I hope this newsletter finds you and your family well. It’s time for the 46th Annual TFR, and this year finds us going to the Pennsylvania Poconos. Let’s see what’s been going on since last we were together…

FAMILY NEWS BITES:
Aunt Naomi Thompson was hospitalized earlier this year with pneumonia and is now fighting a blood clot. So, as always, she and her
family are in all our prayers. FAMILY BI-LAWS:
The family bi-laws were finalized in 2013. Please make sure you have your copy and if there are any recommendations you can recommend, we’d be glad to get your feedback. WEBSITE:
The family still has a web page on Facebook, so please ensure that you visit it often. The page is managed by Sierra Gray, and on our web page you can get family info, view family photos and see any updates or announcements pertaining to the family at www.facebook.com/ThompsonsFamily1
So, please send Sierra any news or updates you may have for our page. She can be reached through FB. FUNDRAISERS:
We are considering doing another family calendar for 2016. What do you think? Go to our FB page and give us your thoughts. If you have any pictures you’d like to appear in the calendar, please ensure you email them to me. FAMILY DUES:
The family still continues to collect annual dues in the amount of $60/year, per household or working adult. Let’s keep Louis busy writing out these receipts by sending in your dues!! Please make your check payable to:
Thompson Family Reunion
P.O. Box 5338
Philadelphia, PA 19142
Your family thanks you for doing all you can to help keep our family afloat. REMEMBER: These funds are used for our family picnic, good & welfare (cards & monetary gifts), family meeting spaces and other family functions that benefit: the family. So, please continue to do what you can to support our family. TFR REUNION 2015:
This year’s reunion will be held the Pennsylvania Poconos in Stroudsburg, PA on Labor Day weekend, September 4-7, 2015. Attached you will find the flyer with complete information for making your reservations. We look forward to seeing you there! TFR REUNION 2016:
For those of you who may be reading this thinking: “the Poconos? I didn’t vote for that… whose idea was that”, well, now is your opportunity to start scouting venues for the 2016 reunion. Start doing your research now, and bring your info to this year’s Family Meeting. What to include in your presentation:
• Some information about your destination
• Things to do around your destination
• Information on your chosen hotel including pricing and any amenities
• Any recommendations for group events / outings
Then, once all the suggestions are heard, the family will vote for the 2016 venue. Maybe your suggestion will be the one that the family agrees on for next year… you never know!! But you can’t win if you don’t play
SAVE THE DATES:
Below are the dates we want you to keep in mind for this year’s main events:
Saturday, August 8, 2015: 5th Annual Thompson Family Picnic at 63rd & Cedar, in Philadelphia, PA. Friday, September 4th – Monday, September 7th, 2015: 46th Annual Thompson Family Reunion in the PA Poconos – Stroudsburg, PA. That’s it for now!! With Love,
Your Family Secretary
