MINUTES OF NEWTON REUNION - 2021
Saturday,
July 31st, 2021 is a beautiful day.
20 hardy souls ventured out of the
Covid frightened world and happily joined together at the Newton reunion
in the Middle Falls Pavilion at Letchworth State park. What a blessing
to be back together again after not having the 2020 reunion.
We ate
chicken and beans and desserts and enjoyed it all. The 20 of us agreed
that this is only the beginning of rebuilding our Newton get together.
We will send notes and stay in touch and see our numbers grow.
The
minutes and finances were read and approved and then our Amanda Bressi
nominated Matthew Klimek for president and Dave Nemcek seconded it.
It
was approved unanimously. Audiel Bressi nominated Linda Pfannenschmidt
for secretary and her sister Aranae seconded it. It was also approved.
Matthew was very pleased to have Eric Bressi (son in law of the late
Ramon Greene)take on the job of public relations director for the Newton
group. You all will hear more about it as Eric creates videos and adds
to Matt's Newton Facebook page. Expect to hear more from Matthew, Linda
and Eric. We want to spread the news that we (the Newton reunion) are
open for business and we are welcoming you all to come back to
Letchworth the last Saturday in July of 2022!
Bob Pfannenschmidt passed the hat and collected $48.00. He then led an
auction and we added in $52.00 for a total contribution of $100.00. The
highest selling item went to Micah Bressi, binoculars for $11.00. Nancy
Austin who we happily welcomed back with Bob Kellogg got in the spirit
and generously raised our totals. Thanks to all, especially our patient
auctioneer Bob P ...it was fun!
Our group
was small and we visited and spent time sharing with each other as we
finished the yellow watermelon and apples and dip and nibbled great
cakes. We all reluctantly headed home after 4PM and vowed to be back
next year with more Newtons with us.
It was a really good day!
