There’s been so many things that’s held us down;
But now it looks like things are finally comin’ around;
I know we’ve got a long, long way to go;
And where we’ll end up, [only God] knows;
But, we won’t let nothin’ hold us back;
We’re gonna pull ourselves together…we’re gonna polish up our act;
If we’ve ever been held down before, [we] refuse to be held down anymore…
(lyrics from the song: ‘Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now’ made popular by McFadden & Whitehead)
Greetings Gray Family Members,
Please save the date for the 17th Annual Gray Family Reunion, August 29-31, 2008 in Chicago, Illinois. After fifteen wonderful years in Sweet Home Alabama, we are returning north to the beautiful state of Illinois…where the Gray Family Reunion first began in 1991. Our theme this year is: “We Have Come This Far…Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now!”
This website will serve as your one-stop source for receiving family reunion updates, announcements and logistics to assist you with your planning…so please bookmark it as one of your ‘favorite’ internet sites and visit it often.
Communications
We have designated Communications Champions for each state where the majority of family members reside. Communications Champions will be responsible for forwarding emails/contacting family members not on email to ensure all family members are notified of reunion updates on a timely basis. Here are your 2008 Communications Champions:
Central Coordinator
Cynthia Gray-Thomas - graytful7@bellsouth.net, 678-458-5172
Our first family reunion update will be sent via email in early March and will contain complete costs and accommodations logistics to enable you to begin making your plans accordingly.
Monthly family reunion updates will be sent beginning April-August so please be sure to check your email periodically to ensure you stay informed.
We are truly looking forward to seeing each of you, again, and to having a wonderful time of sharing and fellowship. “We Have Come This Far…Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now!”
Graytfully Yours,
2008 Reunion Committee
