Just a few pictures from our family dinner tonight. More to come. We loved seeing everyone and fellowshipping together. The youth did an amazing job!

We had a wonderful kickoff to the family reunion yesterday. Things got a little competitive with family bingo. Can’t wait to see everyone for dinner tonight.

Hi Family,

As we gear up for the reunion this weekend, we want to touch base on a few things. If you're staying at the Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, they will provide you shuttle service to the hotel from the airport. They cannot guarantee that they will be there right away, as their schedule depends on how many arrivals they have to pick up. If you'd like them to grab you from the airport, you will need to personally call them and arrange a pick up. Here's their information:

Address: 2221 Killebrew Dr, Bloomington, MN 55425
Phone: (612) 255-0555

The hotel also provides complimentary breakfast every morning.

You will find the reunion schedule for the weekend in the image below. Registration/Check-in begins Friday, August 4 from 5-7pm in the hotel lobby. We will give you a paper copy of the schedule, your souvenir bags, and answer any questions you have about the weekend. We look forward to hosting you.

Dear Family,

We can't wait to see you this Friday, August 4th. The family reunion booklets are going to print this week, but we want to make sure we're not missing anything. If you have any announcements between 2019-current that you'd like us to include in the booklet, please send them to us no later than Tuesday, August 1st.

You can message us on Facebook or email us at [email protected] .

Announcements include: weddings, anniversaries, graduations, births, celebrations of life, and anything else you want us to celebrate.

See you soon.
