Ordering Family Reunion T-shirts online, great, but gain knowledge first!

In January of 1977, a groundbreaking mini-series aired on primetime television that led to an increase in people becoming more interested in their family history. That mini-series was Alex Haley’s Roots: The Saga of an American Family. This six-part historical epic had a great impact on making the public aware that they could indeed trace far back into the past to discover their own lineage, and consequently locate family members that they may not have even known existed in other parts of the country, or even other parts of the world!
The study or investigation of your ancestry and family history is called genealogy. The dictionary defines genealogy as “an account of the descent of a person, family, or group from an ancestor or from older forms.” People have always had an innate curiosity about “who am I and where do I come from?,” and with the latest technological advancements people can now research their own “roots” from the comfort of their homes via the internet.
During the years when slavery existed in this country, many families were torn apart when members of their family were sold to different plantations. After slavery was abolished in 1865, families had a desire to locate and reunite with each other. This great point in American history can possibly be one of the reasons why family reunions are so traditional today.
People will come from all over the country to gather with family members that they have not seen in years to see how each other has been doing, and just to take a break from regular life. They take some time to laugh and enjoy being together again. During this most joyous time, they are able to get updated on the latest information about what has happened over the years with family members, both ones they know and some they may not know. “Is Uncle George in Alabama still living?” or “Did Cousin Susie in Kansas ever get married?”
Also during this time, members from both sides of the family are given a chance to meet the newest offspring and additions to the family since they last came together. This is a wonderful time to let the youngest ones know that “I am your Uncle Frank or Aunt Caroline that you have never met.”
Planning a family reunion is not an easy task, especially when you are dealing with a very large family, so all the work of planning should not be just on one or two people because what will happen is that the one or two people that organize the reunion will become so worn out from all the planning and work of putting everything together that when all the family finally does come together for the event they will be too tired to even enjoy it.
So what is a better way to tackle the problem of organizing such a wonderful gathering?
Here is one suggestion. Have members of the family who are good at organizing form a small committee, and then select one as the chair of the committee. Once this is done, the first task is to make a list of all that has to be accomplished to make this event a success. Next, section the work off, meaning divide the work up like a pie. That will make it easier to see what has already been done and still be able to target what needs to be completed to cover all of the work full circle.
It may also be a good idea from time to time to have the committee members pull others that are experienced in certain areas to help with some of the smaller tasks, such as making phone calls or stuffing invitations. Little things like this can be a great help to the committee in keeping things running smoothly.
Good food is always one of the main attractions at any family reunion. Whoever is in charge of the food must make sure that there is enough to go around for firsts and seconds, because we all know how much Uncle Joe and Cousin Becky can put it away! But don’t go overboard and prepare too much and have an excess amount that will end up being thrown out. It is also very important to always keep in mind the proper handling of food. Raw, perishable foods, such as raw meats, should always be separated from other foods like salads and sandwiches. If the blood from the meat that comes in contact with other foods in normal temperatures within the warmer months, this is called “cross-contamination” which can lead to food poisoning.
Temperatures between 40 degrees Fahrenheit to 140 degrees Fahrenheit are called the “temperature danger zone.” This is when bacteria, like salmonella and campylobacter, get their chance to grow.
So make sure that whoever is handling the food for your family reunion takes a little time to learn about cross-contamination and how to avoid it. This information is very important and should not be taken lightly.
When you’re the head person of putting together a family reunion, you should always keep in mind the best accommodations for family members coming in from different areas across the country so that they will be comfortable during their stay. You should correspond with them months in advance to find out if they have found any good hotels in your city that are clean, have great service and reasonable rates. If not, then this is another area where you and the committee members can also help since you know your own city better than they do.
Before you make a final decision on the location to hold your family reunion, you should consider these few points:
1) Will the location that I choose be easy to get to from my city’s airports or trains? Because you must remember that everyone may not be driving.
2) This one is very important: Will there be adequate parking for all of my family that are coming in from other cities? The reason this point is so important is because who wants to travel 700 or 800 miles to your city and after all of that still have to catch a city bus or walk ten blocks just to get to the reunion location?
3) Try to get a location where you will be able to have a clear view of your children from almost any direction.
4) Call ahead and find out if there are recreational accommodations for your family to enjoy (camping grounds, baseball fields, and so on) and make sure that there are proper restroom facilities, because at some family reunions people like to play music and dance, and if you see a member of your family dancing that you know doesn’t like to dance, they may be dancing for a different reason.
And 5)Find out if there is shelter in case a storm comes through to rain on your parade.
Let the older generation talk. This is from my own experiences of life. I have learned from the time when I was a child to respect and listen to the great wisdom and knowledge that one can extract from the elders, not just within your own family, but also from elderly people that you may come in contact with as you go about your daily life.
This discipline was given to me from my mother, one of the most beautiful women that ever walked the face of the earth, Ms. Willie Sue Mcreynolds. She taught me to respect and listen to the advice that they can give on many aspects of life. After all, they have been around a lot longer than us, and they have experienced things that we know nothing about. And a family reunion is one of the greatest opportunities for their seed to gather around them to listen to the great wisdom and knowledge that is stored within them.
One of the main items that should always be included in every family reunion are custom printed T-shirts with great artwork and information about your family.
T-shirts have been around for years and have made their mark on both the corporate and social worlds. T-shirts have the power to make a statement like no other apparel can. So the person that is the committee organizer must hire a screen printing company that will do the best job of printing family reunion T-shirts that will be not only fun to wear, but a lasting memento that everyone can enjoy for years to come.
