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.

Annual Family Reunion Planning Month Is On

Annual Family Reunion Planning Month is being observed by an ever growing diverse group of family reunion enthusiasts, genealogists, culture fest and history buffs to promote awareness of family values to bring family and community closer together.

Other hold free community concerts, school talent shows featuring family groups or historic community presentations featuring town and city tours or free restaurant taste tests.

This is a great time to invite family reunion planners as well as family recipe cooking demonstrations during FRPM food fests. "Two of our favorite activities has been having a neighborhood lawn and leaf party one weekend and a food fest the next", Mark reminisces.

Mutual support in the household engenders sustainable personal, community and  economic growth as families focus on family union. The key is by promoting fun and lively activities such as genealogy presentations, creative talent shows, culture fests, tourism and community and neighborhood volunteer work all with a view to family and community empowerment.

Creative family reunion planning contributes all that and more as families prepare reunion entertainment, diverse cultural fests and genealogy presentations in a fun and engaging way.

So Precious

This weekend Brenda and I enjoyed our granddaughter for two full days and one night. This was the second time she spent the night with her grands. Her personality is blossoming. Bubbly and full of wonder.

I've yet to sing her a lullaby, blow bubbles or run around the park with her. But I can see that day will come soon, and when it does we'll be lost in wonderland. So precious will ours days be.

I only fear that she will grow up too fast on this side (the faster side) of the world in which we live. But I will do my best to show her all the wonders of nature, science and the arts. Most important will be teacher her to  deeply value, respect and dignify her relationship with others combined with the satisfaction that comes from seeing good for all her hard work.
