The 2025

Brenner-Zoschke Reunion

July 25- 27, 2025.

(update)

Vol. 2.0

 

Greetings to the B-Z family,

Well, its now November and we are very close to two very important events on our National calendar. Today is the day set aside for our national election and hopefully you have already voted or are planning on voting later today. The stakes could not be higher nor the issues more strategic to believers.

This is the point of our Reunion calendar where we want to encourage our families to begin thinking about the strategic planning that will be necessary to make it back to Kansas in 2025.

The biggest news is that we now have a digital link in place that will take you directly to the Rock Springs Registration site where you can register for the reunion and clarify some important choices such as medical needs and specific dietary choices. Just a reminder, though, you will need to register individually for each member of your party that is coming to the reunion.


Finally, I have included a brief survey in this email to try to ascertain how best to utilize our scholarship funds and to ensure the maximum participation at the next reunion. The survey is limited by the present technology but it is a start to determining how we might secure additional funding to help as many as possible who might be find the reunion costs prohibitive from attending.



Blessings,

Mark and Debbie (Brenner) Congrove

Praise and prayer updates

  • Mark Brenner: His continuing battle w/ cancer. Great reports as of late.
  • A number of family members (Mark and Deb) have been struggling with lengthy illnesses.
  • Our national election. If the United States could carry off a national election at the height of Civil War in 1864, we should be able to do it today. Make sure you vote.
  • The continued health of our families. There are great burdens being carried by our families.

A Word about housing

2025 Reunion.


In order to manage our costs, we are considering offering limited housing units on Rock Springs' campus.

We believe you may be able to find more affordable lodging at:

  • Airb&b
  • Local motels
  • Friends/ relatives in the area.
  • local campgrounds

A few helpful hints when registering via the link,

for the reunion.

  1. You must register for each individual who will be attending the reunion. (Parents register for children or family members who may not have computer access)
  2. You can register to board in one of the cabins/ cottages that we have made available. Hillside is a cottage that sleeps up to 20 people. Asa and Coop are cabins that sleep up to 26 people. I believe Hillside can be divided into 2 units of ten occupants each.
  3. You have the opportunity to identify any special considerations or food allergies that may require special meal choices. ( If you sign up for meals).
  4. You can register and choose not to stay on the grounds. If this is your choice, simply indicate by "Group guest".
