Hey ,
It’s officially happening and it’s shaping up to be a GOOD time! 🙌🏾 Here’s everything you need to know from our latest reunion planning meeting so you can come ready, prepared and hungry (because… yes, food is involved 😄).
🎉 Reunion Weekend Overview
Friday Night: Meet & Greet (Kickoff!)
🕕 Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
📍 Location: Emma Washington Backyard (Baba's house)
We’re keeping it simple and social—this is all about reconnecting, laughing and getting to know each other (especially if it’s been a while 👀).
Food vibe: Light + easy
Think sliders, meatballs, deviled eggs, pasta salad, chips and drinks.
✨ Bonus: We’re adding icebreakers so nobody’s stuck in the “now who is that again?” phase all night.
Saturday: Field Day + Cookout
🕑 Time: Around 2:00 PM – 7:00 PM (final time coming soon)
📍 Location: Natasha Collins house
This is our BIG day—fun, games, food and family energy all in one place.
What’s happening:
- Field day games (for kids AND adults 👀)
- Bounce house + water activities
- Space to relax, eat and hang out
Food lineup (aka come hungry):
- Grilled chicken, ribs, burgers, hot dogs
- Baked beans, potato salad, mac & cheese
- Lemonade, water and more
👉 We WILL need help setting up and cooking, so be ready to jump in if asked!
Sunday: Church + Optional Family Meal
⏰ Time: Around 10:00 AM (TBD)
📍 Location: Rock of Ages Baptist Church Dianne Goldsmith home church
After service, we’ll decide if we’re eating together or heading out separately.
💰 Reunion Dues (Important!)
To make sure everything runs smoothly (and nobody’s pulling out their wallet last minute 😅):
- Ages 2–6: $10
- Ages 7–12: $20
- Ages 13–18: $30
- Ages 19+: $50

🎓 Scholarships & Graduations

💡 We’re ALSO exploring ways to recognize younger students (elementary & middle school transitions) with gifts or supplies.
📢 IMPORTANT:
If your child is graduating, YOU must let us know.
🗓️ Deadline to submit names: April 30
🛍️ Family Businesses = Bring Your Stuff!
Got a business? Side hustle? Creative products?

- Make a few sales 👏🏾
🙌🏾 Final Notes
We’re building this reunion together—which means:
- Participate
- Pay dues on time
- Volunteer where you can
Last year taught us a lot… this year, we’re coming back more organized, more inclusive and way more fun!
