We have been having family reunions for over 10 years(we didn't have one in 2003).
Our family is a 'small' one..(about 50 total) and most live with-in 50 - 60 miles, so we don't have to worry about hotel/motel accomadations.
Members that live out of state have RV's and park at nearby facilities..or stay with relatives close by.
We have the usual..pitch-in..games..etc..in a rented pavilion located in a local city park.
We also have an auction..wrapped gifts..for adults & kids..and anyone..to help pay for.rental and buy meat.. decorations..condiments..drinks..ice..plates/napkins & utensils.
I also make Reunion Booklets..families send me letters (20 copies each) about 2 months before..during the year I get email (poems, stories, medical reports, weddings, any activities) that I also include. Some years I make memory pages for deceased members.
We started a Recipe Book a few years back..so I request new recipes every year.
What more can we do?
Suggestions welcomed !
Thank you !
