Reunions are about family coming together. It is important to inform the reunion committee if special accommodations is needed. Please let us know of any medical conditions (i.e. diabetes, wheel chair access…).
Requesting assistance for anyone who has a medical background and would like to make themselves available during the weekend, please contact Corinne West.
Most important, come prepared to meet family members old and new. We are planning a Reunion that you will have memories and special moments to remember for a lifetime.
So, take plenty of pictures and come prepared to enjoy the reunion and meet family.
