By all means, we should remind family members about the reunion. Also, I ask that family please submit to me the names and addresses of anyone who has not received a newsletter or an invitation and who you think would like to receive them. Dot Vander Meulen

Offer photo ops of individual family groups
Pedal tractor obstacle course (kids ages 3-9)
Power-point presentation “Lets go back to our roots”
a 10-15 minute presentaion on historic Hampton & the Pearl family
“Bring a photo” to share: possibly a contest guessing which family member(s) in photo…
Just “brainstorming”

I don’t think there are any easy ways other than everyone talking it up better with their respective families. It’s not always easy, but we need to convince our relatives of the importance of attending. I will volunteer the fact that I just spoke to a niece and she said that the three of them would have loved to have gone but didn’t know about the reunion. They should have, I assumed they did. Let’s get our immediate family to come, at least ask!

At this point I don’t have any suggestions, but we will be thinking about it. It was good to see everyone on Sunday!
