Details on the second Arthur and Elsie Schleicher Family reunion - July 27th thru 29th

Having the reunion in McIntosh gives us an opportunity to connect to our roots – to be together where Arthur and Elsie first lived – where our family started.

This connection to our roots also helped us determine some of the activities for the weekend.

• Have you made lefsa, or cranked the handle for home made ice cream?
• Do you know the most popular yard game that was played after holiday dinners?

There’ll be yard games and fun in the city park. We’ll also visit the family farm and see the first house Arthur and Elsie lived in. And, we have a surprise for you when it’s time to stretch!

Let the fun begin!

• Friday – anytime after 3 p.m.
  Come to the community center on Main Street (grey building on the corner with a clock….that will probably not show the right time). There’ll be "hotdish" for supper, and plans for the weekend will be discussed.


• Saturday – come for breakfast, stay all day
  Start the day with a warm breakfast (pancakes, sausages, fruit, etc.) and save room for a run to the bakery for a twist. Later, you can help make specialties such as homemade ice cream and lefsa. Saturday evening we’ll provide the salads and the grill – you bring your own meat. The local meat market has an excellent selection of meats, or bring yours with you from home. You must make your selection early in the day (they close at 2 p.m.) and your family grill hero can cook it to your taste on the grill in the evening.


• Sunday – meet at 9 a.m. for church
  Breakfast on your own, attend service at the church where Art and Elsie were members – where Lloyd and Gladys and Roy and Adelle are currently members. We will double the regular attendance, maybe sing a song or two and enjoy visiting at coffee after the service. Our noon meal will be catered and served at the Community Center.
  

The response from people who will be attending the reunion is exciting!

It’s great to have many coming now who couldn’t come three years ago.

We look forward to seeing you in Mac July 27–29.
