Family Reunion Fall Festivities

Alert! It's Autumn. Do you know where your family members are? The fall season is on. Autumn leaves are falling. The air is cooling and it's time to unpack the sweaters and jackets. One problem. Where is everybody? Sometimes during this season family members get more isolated than ever. More schoolwork, more overtime and when they all finally come home, they want more ME-time. Don't miss the best part of the fall season? Getting warm and toasty while cozying up with family over a warm pot of soup, stew, chili and good cheer.

So how do you bring the family together? First, set a family dinner date. Next, make use of an age-old method for bringing the family together no matter where they are in or outside the house. A wholesome cooking date! If you cook it, they will come! Yes, fill the home with the aroma of good wholesome cooking and warm homemade bread and top it off with warm baked dessert. The aroma of onions, tomatoes, fried potatoes, scallions, garlic, butter and seasoned meat and something sweet shouts 'come and get it!' before you can say 'dinners ready!"

But cooking doesn't have to be complicated. Easy crockpot recipes abound. Just chop it up in the morning and throw it in the pot. Before you leave for work turn it on low. By afternoon the home is toasty and filled with an inviting 'Lets Eat' aroma even the most introverted teen can't resist.

Time to take the crockpot out of the box and stock up on wholesome crockpot recipes to warm that belly and delight the palate. Start collecting family recipes for chili, sweet rolls, and hot apple cinnamon pie.

Even better why not plan a Fall Family Food Fest and make it a family reunion themed event. A good event organizer is essential so that nothing is overlooked. The Internet is teaming with event organizing checklists and templates. When putting together your menu plan make good use of a menu planner and family recipe compiler... Get great ideas here...

Why Rebuild And Maintain Your Family Reunion Website

"Friends will come and go, but family will always be there."

That said, it is wise to find a way to stay in touch. This article explains simple ways to instantly reconnect with family and keep the dialogue going.

Often family members become more distant because of the strain of the economy, taking on two or more jobs and coping the demands of day to day life leaves little time to connect with remote family members. Falling behind responding to letters,  phone messages, texts, and email can make connecting even more difficult. Before you know it months have passed by and you now must face the music at the next family reunion.  Is there a way to avoid this dilemma without having to increase phone calls? Yes. Build and maintain a family reunion website.

Imagine having a central place on the web that everyone knows about which features a discussion board and content devoted to the cause of family life.  Best of all there are a variety of ways to connect with family from one dedicated family reunion website.  Discussion board tied to social accounts, text apps and email help keep the group dialog going.  

Family historians and genealogists can post family history updates, add to family history photo gallery, and post news of ancestral findings such as DNA results, wills, estates, and heirlooms.  

Broadcasting videos and announcing upcoming or current event news is what family reunion websites are best used for.  Announce fundraisers and event ticket sales. You can blast announcements to email, via group text and more. But the absolute best feature is video uploads. What better place to display your video than on your own family's dedicated website. These intimate events are what the Internet is all about. 

But why, after the family reunion event is over, do most family reunion planners shut down their family reunion website? There could be a number of reasons. An expired credit card, cancellation of the email used to verify account ownership, forgetting the password, or just underestimating the value and power of a website dedicated to the entire clan.  To keep the family reunion website up and running consider sharing the cost with two or more other family members. A good incentive to pay is VIP privileges, rewards and freebies associated with the next reunion event.

Imagine being able to send out wedding and graduation party invitations with RSVP via the family website. Posting a gift wishlist for any occasion. Getting needed funds for college, medical bills and other family emergencies. Posting news clips featuring a family milestone. Posting family business ads. Sending a group greeting card just to say "I Love You All." No one will say "I haven't heard from you" ever again.

While it is true that once the big event has passed, website activity tends to decrease, that's no reason to close your family website account. Once the next reunion is planned activity will pick up. And if everyone pitches in to update the content the activity will remain fun and lively. That said, family reunion websites are perhaps the most effective ways to connect, update and empower the family without having to call, text or web conference individually.

What! You don't have a family reunion website? Looking to renew a canceled or suspended web account? No problem. Start rebuilding your family's central place on the web right here...

5 Reunion Fundraising Ideas

So your family reunion event is a few months away and your reunion money box shrinking. The trick to growing your funds is to use those few dollars to make more funds  How? Two words. Yard sale. 

Yard Sale Ideas

Start at home. Collect items you may have stored away that are good as new and likely to stir the interest of friends, family and neighbors. Ask local family members to donate yard sale items - proceeds toward the family reunion.

Family Auction And Lease

Need more funds? Consider having a family auction. Most family members have something to donate to that other family members would like to own or lease. The beauty of a lease auction is that you can always get the item back after a few months of possession.

Online Fund Raiser

One of the most time-effcient and cost-effective ways to raise funds is to promote a fundraiser to all family members via your google+ or facebook page. You can do this easily using your FRP Social Interface. Fimark's Family Reunion Planner Social features great fundraiser ideas which I will discuss later in this article.

Fund Raiser Web App

Another way to hold an online fundraiser is using a standalone application and pre-built webpage devoted to the fundraiser. The MyEvent folks have been online for over a decade and know how to prepare a fully functional fundraising web application for your next online fundraiser. Take a tour at Myevent.com

Rallying Support For The Fund Raising Event

Send out flyers, emails, text messages and invitations at least three weeks in advance that includes all items going up for sale. List items in categories to make desired items easy to find on your list. Have attendees share in organizing and managing some aspect of the event to ensure that they will be present to participate.

Remember, the objective of your fundraiser is to raise reunion funds, not to spend reunion funds. That said, make sure that all who attend bring a dish, drinks, and supplies to equalize the expense and prevent having to dip into the reunion account.

For more ideas to get your fundraiser off and running consult Fimark's award winning Family Reunion Planner Social web app. What, don't have FRP Social web app yet?

Life Is Short - Celebrate The Lives of Those True To You

In a world ravaged by fake news, scandals and epidemic disappointments, 

there are only five things you can really count on
 to lift your spirits and provide enjoyment in life.

1. A rock solid faith in ageless guiding principles.
2. The sources of those principles.
3. True love from family and true friends.
4. A vivid hope for better days to come.
5. The gift to express love and gratitude to those who have been true to you.

Life is short and there is no easy street. True friends and strong family ties are hard to come by.  It's important to do what we can to preserve those precious relationships we have. But preserving and surviving is not living. To live you must celebrate your bounty. That said, this year make it your aim to live in the moment by spending time planning creative ways to express your love for those who are special and true in your life.  How?

1. Get to know your family members and friends on a higher or deeper level. Spend more time listening and asking questions to get a clearer understanding of their hopes, dreams, principles, and interests.

2. Show them that you heard them. Show them that you were really listening by writing a brief letter expressing your appreciation for sharing.  Add it to a card and put a small token in the card that is reminiscent of the time you shared listening.

3. Followup by being more inclusive.  Include their thoughts, expressions, and interests in your everyday conversation and routine with them.

4. Share your hopes and dreams. Nothing says I love you more than fulfilling hopes and dreams shared over time together. And what better way to celebrate those hopes and dreams than at a family gathering, get-to-together or family reunion. It's a great time for creative expressions of endearment and affection, empowerment, gift giving, motivation and inspiration, creative poetry recital, family slideshows, achievement awards, lots of hugs and self-esteem building.

How To Fulfill Your 2018 Goals List

After a beautiful autumn in 2017, here we are in the middle of February 2018. 

This is the time of year I consider how close I've gotten to my goals and the productive

results of those I've reached. How did I do and what have I learned from the process?

I have managed to balance family, secular work, community volunteer service, and business. I must admit, 
much was accomplished this past year as the following reveals.
1. I wrote three books. 
2. Planned, organized and managed two social events. 
3. Engaged 5 entertainment gigs.
4. Hosted several dinners with extended family and friends.
5. Restructured my financial plan.
6. Acquired a beautiful Kia SUV. 
7. Sold my old faithful silver sedan.
8. Made many new true friends.
9. Got even closer to my wife.
10. Learned new things about myself, my family and ancestry.

I must admit, though, there were a number of items on my goals list I would have loved to have fulfilled in 2017, but there are only
12 months in a year. So what outstanding goals are on my list? 

1. Plan an outdoor BBQ style family reunion this summer.
2. Put on a bubble show at my relative's kids graduation party
3. Throw a family reunion talent show
4. Enjoy a black tie 39th wedding anniversary party
5. Write a children's book in rhyme with illustrations and audio.

I'm happy to say I'm making wonderful memories while planning each event.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

What are your New Years resolutions? How close are you to meeting your goal? Here's are some tips that help make your resolutions a reality.

1. Don't pretend to be or have what you want in life. Experience life at it's best, in the raw. Be what you are while learning to be your best self.

2.  Give yourself permission to be truly happy and content with who you are, what you have, and those you have to share it with. 

2. Discover who and what you really are. That means looking past the mistakes, looking over the slip-ups, looking beyond the impositions of history, and accepting that there are things you have no control over. Focus on discovering your gifts, see your potential and hone your empowering traits and endearing qualities.

3. Focus on living in the moment while planning for the future. 

4. Plan the big stuff. Enjoy the little things. Let the rest of life play out. Don't overthink it.

5. Life is short, so keep your camera on. You never know when a priceless picture of your life happen and then quickly pass by.

6. You cannot do it all on your own. Sincere prayer for wisdom, insight, discernment, and guidance helps profoundly.
