Keeping in Touch
As Christmas comes to an end and we prepare to celebrate the beginning of a new year, I hope everyone has had some wonderful new memories with their loved ones and I want to put out a request for some brainstorming related to family that will carry on to the new year and years to come.
All of us have been touched in one way or another by the HRCJ Association and I want everyone to begin their new year considering how this strong loving group of cousins will continue to celebrate together in the years to come. From April 4th -6th, the executive committee will be meeting to begin planning the 2016 Convocation and we want to encourage everyone’s input for the planning. Please consider when, where and what you would like to incorporate as part of the 2016 Convocation by asking yourself these questions:
Convocation Photos Posted
Hello Cousins! I have just posted some photos from the 2013 Convocation on our site. Check them out by following the Family Photos link on the left. If you have any family photos or videos from Convocation (or otherwise) that you would like to see on the site, please email them to me (Erin Harms) with the names of family members shown. Include which branch of the family you’re from so I can create a photo page for each family.
