Reunion 2018
Reunion 2018, Original Reunion Newsletter.
Dear families,
I hope you and your families are well. Ever since my husband's funeral in 2015 (Edward Lee Ayers, Sr.), I have dreamed that we could have a family reunion in 2018. I held the first reunion in 1995, so after 22 years, it's about time we get together again.
One of the first tasks is to put together a family list so that we can see if there is enough interest in having a reunion. Below is a survey form, and we would appreciate your response as soon as possible. (If there is enough interest, a lot of planning will be necessary, and we need enough lead time.)
I know some of you have been meticulously keeping up with a family tree and/or address book. Is your tree in a copy-able format that you could send to me? I have a pretty good address list of my immediate family, but I especially don't know the details about you, aunts, uncles and cousins. We want to include all branches or our tree. At a minimum, please provide the names and addresses of your own immediate family, (spouse, siblings, children, grandparents and great-grandparents and any other family addresses you may have. We may get duplicates, but that's better than missing someone!
These trees and address lists might be a good resource tool, as well, both for organizing the reunion and for putting together a reunion keepsake. In addition, I am asking each family member to provide me with a favorite recipe ( even if you don't think you can attend the reunion), so that I can put together a Family Cookbook. Please attach your recipe to your survey form.
I really want to see us get together in a happy, festive occasion. If we start planning now, we just might be able to do it!
Love & Blessings,
