Good News From Bertha Peters - A New National Champion in the Family

I am not sure how to access the family site, but I thought that the following might be of interest to the family. Our Sandra, as one of the woman's rowing team, became a national champion this past Sunday at the National Rowing Competition in Gainesville GA. The following website, www.illinirowing.com, has pictures, a video, and the news release. We are just so proud of Sandy who has only been rowing for 2 years.






If you think that this is newsworthy, please pass it on.

Update on Aunt Catherine

Catherine Goodin at the 2009 Peters Family Reunion

Just talked with Charles Robert Peters who is at the hospital with Aunt Catherine, and her condition has improved.  She was actually able to eat something today.  They've even made plans to begin her on a gradual rehabilitation program.  Now, when you pray for her, be sure to praise God for her progress so far (...and the doctor's have no medical explanation for her progress), and please pray for her continued improvement.

Catherine (Peters) Goodin

Aunt Catherine has suffered a severe brain hemorrhage and is currently at the University of Kentucky hospital in Lexington.  Please pray for her.

55th Annual Family Reunion

From Charles Peters:

Announcing

The descendants of William Christopher Peters, their spouses, children, and special friends will gather at Levi Jackson State Park, Shelter number two, Sunday, June 24, 2012, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.to participate in our 55^th annual family reunion. Levi Jackson State Park is located south of London. You can enter the park from either U.S. 25 South or from Hwy 229. Note that Shelter 2 is a change from last year and is on the right just down the street from last year’s location (if you enter the park from U.S. 25). Larger open area for our children to play.

Planned Activities

1. Family fellowship.

2. Potluck Lunch – You bring your favorite dishes (full of food of course) and the Peters’ family will enjoy it. For those of you who are traveling and cooking is not convenient, you can purchase something locally (KY Fried Chicken, Famous Recipe, Kroger and Wal-Mart Deli’s are nearby). Paper plates, cups, napkins, and eating utensils will be provided. We also have serving utensils so you won’t have to worry with this little detail. Bring a little extra potluck and let’s hope we set a high attendance record this year.

We plan to begin lunch promptly at 1:00 p.m. Plan to arrive as early as possible to permit time for the registration process, opening remarks, and food preparation to be completed prior to the 1:00 p.m. time for lunch.

Anita and I will arrive around 10:00 a.m. to begin setting up for the day’s activities, so you all come as early as you like and let’s get our fellowship started.

3. Annual horseshoe pitch tournament, coordinated by Barry Peters. Begins immediately after lunch. With the new shelter location, there is plenty room for other games such as: Corn Toss, basketball, etc.

4. Door prize drawing at approximately 4:00 P.M. Family members have been very thoughtful to bring door prizes and I’m sure you will again this year.

5. Auction – To help with reunion expenses, we look forward to your bringing a special item that would be good for the auction. Family handmade items are always good.

6. There is a playground play set and basketball goal at the shelter location. The park has a public swimming pool, Mountain Life Museum, McHargue Water Mill, putt putt golf (within walking distance), motor home camp sites, etc.

We will be using the shelter house for our event, so you may want to bring folding chairs for added seating space under the trees (if you want to sit under the trees). The park shelter house has seating available for approx 150. All of our planned activities will take place at the shelter house location which will allow you the convenience of socializing while watching or playing horseshoes, and also supervising your children while they play.

2012 W.C. Peters Family Reunion

From Charles Peters:

The W.C. Peters Family Reunion is scheduled to happen on Sunday, June 24, 2012, Levi Jackson State Park, London KY.

This year's reunion will be located in Shelter House #2, which is a change from the past 2 years. Shelter 2 is larger, has bathrooms within the shelter, the ground surrounding the shelter is flat and safer for our children to play, has swings, a basketball goal, 2 horseshoe pits,etc.

It is closer to the Camping Park and the Putt Putt Golf Course. Shelter #2 is located just down the the street on the right from Shelter #1 where we were last year.

The downside to this change in location is that it does cost more to rent for a full day, but I believe it is a good move since they are still using porta pots at shelter 1 and shelter 2 has a better play area, and the shelter is larger.

Mark your calendars and make your plans to attend this year's W.C. Peters Family Reunion.

Just learned from Charles Peters that Darrell was recently hospitalized for pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is a very painful condition that can linger for a long time and can lead to serious complications. Please keep Darrell in your prayers.
