2010 - The Seventy-Ninth Annual Newton Family Reunion

 What perfect weather for our Seventy-Ninth annual reunion, 78 degrees, low humidity and, clear; great reunion weather.
Forty two of us met at the Eddy's Pavilion, the group was small but, the spirit was big.
At 12:30 we ate a delicious meal and had a great time visiting; we are a sociable bunch.

Everyone had fun looking over the photos that Linda B. brought in from Ginny's.
Matt will scan them into his computer and post them online for all to enjoy.
He will bring the originals back next year.

After we ate, we had our business meeting,
Matthew Klimek and Linda Pfannenschmidt ran unopposed for President and Secretary.
A motion was made and approved to rent the pavilion for 1/2 day 10AM-3PM next year. It worked very well this year.




A motion was made by Linda Beardsley that we no longer provide the meat dish at the reunion since there is so much else to eat. Anyone that wants meat can bring it and cook it up. It was approved.
Linda Pfannenschmidt said they would supply the charcoal and fluid so who ever brings meat can prepare it.
Food sure is an important part of the get-together.

We had a small auction which netted $9.00. With the pass the hat total, we now have $78.00 toward next year. That should cover the 1/2 day pavilion, the mailing and, the charcoal. 





We all visited more, munched watermelon and finally said: 
Bye for now, See you in 2011!
Lets pack a lot of folks in!
