MINUTES OF THE 2010 CLAN DICKEY FAMILY REUNION
The 2010 Clan Dickey Family Reunion was held Sunday, June 27, 20010, at Schultz Park in Pawnee with some 47 family members and guests in attendance. The weather was beautiful and everyone who attended had great fellowship.
The meal began at 12:30 with a blessing given by Bob Dickey. Everyone enjoyed a potluck meal along with delicious fried chicken and pulled pork. Food was plentiful and more than enough to eat.
The business meeting began with a welcome to all. A big thank you went to Dean Dickey and Renee Oliver for set-up, and Aunt Babe and Cheryl for providing the meat.
Announcements and reports, including signing the attendance sheet, minutes of the 2009 reunion and the treasurer's report were taken care of. Any expenses for this year should be turned in to Nancy.
A moment of silence was held in remembrance of family members who passed on during the past year: Ceville Hinman
Tom Dickey reported on the Clan golf scramble outing on Saturday. Winning group was Tom Dickey, Cheryl Dambacher and Sue Seppi. Prizes were awarded. A big thank you went to Tom who organizes the outing each year.
Approximately 48 family members attended the cousin's party Saturday night at the Dambacher farm. Those who did attend enjoyed freshly prepared barbecued chicken and pork burgers. Everyone is a cousin and encouraged to attend. A big thank you went to Artie, Sarah, Scott and Mary for the great hospitality.
