2012 WNPJ Reunion serviced 300 plus Atlanta (Jonesboro/Stockbridge/Riverdale), GA.

Since 1978 the WNPJ Reunion has been held in many states.  We have been as far North on the East Coast as Maine, as far South as Florida, and as far West as California in 2010.  In 2012 the reunion was held in Atlanta, Georgia “Hotlanta” hosted by Arlivia “Williams” Staples, Ophelia “Button” Staples, DaWayne “Squallie” and Quantri Staples, Shaniqua “Niki” Kirkland, Lamont Lancaster and newly introduced family members from the Williams John and Yvonne Debra McCartney, and our families.

The Atlanta family committee began planning as soon as the torch was passed in 2010.  We knew that we had a great challenge before us.  We began to research locations that could house a large number, anticipating that 2012 would be a large turnout.   Some places were adequate The Atlanta International Beach home of the 19xx Olympics Volley Ball Tournament.  Others were very close quarters, never the less we as a Committee aimed to please.  Menus (enough food to fill everyone’s belly) had to be chosen. Tee shirts color selection, bright green, we wanted WNPJ to be recognized by anyone that saw us and orders were placed 300+ shirts, Hotels reserved to accommodate an anticipated 250 people.  A DJ for the weekend and much, much more… 

We secured entertainment for the children face painting, clown, games…  As well as door prizes, auctions, raffles for the adults.  One of the highlights of the reunion was handmade Afghans, some raffled off, some given away as prizes they were made by Arlivia “Williams” Staples.  The other highlight was all the senior ladies received a fresh cut flower “give them their flowers while they are live”.

There is no place I would rather be than in the house of the Lord.  On Sunday, the reunion weekend concluded with the family estimated 75 attending church Fountain of Faith Missionary Baptist Church in Riverdale, GA where the Staples families worship.  We were blessed by a selection of song by the Late Chester Norris’ Jr. daughters.  For those that had to travel you we were with you in love and prayer.

Prior to the conclusion of each Reunion the next destination is chosen.  William Watt and Karen Askew accepted for 2014 to be held in Philadelphia, PA.

We’ll see you in Phili!
