tie That Binds." David Schindler offered the benediction.
