In today's world, there are few things we can always depend on, how lucky we are to have our family and our family traditions. This reunion will be celebrating the 90th because so many people like Archie and Doris knew and appreciated the value of family. We are part of something special and now it is our time. It is our time to step up to the plate and remind not only ourselves but our children how important and special the family is. My Mom used to say it was her hope, dream and prayer this would continue long after the she and her siblings were gone. Well, here we are. I strongly encourage you to find a way to participate this year. I know how busy you all are, I know those of you with children have full calendars.....which actually makes this even more important. The continuance of this tradition is in our hands. Grandmother Doris cannot do it anymore, it is up to us.
The planning committee has requested Aunt Doris" grandchildren continue to plan and conduct the "games" for the young at heart again this year. The only request was to think about trying to add a game or two that Grandma Doris and her siblings may have played in their youth.
Note from Karen....please let Dad know about hotel preference and number of nights!
