Reunion Sunday

Semaj worked it out. The sermon was entitled: "Check your righteousness!!!!!!"

Featured highlights include a prayer for the family by Rev. Maxwell, songs by both the Brown Family and the Flemister Family Choir, and prayer and prep by the Jaspers.

We dined at Lillie Mae and talked the night away.

Person Chapel was packed as the family praised God. What a wonderful way to conclude.

Final report coming.

First day

Hello Family,

Tonight's meet and greet was enjoyable. It was good to see some new faces and have the opportunity to learn about each one of you.

Kudos to everyone who has made the first night's events a success: cooks, servers, decorators, cleaners, organizers, and planners.

Remember that we are meeting at 8:30am for breakfast at the MCDonald's on HWY 425. This is kitty corner from the Super 8 motel.

Our day at the Sadie Johnson building will start at 10am. We have a lot of fun and activities planned. Sign up for one or more of them. Plenty of prizes await those who win!!

If you are a late arrival, make sure to stop by the registration table and handle all business. You will need to have on your wristband to gain access to all activities.

Looking forward to seeing you in the morning.
