I have arranged to have the parish hall at my church to use with our Pierson Family Reunion #1 (and only to the best of my knowledge).  Everyone that has contacted me has asked what they can do to help out.  We cannot have alcohol on the premises... historically not good for the Pierson clan anyway.  We can eat, drink and be merry on our own good spirits.  I got to know my cousins pretty well when I lived up in Kansas.  Since the family has kinda sorta spread to all points of the compass, it has become more difficult.  Doing a quick head count, I figure that we will have between 30 and 45 in attendance.  Probably have a dozen or so kids under 12.  I will probably have a couple of guitars and amps available, Jeremy, plays guitar, keyboard and sings, Jonathan plays guitar, Chuck plays bass, Fawn and Jeremy drums....we should be able to do a couple of songs. 

If you have any ideas for what the younger ones could do as games or entertainment, let me know...otherwise it will be 10 minutes and they will be bored s.....less.  They may all bring video games. I don't know.  We shall have to feed ourselves...of course, no family reunion can take place without eats.    I will need volunteers to bring drink, ice, plates, eating ware, napkins/paper towels, and food.  Meat and cheese tray, vegetable  tray, fruit tray, sandwiches, chips.  Different folks are coming from different areas.....not all of us live in spring branch in Houston.......oops...sorry, I'm  only one of two or three that live in Spring Branch....   We may have folks coming from Clear Lake area, Katy area, La Porte, Dallas area, Austin....Kansas may not be too likely... haven't heard back from them as of yet.

I am going to post a chart of the Descendants of Wes and Hallie Pierson at the reunion....It would be helpful if I had the names, dates of birth, marriage and divorce, and death as appropriate of each descendant.  I have a lot of info but not all.....It would also be helpful to have pictures of each of your immediate family members.  It's ok if it's in a very wide white pin striped suit and you're facing to the right or left....will be a bit more appropriate historically.

Time will pass very quickly so let me know how each of you  want to proceed with bringing stuff as well as people...


thanks
