Family Reunion Planning
Tips
Family reunions do much to bind and strengthen family ties. It is a time to discover where you came from and define who you are.
It establishes traditions and memories that you will always remember.
Many family reunion events consist of a simple backyard Bar-b-que or a
more elaborate picnic in the park. Others choose to stretch the
event over several days while touring a historic location that may have
special significance to the family. This can prove to be inspiring
to young and old alike and a perfect opportunity to bond with relatives while getting to
know the history behind the family name. But planning a family reunion is
no picnic. That said, how can you plan a family reunion successfully?
FAMILY BUSINESS
First choose a board of directors from among family members according to needed skills and talents. A president and secretary/treasurer is needed. You'll need a historian, genealogist, accountant, events planner, media specialist to create flyers and invitations etc. Open a special bank account with debit card and check book.
SCHEDULE MEETINGS
Establish period meeting times well in advance and keep a meeting calendar handy. Record minutes and action items during each
meeting allowing participants to vote on proposals in corporate fashion. Review account expenditures and balance at each meeting.

GETTING THE WORD OUT
Months before the reunion event send out a family reunion newsletter,
enter family reunion registries, mail out event preparation letter to all heads of households to notify them of the event. These should notify their own children and married grandchildren of the event.
After the event place, time and activities are determined a flyer
including a schedule of events as well as a list of items that they should
bring can be mailed out. Attach maps with location and written directions to planned activities in the area.
FAMILY GENEALOGY
A family reunion just would not be complete without unlocking the past
and becoming acquainted with the ancestors. The key to successfully
accomplishing this is both in the process of researching family history
and the presentation of your research. Having
the proper note taking papers for documenting facts is essential. Knowing
where to find information is crucial.
Local and home town libraries, federal reports, state and city offices,
hospitals and school systems can be very helpful. Genealogical
research associations may assist you in getting rare documents and
artifacts. Still the best place to start is with the family.
Interview each family member with pointed questions that will unlock a
treasure chest of information and direction regarding the kind of people
your ancestors were and the activities they enjoyed.
PRESENTATION
Table with artifacts, heirlooms and historic documentation in the form of
certificates, ancestors diplomas, awards, old greeting cards and letters,
photos and paintings can bring the past to life and conjure up fond
memories long forgotten.

FAMILY FUNDS
Reunions can be expensive and getting funds for events can be a challenge. There are several fun and enriching ways to bring in funds for reunion events. A family or neighborhood auction does well. Bake sales at picnics, flea market style yard sales.
Fund Raiser
Kits
are very helpful as these include everything needed to get your fund drive
off to a great start.
Fund raiser kits may include greeting cards,
gift baskets and fine art for auction. Many families have commissioned artists to paint a picture of a loved ancestor, and held it for auction. This
usually proves to be the most successful fund raiser. Not acquainted with artists in your
area? Legendary Heritage in-house-artists would be honored to create your
portrait.
