Dear Family Members,
You have been patiently waiting for what we hope to be the most exciting news since the inauguration! The Orlando Steering Committee and I are excited about having you once again in the "City Beautiful," Orlando, Florida.
Our reunion is a grand celebration where we reconnect our family. It is a time to embrace who we are and where we came from and to look forward to our future; our future as the Burke-Gallon Family is bright!
The reunion will be held on June 16th - 19th, 2011. We are diligently preparing an exciting agenda of activities throughout the weekend. We hope you will join us for a time of food, fun, and fellowship as we celebrate.
This year we want to make sure to connect our familly to these historical years while the world experiences the eloquence of America's first African Ameican President - a new swagger of royalty - President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. (I smile every time I say that!) We also want to connect our younger generation to the profoundly rich heratitage from which they have come. All of the activites this year will provide an out of the box experience that you will not soon forget.
We look forward to seeing you in the very near future. Please contact us if you
have family members who do not have access to receive our reunion information via website, email, and/or postal service. Since the last reunion, we as a familly, have had some incredible moments to share. We will take time to relish in all of the triumphs, treasure all the memories. Whether we are pool-side or around a pool talbe we are going to enjoy spending time with our most valuable assest; our family.
We are looking forward to seeing each and every one of you! You don't want to miss it.
