We have noticed that our family has grown in size and has experienced much since our last time together, and it’s only befitting that we continue our yearly tradition of coming together, sharing our history, and creating new memories. We are honored to plan and host our family reunion and are certain that this year’s gathering will be as eventful, exciting, and momentous as the ones we have had over recent years. We have worked hard to put together a weekend of activities and entertainment that all will enjoy. As we did last year, we have limited the activities to one day (Saturday, August 13th) and are planning our 2nd Annual Worship Service on Sunday, August 14th. A buffet-style meal will be served on Saturday afternoon (included in the registration fee). As well, we hope to be able to visit an area restaurant Sunday after worship service to enjoy a culminating meal. This meal will not be included in the registration fee, but is sure to be a refreshing and welcomed treat before everyone heads back home. Golden Leaf Commons in Emporia, VA is a 9,000 square foot multi-use assembly hall that is capable of holding 450 guests. Considered “The Showcase of the South,” attendees of recent reunions will tell you, it is a great location for our family to celebrate. The location is also ideal, as it is located in Greensville County, which is located in the general vicinity of our ancestors.Please note one change. Many are accustomed to paying registrations fees upon arrival at the reunion site. However, due to the policy of Golden Leaf Commons, we are no longer able to receive payment at the door. Please, make plans to pay in advance via our website or by contacting one of the committee members to make arrangements. As always, please do not hesitate to contact us with any suggestions.Sincerely,Your Family Reunion Planning Committee____________________________________________________________________________In this family reunion registration packet, you will findSchedule at a GlanceHotel InformationRegistration FormWebsite InformationContact information Harris & Staples 2016 Reunion Detailsleft22860000Dates:Saturday, August 13, 2016 (11:00 pm -7:00 pm) Meet & Greet, Banquet, Activities, & DanceSunday Morning, August 14, 2016 (10:00 am)First Annual Reunion Worship ServiceThose who plan to arrive in Emporia on Friday evening, September 4, 2015, may want to meet with other family members at an area restaurant for an informal get together and meal.
