The Steiner Family reunion was held on Sunday, July 22, 2007 at the Frankfort TPA Park. It was a beautiful day. Not what you would expect towards the end of July. But we were thankful for the wonderful weather. Approximately 85 family and friends gathered for our once a year picnic. It was so good to have this great turn out. We had quite a few cousins who traveled from outside Indiana to attend this year’s reunion. Debbie Carpenter Maldanodo and her granddaughter, Natasha traveled from California. Several ventured up from Georgia. Kevin Braun, from Decatur, GA, Kim Hawk Weaver and her husband, Mark from Springfield, GA, and Megan Wagner (Herb’s wife) and their three children, Kayla, Benne, and Adam from Moreland, GA. Tiffany Putman Bricker and her family came down from Sterling Heights, MI. Everyone else traveled from inside of Indiana and we are very thankful for everyone’s safe return home. The kids all enjoyed the bubbles and the ever popular balloon/dart game. The Annual Gini Steiner-Kelly Euchre Tournament also was played. There were four groups playing in this year’s tournament. Booper Moore was the tournament coordinator. Steve Steiner was crowned this year’s champion. The loaner trophy (Frog Rain Gauge) was (Continued on page 2)

And the coveted “boopey” prize was awarded to a cheerful Beth Lancaster for scoring the lowest amount of points. I believe that Tiffany Bricker received the most trash talk and teasing from everyone. It was a blast. No Steiner Family gathering would be complete without a game of cards. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNER, STEVE STEINER. Mark your calendars now for next year’s reunion. Same place, Frankfort TPA Park (shelter by the pool) on Sunday, July 27th. Let see if we can get group of 100 family and friends together and continue the traditions that our parents and grandparents started years ago. Hope to see you next year!

Special Thank You
Website Recipe Page – Message from Dana Beck
Words can’t express the love, appreciation, and gratitude I have for all of you who reached out to my family and me during the days and weeks following Cody’s death. I received emails, cards, phone calls, food, flowers, and offers to help from so many of you. Many of you traveled to the showing and funeral. I wanted to take the time to personally thank each one of you during that time, but it was just not possible. I don’t think I could have made it without the support of this wonderful family. My life has forever changed. These special moments of caring and sharing that you were apart of will forever be etched in my heart and mind. Thank you again for your love and support. Pam
