I guess the beginning is the best place to start! The idea for the club came from a daughter of a friend actually. Her brother and his wife were not blessed with children of their own so they started a club for the children of their siblings. Since Scott and I have no grandchildren of own as of yet, we needed some interaction with children to get us ready for our own grandchildren. We also feel a bit diconnected to our extended family and we wanted a way to bond the children and even the parents of children to each other. So the club was inspired!
We decided to invite our nephews and our grand nieces and nephews to join. Following is the letter:
The next post will be from our first meeting last friday night! We had a blast :)
Welcome to the ....Great Scott...and Diane ClubYou are invited to a new club we are forming to create more unity for the families of Uncle Scott and Aunt Diane. We know that some of you live out of state but we still want you as members and we will mail out crafts, treats etc. to you. On the day of our activities we will try to contact you by phone just to say "HI".
The first one to call Aunt Diane on the phone at 801-721-8833, will be the President of said club. The second one to call Vice President and so forth. Each member will have a responsibility and position.
Right now we are planning to meet each season of the year. For our fall meeting we want to invite you to our home on Nov.19th at 7 to 9. We will be doing a craft for the Fall Season , eating and playing games (note to parents: go out and have a date night while we watch the kiddos. Let us know if you need to bring them earlier or stay later to accommodate a movie or whatever! You are welcome to stay and help out if you want). Please RSVP by Nov. 12th so we can get things ready and mailed out to far away members.
Who is invited, you might ask? Any one related to Scott and Diane Jacobson (step and half relations too) including the Wrights (Kyle, Jordan, Daniel ), Carters, Ivins, Strongs, Stringham, Dowdle, Castonquay, Rea, Gillingham , and Rumsey children. If I am forgetting a family please inform us and forgive us. Most activities will be centered around kids 10 and under but, older kids can come help the smaller ones! We hope you come to get to know your cousins better, meet new friends and make your Aunt and Uncle happy!
