💛 Family, Faith & A Whole Lot of Planning

Hey ,

We just wrapped up our March 28th Family Reunion Planning Meeting and let’s just say… it was productive, real and definitely full of personality 😄

From opening prayer to final decisions (and a few hilarious moments in between), we’re officially on our way to making this year’s reunion one to remember!

📅 Here’s What You Need to Know

🎉 Reunion Dates

We’re locking in a 3-day reunion:

Friday – Saturday – Sunday

📍 Second weekend in September

🏡 Weekend Breakdown

• Friday: Meet & Greet at Emma Washington (Baba's house)
• Saturday: Main Event (games, food, fun!) at Natasha Collins house
• Sunday: Church Service: Rock of Ages Baptist Church Dianne Goldsmith home church

💰 Dues Update (Important!)

We’ve moved to a per-person structure:

• Ages 2–6: $10
• Ages 7–12: $20
• Ages 13–18: $30
• Ages 19+: $50

📌 Deadline to pay: July 25

💡 You can pay in installments—no pressure to pay all at once.

And just to be clear:

No one will be excluded if they’re going through a tough time.

If you need support, reach out privately—we’ve got each other.

🎯 What’s Coming This Year

We’re leveling things UP:

• Adult field day games 👀
• Bounce houses & kid activities
• Bingo, spades & family competitions
• More structure… but still plenty of fun

👉 Got ideas? We want them!

We’ll be collecting suggestions for:

• Activities
• Food menus
• Anything you want to see this year

🍗 For Real Though…

One of the easiest ways to get folks to show up?

Food.

So yes… we’ll have that covered! 😄

💬 Real Conversations That Matter

We also started an important discussion around:

• Scholarships
• What defines “Family”
• How we support each other moving forward

No final decisions yet—but the conversation is open, honest and ongoing.

📣 What We Need From You

✔️ Mark your calendar

✔️ Start submitting ideas

✔️ Spread the word to the family

✔️ Start your payments early if you can

Because this reunion?

It only works when everybody shows up—however they can.

❤️ Final Thought

This isn’t just about a weekend.

It’s about:

• Staying connected
• Building memories
• Creating something that lasts for generations

And if this meeting was any indication…

👉 We’re off to a powerful start!

See you at the next meeting (and yes… there will be food 😄)

With love,

The Family Reunion Committee
