ABOUT

Greetings.

Hello Family and Friends. I trust this notice finds You and Yours healthy and safe.   


Months ago we were very pleased to announce the details for this year's reunion in Cleveland, Ohio. However unfortunately due to the serious Coronavirus pandemic and various stay-at-home orders, we have officially POSTPONED the 2020 Miree/Myree Family Reunion.  I purposely use the word 'postponed' and not 'canceled' as our hope is to convene in Cleveland in July 2021 for the 2021 Family Reunion. All of our vendors and service providers are eager to host us in 15 months.


We will keep you updated as future planning for Cleveland 2021 takes place. As always, please do not hesitate to contact us with questions or comments. If not sooner, we hope to see you in July 2021 in The Land!


Regards and safety blessings,

Eric Thompson, Chairman
