The Ellen Payne Odom Genealogy Library Family Tree
The Family Tree - August/September 2003
Family Reunions • Gatherings • Meetings


by Edith Wagner

It’s the Reunion Season!
Are you ready?
This time we’re including suggestions for Reunion Day(s): the big ones!

These are some ideas for displays at your reunion. These are all things that need collecting and assembling before the reunion to set up on site for your reunion members to enjoy.

Photos: collect donations from everyone
Collect, sort, label and mount pictures of ancestors, history, triumphs, successes, victories.
Establish a mystery photo area to display pictures you can’t identify — ask for everyone’s help and input.

Videos/slides/movies
Include many subjects of mutual interest — past reunions, special events (mini-reunions, baptisms, weddings, graduations, retirement)
Schedule showings - rainy weather, evenings, at the banquet, background in a hospitality room

Reunion memorabilia, heirlooms, artifacts

Family tree for everyone to admire, solicit additions, changes

Reunion histories
Collect oral or video histories. Encourage young members to be interviewers, photographers and videographers.
