Greetings Family,                                  
It is again time for our family to celebrate our Tri-Annual Reunion and the celebration of Homecoming in Bellevue, LA. Due to a weakening economy the Family Reunion Committee decided to skip the 2009 year for the Family Reunion, as we are still a bi-annual event. We will have the Family Reunion extravaganza July 30-August 1, 2010. We hope and pray that you are now ready for this wondrous event. Since we met the last time there have been marriages and births to the Aaron Family and we hope to meet all of our new family.
 
This year’s theme will be “Love Endureth Through All Generations Psalms 102:12."   We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us and make this reunion even more memorable than before. Also, if you or any family member is concerned about cost, but wishes to attend, please contact me at 281-686-1007 or email me at

Family Reunion Details

Dates: July 30-August 1, 2010
Location: Opelousas, LA
Registration Fee: $40.00/person over the age of 5
Deadline to Register: July 9, 2009

What is included: The Family Website, Holiday Inn Ballroom, South Park indoor building, shirts, children’s activities, catered lunch, water, juice and drinks, Holiday Inn Ballroom, and DJ for the Saturday night Social Event.
Online Registration
The Family Reunion Committee has funded our Family Reunion Website for 4 years. Although it is functioning, our family has not utilized the website to the fullest, as it is a communication device and is less time consuming with registration and organization of the family reunion. We are converting to the online system and would prefer that all attendees register and pay online for the family reunion. This may be our last Family Reunion Newsletter mail out as we will begin communication via the online website. If you have a family member who will not be able to register online you can download a registration form from the website for that family member. 
 
Please send your current e-mail addresses to Sherral Berry at sherrald@att.. 
 
If you need a registration form mailed to you please call Sherral at 281-344-9410.
