It is almost 85 degrees and quite warm but, what a great day.
Matt Klimek cooked delicious hotdogs, Chuck Newton opened with prayer, we all lined up , piled our plates and dug in. Again, we proved to be great cooks as the food was delicious.
When we had eaten, Bob Pfannenschmidt played candy and coin toss with the children; there was lots of scrambling and laughing.
Linda Pfannenschmidt stood on a bench and conducted a business meeting.
The minutes were read and the balance in the Treasury was $0.00. No problem, the hat was passed and $120.25 was collected. We decided to again have Matt try to get the Middle Falls Pavilion, the usage fee is $70.00.
Linda Beardsley Brandt made a motion that we keep the same officers- Matt Klimek president and, Linda & Bob Pfannenschmidt as assistants; the motion was seconded. It's unanimous! We will do it for another year.
Bob Pfannenschmidt handled the auction. Thanks to all who contributed, we netted $66.50 and every child present was given a toy, It good to see excited children at the reunion!

Presidents statement:
It was a very nice reunion, I enjoyed visiting and talking with the family.
After leaving Letchworth State Park with my mom Linda & Bob, we went to Stony Brook State Park to take advantage of the cold water for a refreshing afternoon swim.
As we were traveling toward Endicott, we observed darkening skies as lightning streaked through the air with brilliance. We arrived at Mom & Bob's house, only to notice that there was a layer of hail stones on the ground and, there was no electricity. I started to walk around the house and saw a rather large tree had fallen in the backyard, there was some dammage but, the house had been sparred.

Such a good time at the reunion!
Such a surprise to see what the storm did while traveling home from the reunion!!
