Shattuck Family Reunion 2011 - Part I

WOW, what an wonderful time we all had at this year's 2011 Shattuck Family Reunion!!!  All the living children of George & Edna Shattuck were there:  Donna, Mac, Norman, Lee, Cecil, Georgie, Florence, Marian, Coreen, Myrtle & Evelyn!  We were so thankful all of their children could be there, along with many and many of their families as well.  This year we had something brand NEW--the Hill Billy Limo : )  This was driven by Aunt Georgie's great-grandson, Kyler.  He brought this for the kids to enjoy, but as you can see, EVERYONE enjoyed it!  He spent hours and hours driving that thing around, and we are so thankful he shared it with us!  Of course we enjoyed some of our normal things too...evening chit chat and singing around the bon-fire, snacks for the kids at midnight, BINGO w/ LOTS of prizes, pop corn from the pop corn man (Ed Shirely), a gospel sing, Sunday morning family worship service, ball tournaments, euchre tournament, crafts, the family auction, etc. etc.  Each year we all look forward to this fun-filled event, we are SO blessed to be a part of this family!  Thanks to everyone that took part in this year's reunion, we are truly thankful for everyone's participation!!  Here are a few pictures to get us started, but PLEASE share your pictures with me by sending them to me so we can get a variety of them on here.  Email them to me at:   jjtkkcooper@ffni.com.

Need to ask for family volunteers to help with designated areas of campground for cleanup. This will prevent the Aunts and Uncles and leaders from having to do the cleanup. And prevent the camp from raising our fees even higher.

2011 Family Reunion Newsletter

July 2011

Dear Family Members,

Greetings Everyone! The 2011 Shattuck Family Reunion is fast approaching, Friday Sept.2nd through Monday, Sept. 5th this year. The reunion will again be held at the Carson City Christian Campground, 5941 S. Mount Hope Road, Carson City, MI. 48811.

Here are some recommended items to bring: 
**Bring your family, food and come join in on some fun!
**Items for the auction-homemade preferred. Helps support camping expenses.
**Bats, balls and gloves for family softball game.
**Music, instruments, CD’s/tapes for gospel sing and Sunday Service.


--Please, follow campground rules. They are posted by campground in pavilion.

--Upon Arrival Please Register with Ruth Nixon. Please find her ASAP.

--The youth dorm will again be monitored by Melody and Brian Bennett who continue to do an outstanding job!!!
Please sign up youth at youth dorm with Melody and Brian. Do not allow your children to stay in youth dorm unless you have signed them up. Also understand that during the day it is still the parent’s responsibility for their children’s care.

--We Do Not have a preteen dorm for the younger group. If you would like to help with this group please contact Stan Petty at 765-425-2307.

--No rate increase again this year for rooms or camp sites. $10 a night for campers or tents with electric & water sites: $20 a night for water/electric/sewer camp sites: $10 a night per room for the quiet dormitory. We will continue to try and keep these low rates as long as we do well with the offering and the family auction. There is no charge for the youth dorm as long as at least one family member stays in a paid area. A $5 per night fee will apply if no parent or guardian is staying on the grounds.

--The cost for the exclusive use of the campground from Friday evening through Monday is $1,800 again this year. The room and camp site fees cover about ½ of this expense. Of course there are other expenses liability Insurance, paper products, postage and printing of this letter. So again, we are looking for your participation in the auction and offering to cover the remaining costs.

--We are asking that everyone help with cleanup of campgrounds. We are going to ask for volunteers for cleanup of specific areas.

Any topics you want addressed at the family meeting submit in writing and give to current elected officer; 
Stan Petty or Dawn Albring.

Thank You for your support. Come expecting a great time of fun and fellowship!

Introducing...Lillyana Jean Lowery



We would like to introduce you to a beautiful, little gal named, Lillyana Jean Lowery.  She is the first born of Jackie Lowery, which is the daughter of Eugene & Jean (Shattuck) Lowery.  Jean is the daughter of Uncle Melvin & Aunt Joyce.  She was born on Monday, March 21st @ 10:02a.m @ Memorial Medical Center, via c-section.  She entered this world weighing in at, 7lbs. 4ozs. and was 20 1/4" long.  This makes grandchild #5 for Jean & Eugene and #25 for Joyce & Melvin.  Her Mommy and her are doing well and can't wait to meet you all at the family reunion : )

Grand Homecoming for Colton

The moment that we've all been waiting for...baby Colton has finally been released from the hospital and is home with his VERY happy parents!  This little guy has sure been a trooper, after being in the hospital for 5 1/2 months and having 10 surgeries, he is doing better!  I know Rachelle & Larry thanks everyone for their kind words, their encouragement/support and their many prayers!  We serve an awesome God and are thanking Him for his healing touch on the little life of baby Colton!
