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.
Time capsule
to encourage contributions
The following reunions are coming
up soon.
