Life’s An Event
Odds & Ends
Here’s a short list of miscellaneous things (in no
particular order) my own family has done at our
reunions that you may also consider doing:
Have a “50/50” raffle, hold an Art Show or Auction
to raise money for the “Reunion Fund” for the
future, have a “check in” table where people can
get an agenda of activities, ask people to wear
name tags (at least for a while!), wear per-assigned
colors to identify various family branches, hire a
photographer to take a Family photo, play “capture
the flag” and have a balloon toss, hold a talent show,
hire a DJ or local band for a dance, set up a
“hospitality room” and hire a couple of well
recommended “baby sitters” for little ones so parents
can have a bit of fun on their own if they like, plant a
memorial tree to honor those who have passed away
and take time to honor them and welcome the new
members of your family too, sing together, tell stories
around a campfire, have a religious service (or make a
list of local churches for people who may
want to attend), create a family email list (or
website) for future communication, take the kids
fishing for a few hours and tell lots and lots of stories!
