Friesen Sisters Family Reunion

Hi,
This is Cleo Howe, the daughter of the third sister, Vi and I am  leading the organizing committees for the Friesen Sisters Reunion. I thought you might like to know that we have a venue set up for the reunion so everything is shaping up nicely. I also thought it would be awesome to post photos and family history for everyone before we get together.  I do have some old photos that I can access but thought I would start with this one. Yes, they used chewing gum to plug holes in the radiator.

From left to right: Noreen, Lee (the cute one) Vi and Helen.

This handsome couple below is Agatha and Henry Friesen, the proud parents and owners of that fancy car.

They had 4 daughters and one son who died in infancy.

I hope to post somewhat regularly but would like to know what you think.  Would you like to see photos of other family? What would interest you about the Friesen family and their children? Let me know!! Comment below or e-mail us at friesenreunion@gmail.com.

Before I sign off I have to say a big thank you to my nephew, Aaron Fitchett, for setting up the Friesen Sisters Family Reunion Blog and entering the first post. You are awesome Aaron, thank you!!

Happy New Year Everyone - wishing you a wonderful 2011 filled with fun, laughter, love and family!
Cleo

Getting in Touch/Staying in Touch

The weekend of July 29, 2011 is only eight short months away and the first thing we need to do is get ourselves organized in terms of communication. Since not all of our family uses facebook, we thought starting this blog would be a quick and easy way to send messages out to all of us Friesen Sister descendants! A good first step for each of us will be too add this URL as a bookmark: http://friesenfamilyreunion.blogspot.com/

An excellent second step will be to add the following email address to your contacts list so that it isn't blocked through your email spam filter: friesenreunion@gmail.com

Why not send an email of introduction to that email address? That way we know you're in the loop and we can also add you to our contacts in order to send future updates directly to you!
How are you feeling about the upcoming reunion? Excited? Nervous? Starting a new diet? (kidding!) Whatever you're feeling, the best way to ensure you know the latest news about the reunion is to keep checking on this blog and to stay in touch! :)
