• Please set aside the above date for once again meeting with kin and families descending from Thomas Green, Duplin Co., NC, born before 1726 – died about 1800. This is the 3rd of a continuing series of reunions to both rekindle fellowship with our kin and to review and honor the experiences and adversity of our ancestry.
• We continue to seek email address updates to be sure notices are provided to all. Please collect and forward email address updates so that we can continue building a more accurate distribution list. Corrections and additions would be most helpful.
• We plan for a quality Thomas Green Descendants document with detailed content. But please be assured that the book (or alternative media) will be available to you at whatever the cost is to us, that is, our time and effort is a labor of love and respect for our heritage. We’ve received much encouragement but continue to seek indications of interests.
• So far, there are only 3 or 4 involved in reunion preparations but, as many of you know, the level of effort required builds rapidly in the several months preceding a reunion. Please advise if you are willing to assist and any special talents or resources you might have to offer. Of particular interest is the need to project a computer image to a large screen display (TV or screen) for presentations purposes. Please advise if you know of or have such a capability.
• It goes without saying that anyone involved in reunion preparations wishes their reunion to be a success and that is certainly the case for your Thomas Green Reunion team. A feeling of success lies in how one feels when walking out the door at the end of the reunion. It is our desire that each attendee sense both a fulfillment of knowledge and a satisfaction of fellowship that attendance has been worth the time and effort.
