Summer Is Here!

Summer has begun! The barbecue and aprons are ready!

We've begun summer with two of several family reunions planned. The excitement of family gatherings adds to the fun of summer! Planning games, family tshirt colors, a menu, brings this event together. Then on the day of, some with excitment, others with shyness, some with new family members, others with a recent loss, will gather. Sharing photos, food and games, little by little brings unity, and the family tree grows. Elders visit with memories of old. Children play as newfound cousins having a great time. Teens look around with visions of "is this who we are?" Those that plan it say quietly, mission accomplished!

When will your reunion be? You can make it happen! Find a local park, take out the old photos, bring your family togther for a happy time, rather than a funeral. Exchange emails and phone numbers. Integrate old and young by playing a variety of music, put together a flexible schedule....have fun! You will be amazed how many will show, and be glad for it later! All it takes is you!

Keep in touch, let us know how much fun you had!
