Redus/Arnold Family Reunion

Jen Perren passes along the following family reunion note:

Redus/Arnold Reunion

The Redus/Arnold family reunion will be held on Saturday June 16, 2007 at New Home church at Tucker, Mo. Festivities will begin at 10:00am and last as long as you wish to stay. We will have lots of food, fun, games and reminiscing.

Bring a dish to pass and your own table service. We will set up to eat outside but we also have the air conditioned room inside. We will be grilling hot dogs, hamburgers and Wisconsin brats.

For fun, we have horse shoes, Board games, volley ball, badminton, hopscotch, marbles and maybe "Annie Over." Whatever game you wish to bring or play we are all for it. This is a day to have fun as a family, and fun we will have.

For reminiscing, bring a few of your old favorite family pictures that you think might be interesting to everyone. We won’t bring every picture we have or we’d need a whole week.

Bring your children, grand children and great grand children! Invite friends of the family too. Let’s continue the Redus/Arnold tradition and make it an event old and young alike look forward to attending.

Thanks Jen. Hope to see some of the older family members photos posted to the net. We will be glad to host them here on the blog.
