The Group Shelter Building
Forsyth, Monroe Co., Georgia

The Group Shelter building is where we will meet. This is a very nice building with Heat and Air conditioning, parking, a large commercial kitchen, and separate bathrooms for men and women. We will have to bring all cooking utensils as they are not furnished by the park management.
We plan to have computers set up and be able to scan pictures; and make CD’s. We will have a tour of the local cemeteries for those interested.
Each family is asked to bring enough food to feed their family plus two other people. This will accommodate others who are traveling from out of state and have no means to prepare a meal. Those from out of town could pick up a bucket of chicken, etc. Do you have any food allergies or a special diet?
If you plan to attend please furnish:
Your Name
Postal Address
E-mail address
the number of people you will have in your family, with their information as above.
We will need this information no later that September 20, 2007 if possible.
Please tell us of any events in your family since the last reunion. Marriages, Births, Deaths, change of address, etc. The information would be prepared as a newsletter and given to everyone at the reunion.
Come prepared to have a good time! We look forward to seeing everyone and meeting new family members!
