Hello all,
It's that time of the year again for the Bumpus clan to get together. This year marks the 39th annual reunion. We hope that you can join us for 3 days of fellowship, relaxation and catching up August 7-8-9. Join us for one day or all three the important thing is that you are there. When we talk to our friends about the reunion, they can't believe we get together every year. It allows our family to remain close unlike so many others. It is truly special so please make an effort to attend.
The reunion has been a great success over the years so the format will basically remain intact. We are hopeful there is one new tradition "Past, Present, Future" that gets started. Don't forget to bring auction items, swimsuits if you want to participate in the giant slip 'n slide and photos for the Saturday afternoon "show and tell". Please see the schedule for times and events throughout the weekend.
If you are interested in staying in the house, please call or email to insure your space... .first come, first serve. If you cannot make it but want to send a letter or email to let us know what is going on with your family, we will be glad to share it. It would be nice if we can build a list of everybody's email, could you please send - yours to the below email address.
Lastly, we would like to thank everyone who works hard throughout the year to guarantee all of us a great three-day weekend every summer. See you there!!
