SAVE THE DATE FIRST WEEKEND IN AUGUST 2014

Bob and Jerry Dethlefs have agreed to host the 2014 Peterson Family Reunion in Bend, Oregon. Get out your maps, add the dates to your Smartphones, Blackberries, Androids, and IPods. Note it in Outlook. Put a sticky note on the refrigerator.
See you then.

I'm not sure how many of the Peterson clan actually read this blog but for those of you who do and if you also have Facebook, I have started a group for the Family called the Anton Peterson Family. It is to so we can stay connected and exchange ideas, family info and such but also to ask the question: Do we want to have another reunion and if so, who will step up to host it and where will it be?

The reunion in Bend was very nice. Jerry and Cindy were fantastic hosts it was a beautiful area but unfortunately only about 30 family members came and at the end no one volunteered to host the next reunion so whether we have another one is up in the air.

I volunteered to set up the FB page so we could get more family members involved to see if we want to have another reunion and what we can do to get more participation. Do we need to have it at a different time? Families with children may have school starting in August, when would be a better time? Costs and travel are always a consideration so should we continue to have it rotate from the West to the East or find somewhere inbetween? Even young families take vacations what should we be looking for in a venue to make it more appealing to younger family members?

These are just some of the questions I have come up with but I can't answer them on my own so if you are on FB and know a family member who is on FB and apart of the group ask them to "friend" you into the group or send me the request so you can be included. Yes, we might not know each other but we are family and we are a great family! I hope we don't drift apart. Love to you all.
