Establish An Organizing Committee
Once you have made the decision to have a family reunion, the best way to
start the ball rolling is to establish an organizing committee. There's no way
that just one person can handle organizing a reunion by themselves. Not only
that, but it is good to have the input of different family members' points of
views. Choose a leader (most likely you) for the committee. Try to organize
a solid group of volunteers and then delegate responsibilities and/or break
people down into subcomittees with these volunteers. |
|
Some typical areas for subcommittees are:
- Site Selection
- Budget or Finance
- Fundraising
- Correspondence and communication
- T-shirts
- Programming & activities
- Family history
- Food or Catering
- Setup and Breakdown
|
| At your first committee meeting, the
first thing to do is make some important
decisions. Hopefully, the polling and surveying you did, along with
the input
from your committee, will allow the group to decide the basics: |
|
Decisions you will need to make:
- When will the reunion be held?
- Who should be invited?
- Where should the reunion take place?
- How long should the reunion be?
- What type of reunion should it be?
- What type of activities or events should be planned?
