How To Get Better Connected For Family Reunion Planning

How does the reunion planner/ coordinator start connecting with family members to throw a family reunion?

Keeping up with everyone in the family is vital to planning a family reunion. For starters send out a big group hello. Talk about some milestones reach in the family. Mention the elders and express gratitude as often as possible. Now that the dialogue has been established it's time to widen out. Ask for phone numbers of relatives not among your contacts.  Since you already have a database somewhere on your phone tablet or PC look them over. 

Adding Contacts to your Social Network

Social networks make it easy to keep up with family affairs but don't overdo it. Signing up for different social apps can prove daunting and downright confusing. The solution to keeping up with all those apps? Focus on making good use of the most widely used social media platforms and apps by the majority of your family members. Narrow usage down to one or two social apps, like Facebook which has a versatile contact database and a wide variety of applications ideal for early stage reunion planning such as event announcements featuring the number attending. 
Make good use of 'Likes'

When surveying the family for the most preferred event locations and reunion activities make good use of Facebook 'Likes' which are automatically tallied. Take polls, notes and make use of a variety of messaging and communication features.

November - Family Reunion Planning Month

What? 2017 is almost on its way out? How could that be? Where did the time go? Did I collect enough memories? My head is spinning from the sheer speed of time passing me by. O well. They say the older you get the faster time flies - but this?  Did I even put a dent in this year?

If there is one thing I've learned, it's this: History will be made with or without our contribution.  To change history for the better is perhaps one of the greatest achievements there is. Making legacy of life and granting the next generation a heritage worthy of pride and celebration.  The key to making those achievements stick is knowing how to celebrate them.  Think family history documentary, complete with family interviews, a walk down memory lane while visiting old stomping grounds, schools, and other history locals as well as genealogy research and DNA reports.

What better way to present and celebrate your family history than an annual family reunion gathering.
