An Introduction to this Blog, as told by Alyssa Jensen

Dear Family ~

The planning has begun!! This blog has been made to help us all stay in the loop and know how the planning is going. On here we will be posting updates, pictures and anything else related to the upcoming family reunion. You may be asking "What.. Reunion? When will this reunion be?" Well, it will be in July of 2013. It may seem like a long time away, but planning a reunion with such a big family takes a lot of time! And we're giving you almost a year's advance notice so there should be no excuses for missing it!!  :)
The official web address is shaferfamilyreunion.blogspot.com - pretty easy to remember right? Yeah, that's why I made it that way, I'm thankful that address was open so we didn't have to use it $hAferrrrRFamBamReun!0n or anything crazy like that!!
For all you tech-savvy people out there, you can get this blog in a mobile version on all your fancy gizmos! Yes, we cater to your fanciness.
So check this every now and then, make it a bookmark, or your homepage  :)

(For those of you worried and thinking "How did they let an 18 year old be in charge of the reunion??" Fear not, I, Alyssa, am not in charge of everything, or really anything... I'm just the teenager on the computer all the time.. So this task was given to me)
The current planning committee is: Sharon Martinez, Mary Kay Shafer, Dianna Savage, Pam Jensen and Evie Norris. If you are interested in helping plan this wonderful event- contact one of them... not me... I won't be able to help you.  Thanks!

There will be more updates or pictures up later so keep checking back :)
