Family Reunion

2010 Kornowicz Family Reunion Newsletter

December 2009 Issue

Hello and Merry Christmas to all! Hope this update finds all of you happy and healthy, enjoying this great holiday season! Here’s some updates regarding the family reunion weekend planned for summer 2010.

The dates for the reunion have been set to July 16, 17, & 18, 2010.


Tentative Schedule of Events:

• Friday July 16, 2010:
• Evening Adult Social & Happy Hour
• Time: 6pm-??
• Location: The Aud Sports Bar & Grille...6036 Transit Road...Depew, NY 14043
• Saturday July 17, 2010:
• Family Picnic & gathering*
• Time: Noon –Dusk
• Location: Emery Park...2084 Emery Road...South Wales, NY 14139
• Sunday July 18, 2010:
• Event: Church Services
• Time: 9:00am
• Location: Holy Mother of the Rosary Cathedral...5776 Broadway...Lancaster, NY 14086
• Event: Brunch**
• Time: 10:30am
• Location: TBD

* Some of the ideas we have for the family picnic include water balloons, a pinochle tournament, horseshoes, Kan-Jam, Volleyball, Softball, Kickball, etc. Uncle Al is going to make the reservations for the park for us. We would definitely like to have a photo collage of everyone’s baby picture to have a sort of “guess the baby”. We also would like for everyone to bring any old photos they have (whether it be from 60 years ago, or 15 years ago) as well as their wedding albums, It will be great to share in the memories! As a group we would like to purchase the meats (Hot Dogs & Hamburgers for a late lunch, then possibly Chicken & Ribs for dinner??) as well as the paper supplies and condiments. We would like to ask that each family bring a dish to pass. As we get closer we can work on a sign up sheet. Remember, if all family members are in attendance, that is about 75 people we are accounting for! Paula is going to work on getting T-Shirts made for the event.



** We have a few options when it comes to brunch on Sunday, depending on what type of budget we would all agree on. A few of the options that we have discussed are going out for brunch at a restaurant such as Ripa’s, The Columns, Salvatores, or The Millenium. Uncle Jerry and Aunt Chris have also volunteered to host brunch at their house, keeping the costs down and for everyone to have a place to “hang out” after brunch and still socialize, or make plans with each other for afternoon activities.



Leaving you with a few picture of our great family!

Happy Turkey Day!

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving (I know I'm a few days late...sorry). Hope that everyone remembers to be thankful for the great family that we have! Love you all!

Love
~Vicki~

A very thankful Thanksgiving

So I know it's a week early, but I am very thankful this year!

Thankful for my family, both near and far, we truly are an awesome bunch and I'm so greatful to be a part of it!

Thankful for being introduced to Dave Ramsey~what a difference we've seen in our lives, and in our quest to becoming debt free! (BTW~we have $1000 in the bank and have paid off almost $4000 in bills!)

Thankful for Kornowicz Catering~I don't think that I would be who I am today if it wasn't for being a part of it~and all the great memories that go with it!

Thankful for being unemployed~yes, I know that seems very odd, but at this point in time-things are going extremely well and being unemployed has made both of us take less things for granted and appreciate what we have, and reprioritize what we need versus what we want.

Finally,I'm thankful for patience~although we have no baby news yet, and it seems like this past year has been like forever, I know that God has a bigger plan for us right now~so patience it is!

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
Love
~Vicki~

Catering Memories

I am sure that we all have many memories of the Catering Business. I was blessed to be able to work for my parents who ran Reiman Hall and also for Grandma & Dzia who ran Kornowicz Catering. Chris & I used to work most weekends at catering...in addition to our day jobs. Thanks Grandma & Dzia for starting this business and putting the love of cooking in all of us. Thanks Uncle Jerry & Aunt Chris for keeping Kornowicz Catering alive for this long. May you have a Happy Retirement...can you ever retire from this business. To this day I love to cook and entertain...the larger the group the better.
Steakrolls were a favorite in my house. I am not sure who invented them but the White's enjoy them...well most of us.

Chris, Joe and Uncle Allen were on there way to a party one Saturday afternoon...driving Big Blue to Weber Post in Lackawana from Gorski St. While rounding the corner the back doors flew open and yep you guessed it the wagon of meat and a pot of cabbage flew out the door. Sounds like something from the movies. They pulled the truck over to access the situation and did what any good person would do. Scooped up the cabbage from the street back into the pot and put the steakrolls back in the roaster...arrived at Weber Post with closed lips. The food was served and the kitchen got rave reviews that night. Only later while enjoying Pizza, wings and beer on Gorski St was the truth revealed. Oh the memories.

The End of an Era

My entire life I remember going to Grama K's during the summer and sneaking "next door" to where my mom was working and taste the food...mmmm! In November, Uncle Jerry and Aunt Chris are retiring and the family business ~Kornowicz Catering~ will cease operations. I helped out at one of the last parties last night, and it was rather bittersweet. As usual, it was chaotic, crazy, messy, organized and planned, -and peaceful. As much as there are crazy things going on and it gets insane, I found a wave of peace, maybe it was Gramma & Grandpa looking down. The food was fabulous, as usual-pork chops and chicken cordon bleu, kapusta, green beans, and twice baked potatoes. If you have some memories, please share them! This has touched each one of us in one way or another~and Gramma and Grandpa would be so proud!
