Hello Everyone,
First of all, MANY THANKS to each of you who has stepped up to help pull this event together by generously donating your financial support, time, space, ideas, etc. Honestly, I think everything has fallen into place far better than I could have hoped. Also, I’m so delighted that with your support we will be able to get together without fundraisers or charging anyone a fee to participate. Now, I just have one more request of you--please pray for good weather!
Those of you who cannot attend will surely be missed. However, you will still receive your family copy of the Bishop-Couch photo family tree. Please email me with your home mailing address, so I can send it to you following the reunion. Photos will also be posted on Facebook, but I can also email some photos to you—just ask.
Here's the finalized itinerary for you to share with your families and it will be posted on the Bishop-Couch Reunion page:
