Family Reunion Planning Advice

Planning for the family reunion should be just as much enriching and inspiring as the event itself. It's important to keep the lines of communication open and equalize task to be performed among family members.  Use this as a time to commend each individual for their efforts.  If circumstances prevent some from following thru on assigned tasks offer assistance and practical advice. 

The planning stage is an excellent catalyst to bring distance and extended family members into the circle to better get to know one another. Promote positive activities for the purpose of bonding.  Remind the family of the reason you are doing these things.

Planned family reunion events feature themes, slogans, historic genealogy tours, grave site visits and a luncheon or dinner program. At these events ancestors and living elders are often acknowledged and honored. The family reunion planning guide outlines primary features of traditional family reunions.
