Unexpected changes for a few.

Only a few days left. I hope you all are as excited as I am.
A few of us have had unexpected changes of plan and will not be able to join us.
Sad, because without their commitment, this reunion may not have happened.
We will miss all of our family that can't join us.
For everyone else, I'll see you in a few days.

Rain or shine, the picnic goes on.

Saturday Night Dinner ...

... will be at Roma Pizza Pottsville, 6:30/7:00 PM.

It is only a few short blocks from our hotel. Easy walk for those that would wish to do so.

Family Tree Book

As you all know, I have been working on a Family Tree Book for our Shimsky family. 

My plan was to have it ready for the reunion, but I will need more time. 

At our reunion I hope to record many family stories and take many photos,

 so I will incorporate those into the the book. 

The book will be viewable online and in traditional book form. 

I know this is a disappointment, 

but I am doing due diligence in making sure all my information is correct. 

Thank you for your understanding. 

💜 Susan

P.S.- I can't wait to see everyone next week.
Don't forget to bring lawn chairs (I will bring extra)
and closed shoes, if you decide to go to Yuengling or the Pioneer Coalmine Tunnel. 

See you in 2 weeks!

I can't believe that two weeks from today, our Shimsky Family Reunion will be almost over, but let me digress. Why worry about good bye when we have not yet said hello?
I can't wait to come together and hear the stories of our elders, make new memories, and share the love of family.

Unless there are any last minute changes, this is who is attending at least part of the reunion
and who may attend, with a question mark (?).

Susan Ledford
Marianne Blumenberg & Brian
Pearl DiSabatino & Richard + 1
Jerilyn & Jerry Nardella + son?
Michelle & husband + son?
Laurie & Jack Sears
Nick & Margit Anne Shimsky
Dan & Sylvia Shimski
Melvin & Judy Cooper + 2 granddaughters?
Nadine Minnichback ?
Christine & John Emel
Charmaine Colosimo
Nancy Gulbrandsen ?

Living in Minersville is Carol Shimsky, the wife of John Shimsky 3rd. Hopefully we will see her and a child or two. Her children are Meghan, Tyler & CJ and  2 of the 3 live in North Carolina.
Pauline Shimsky Gulas lives about 1 1/2 hours north of Pottsville.
Her son Ken, & Janet, live close, but I have not had contact, though I have left messages.
Nadine Catherine Smith, from what I understand, now lives in Colorado. I have left messages with no reply.
I hope everyone else was found and notified. A few relations were exciting about the reunion, but attending plans fell through or they had other plans for this weekend. Then there are those that live too far away. We will miss all those that will not be joining us.
