Family Reunion
Oh Touch Family – it’s on like popcorn!! Summer is officially here and the 4th of July is at hand! It is time for fireworks and Family Reunions!
Now it is my self-appointed task to give you as much help with organizing your Family Reunion as I possibly can. So I’ve got a few tips for you;
1). Make sure that you have a boat-load of tee shirts with the family logo on it ready to distribute.
2). You must have a “Unifying Theme”.
The theme should be fun yet meaningful. For instance, "A Tradition of Hard Work" would highlight the work that your ancestors did to bring the family to this point. "Preparing for the Next Successful 100 Years" would be another evocative theme to give everyone hope for the future. Place this message on your T-shirts and other items.
3). Take time out for a History Lesson.
The kids at the reunion (and even some adults) might not know much about the heritage and history of the family. This is the perfect opportunity to research your family history and present it to the family as a whole. Put together a family tree and use the services at Genealogy.com or Ancestry.com to dig deeper. Talk about how the family migrated or immigrated to the area where most members are located now. Compile a narrated video or PowerPoint slide show to be presented to the family during a special hour of the reunion.
Now go out, have a great time and eat a lot of bar-b-que and chicken wings!!
God Bless! – T-Robb
