Dear Family Members and Friends,

Family reunions can connect the next generation to their past. The adults, teens, and children will know who they are because of their family members.

 

Family and friends, based on information from the many and not the few, our next family reunion should be in the year 2026. This is the every two years plan that started in early 1970 by Minnie M. Lee children.

 

Could you plan a big reunion on your own? Sure, if you quit your job, cancelled your social life, and left your family to fend for themselves for a few months. For most of us, this is as unappealing as it is impossible. That leaves forming a reunion committee.

 

A reunion committee’s function is obvious: they research and decide on all things reunion-related, from pre-event fundraising to post-event cleanup.

 

Our hope and goal is for one or two people will volunteer to start the 2026 Minnie M. Lee Family Reunion committee recruitment process. The committee should be formed not later than February 28, 2025.
