Reunion Preparation
REUNION PREPARATION When I was young, I loved our family reunions, I still do! The Wade family reunions in Bountiful, Arizona, Texas, and Duck Creek to name a few. Some of you remember the McAllister gatherings in Arizona and the Johnstun reunions at Como Springs (the purple and gold crepe paper we wrapped around car antennas as we drove up the canyon), the baseball games, genealogy meetings, the food and the fun. The Stone family reunions at Hyrum Park are always memorable! I didn’t appreciate all the planning and preparation that was involved until recently. Annette and I decided to have a reunion/retreat with the senior missionary friends we made while on our mission in Ukraine. Here’s a partial list of what’s involved: finding and arranging for an adequate place to gather. Locating contact information on all those to invite. Composing and sending texts and emails announcing and inviting and replying to a myriad of questions
