A FAMILY REUNION

amily reunions are a great way for families to stay connected. When planning a family reunion, those trusted to organize the event will be met with many challenges. But the following tips should help the process go as smoothly as possible.

FSTART EARLY. The earlier you start the more time for family members to nd deals on hotels/ transportation. It also gives time to nd entertainment, such as a sporting event or an amusement park.

SOCIAL MEDIA. Social media has made it easy to keep in touch. Post ideas for entertainment and activities and assign di erent tasks to di erent family members who have con rmed their attendance.

CHOOSE A CENTRAL LOCATION. Though it might be sentimental to hold the reunion in a city or town where your family has its deepest roots, such a location might not be practical for families who have branched out geographically. Try to nd a location that’s accessible to the largest number of attendees.

ARRANGE FOR TRANSPORTATION AHEAD OF TIME. You might want to rent a small or large bus for the weekend so those without access to transportation can travel together.
