Elton Horn & Earl Mensch made a motion to re-elect the officers for another year. The motion was unanimous.

The Mensch’s are in charge of organizing next year’s reunion – July 14, 2002.
Note. The reunion will be held on Sundays from now on instead of Saturdays due to the fact that some members work on Saturdays and cannot make the reunion. It was also decided that next year’s reunion’s theme will be “Tropical Island”. Betty Jane Hartzell was railroaded into contacting Nola Voucher to reserve the park for the next year / Mensch’s. Earl Mensch & Connie Mensch Crane seconded all of the above ideas / suggestions. Everyone said “aye” with the exception of Loring LaBarre who had to say “ney” to be different.
Earl Mensch suggestion that we use nametags for next year. Jackie Mensch Williams agreed to take care of this.

The meeting was adjourned.

The Blessing

Food:
Everyone enjoyed lots of good food including Raymond Hartzells, secret recipe chili.

Entertainment:
Angie Mensch Cyphers coordinated a peanut scramble for the kids, an ankle balloon-breaking contest that ended in a tie between Heather Williams & Michael Hartzell. Michael seemed to win but only after the game went on and on forever and finally got some help from his friends. There was also a volleyball game, horseshoes & of course bingo.
A good time was had by all in spite of a little mishap on the playground at the end of the day. It was reported that Michael Hartzell was doing just fine.
A discussion was held on July birthday. After much discussion and crushed feeling, I decided to eliminate the whole birthday discussion from the minutes of the meeting.

Respectfully Submitted by
Donna Mensch Smith
