Just A Reminder!!

T O D A Y is the day! It’s time to get those RSVPs in (if you haven’t already) or you’ll have to take it up with Bev! So consider this your warning!



Like we said before we’re just looking for a head count!

Just a reminder on the many easy ways to RSVP:

1) The easiest and quickest way - reply to this message!

2) On the blog - you can also pay through PayPal on here too (if you want) 

3) The Pony Express - a very efficient way but a little bit more effort needed.. and time.

To make sure you’re entered in the GRAND PRIZE DRAWING if you’re mailing your RSVP today, shoot me a quick message letting me know the check is really in the mail (I'll be checking those postmarks! hahaha). The cut off for the prize is today! You don’t want to miss out on winning this sweet, one of a kind prize! 

We look forward to harassing... I mean hearing from you soon!

The Early Bird Gets The Worm

The location has been selected. The date has been set. The invites have gone out. Now we just need YOU!


I can't believe the Reunion is in only 53 days!!!! It's amazing how there's so many different components that go into planning these reunions. Surprisingly, there's a little more to it than showing up on the right day. That being said, let us worry about all the planning and you worry about just showing up on the right day... the only thing we ask is that you RSVP! :)

The RSVP's aren't just a thing we like to harass you about for our entertainment (we do have other things to do). We really want to know if you're coming. And it's not just because we're nosey.  Having even a semi-accurate headcount of how many people plan to attend helps with more than a dozen different aspects of the reunion. So if you are planning on coming, please please please take the five seconds to fill out the RSVP form to let us know. Please. There's about half a dozen different ways you can RSVP and the commitment isn't monetary. If your plans change don't worry about it, just let us know!


Now that we've got that out of the way, on to the good stuff...


For an extra incentive we've decided to do some giveaway drawings!

GRAND PRIZE DRAWING
If you RVSP AND pay ahead of time before JUNE 10th:
    Top tier drawing! The best Schuster Relative Award goes to you! The best of the best. The cream of the crop! Possible cash prize! Exclusive family merchandise!


AVERAGE JOE PRIZE DRAWING
If you RSVP by JUNE 10th but pay at reunion:
    You're doing great! You're not as great as the others who've gone above and beyond by paying ahead of time, but you're better than the possible reunion crashers.


PROCRASTINATOR PRIZE DRAWING
If you RSVP AFTER JUNE 10th:
    Hey you're still good. But we still did have to harass you to get that RSVP


FREE LOADING RELATIVE DRAWING
If you crash the reunion:
    You won't be entered to win anything because you'll be lucky to be fed.


BONUS ENTRY
Send your recipes in to get your name entered twice!


Raffle will be held the first day of the reunion. Need not be present to win, but it's recommended.


May the odds ever be in your favor.


Get those RSVPs in!

How Would Grandma Make It?



“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”
― George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman



Have you had that craving for Grandma's jello salad but the next family get together was still months away? Well before you grab your car keys and make a spontaneous road trip to Chokio, we've come up with a solution: a cook book! Now, we know that it will never ever taste as good as Grandma's because it won't be made with as much love, but wouldn't it be nice to have a book for all of those delicious and beloved family recipes?



Worried about what to send in? Well don't!

The best family recipe books are compiled of every and all recipes. No recipe is too obvious to submit (well, I guess just ‘how to make ice', let's skip that one). If you're hesitating on a recipe because you think someone else is going to send it in, they're probably thinking the same thing. So you might as well send it! I don’t mind getting duplicates. Don’t worry you’ll both get credit for them!

And as our family keeps growing, we also need to be adding new family recipes. Don’t feel like you’re limited to just current family recipes. Feel free to add as many of your new favorites.

With how crazy life can get, if it makes it easier for you feel free to send me a photo of the recipes!
