Dear Family Members.:

            Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I pray that this letter finds you and your family doing well and in good health. It is that time of year for us to start planning for our Annual Family Reunion. Our Family reunion will be held on Saturday, August 19, 2006 in Warrenton, North Carolina.

            Our family dues have not changed for this year. We are only asking that you pay them earlier this year. We have many exciting activities planned and it will require that we pay for them ahead of time. For Single Family Members (this consist of single parents or individuals 18 years or older – not in school but working) - $50.00. Family Members Dues (this consist of husband, wife and children 17 years of age and under) - $100.00.  We strongly encourage you to pay your dues on or before June 30, 2006 (again, to purchase items before the family reunion date). If you are unable to pay it at that time, then we will gladly accept it when you can. 

             We are looking forward to having a good time this year with new and exciting additions. This year our Family Reunion will be held at the home of Leonard and Johnsie Williams. We will begin on Friday, with a Fish Fry in the afternoon. Saturday, Annual Family Reunion to begin at 11:00. Finally, on Sunday, Annual Homecoming at Shocco Chapel Baptist Church – beginning at 11:00.
