2007 Reunion

Once again, our 2007 reunion was simply great! The facilities at the Wimberley Community Center have to be the most comfortable and convenient that we have ever had the joy of experiencing. We had 116 attendees, the Silent Auction did extremely well (again), genuine German band music, and as always, outstanding food. Given how much everyone enjoys the home cooked dishes that are brought by each family, we will continue that tradition with more potluck next year as well......

Dale Schultz brought back the wonderful background music of a genuine German band recorded live. Since we enjoyed our experience at the new Wimberley Community Center so much, we will be reunioning there once more in 2008. We could not ask for better facilities overall (probably the best we have ever had!), and it proved to be central enough to accommodate Wolles coming from all over Texas (and even a few outside the state). Many, many thanks to Terri Tuttle and her mother Carolyn for their superb efforts as Co-Coordinators for the last two years. For 2008, we will have cousins Melton Schultz and Loretta Snider volunteering as CoCoordinators. They will have some very large shoes to fill...but we know they can do it! We're grateful and appreciative for the volunteer service...

Financially, the Wimberley facility rent was already paid in advance, $530 carried over from 2006 and $350 of that amount was spent on 2007 expenses (postage, paper goods, invitations, drinks, door prizes). We received $350 from our Silent Auction, $420 from contributions to the hat, and then there is the remaining $180 carryover from 2006. This gives us a $950 cash balance going into 2008, with a forecast of about $650-700 in expenses for the 2008 reunion.

Special thanks are extended to several: Barbara Wolle for keeping the genealogy updates; Buddy Kralik for keeping us connected via email; and Dale Schultz for keeping our addresses straight and the wonderful music! Many special thanks to every single family member who brought food (the buffet was yet another memorable one) and to all those who brought items for the Silent Auction. Many thanks and see y'all next year!
