Reunions - who has them????
At the Hooks Family Reunion in Dothan, Alabama on June 28, 2008 the eternal question arose again:How can we get more participation and interest in these reunions?I would like to know who is already having reunions focused on segments of the Hooks family.My branch held reunions from the early 1900s on or near "Grandma's birthday" of August 3rd.Those reunions stopped when she passed away in 1926.The reunions began again the 1960s as a workday at the family cemetery in Garfield, Georgia and expanded to include "out-of-towners" in 1978.They stopped again after the last of the 1st cousins passed away in 1999.I presume many of your families have some sort of reunion and I believe the readers of this forum would like to hear about them.Please post your thoughts here or email me at [email protected], from hearing what has worked for you we can apply it to the "national" group's efforts and make them more interesting and, maybe, even more fun.
Thank you.
