2011 Reunion Wrap-up
Greetings!
It was great to see everyone this year. For those of you who couldn’t make it…we missed you! Thanks to all who helped–setting up the room–thanks sis, Linda Krogwold, and Mallak cousins. Thanks, Nick Vetter, for your Pub Crawl and for the Bus Tour! Thanks to Cheryl Vetter Ustipak who did the booklet update. If you were unable to attend or didn’t get a copy I will email the file in another separate email.
Thanks also, Mary Alvey, for the use of your Lap-top and the set-up of the slide show! Anne and Sean Gregg–the T-shirts again were great! And a special thanks to my Mom-Cora (Gruny)Gianoli who made 80 banana nut muffins for the hospitality Room!!!
I think everyone agreed it was fun to have the reunion in a different venue for a change. Minneapolis is a beautiful city! Here are some items of interest:
- Auction: This year we made $786.00-our most of any years! Thank you everyone. Not all the bills are in yet-but it looks like we may have about $100 surplus. Thanks to everyone who brought items and bid on them! Thanks Little Jo Hernandez for being a great new Auctioneer–and those ladies on the sofa, Linda, Kay, and Julie for computing it all.
- Pictures: Please send all your pictures to Mary Alvey at mb_alvey@yahoo.com (There is an underscore between mb and alvey).Mary will post them on the Gottung Website so all can look at them there. We’ll try to get pictures on there for the 2009 reunion, too!
- List of Attendees: There were a few mistakes on the list that I’ve discovered. If there are any you see please do send to me so I can correct and we have the right info. I hope to eventually make a master list of all those who have attended and are part of the Gottung Clan.
- Evaluations: For those who attended this year and for those who did not–please fill out the attached Evaluation and send to me or just make some comments in a reply email. For 2013-we need a committee to work on the reunion. A number of folks have been talking about Portland for 2013 where Mary Alvey and Kay Heiney and families live. What do you think? You can mail the evaluation too-to my address: Sandy Smith 3604 Aspen Dr. West Des Moines, IA 50265
Thanks everyone…be in touch!
