Well hello family. Summer is right around the corner. Take advantage of the cooler weather before the 100+ degrees settle in. There have been some reunion challenges as well as accomplishments.
The greatest accomplishment first. The RolanFamilyReunion is set for Sat Sept 16th at the Thorndale VFW hall. This is the big change tied to the challenges listed below. So now, everyone can celebrate on Sat then get home for church on Sunday. YES!
2023 Rolan Reunion Sat Sept 16th 302 E Moerbe Dr
(right next to the FireHall), Thorndale, TX 76577
Venmo, Zelle & PayPal are all set up allowing donations to the reunion fund (scan barcode using your smart phone). Remember RolanFamilyReunion donations are tax deductible since (last year or before) we received non-profit status.
Challenges:
- RolanReunion.com website (and a lot of others) was sold to another hosting company and they were having troubles recovering our most recent data. They took weeks to recover our data and now finally be able update things. We will be holding our breath that everything works.
- The Thorndale VFW hall management was changed and it took 3 months or more to get someone to start communicating with us. This lack of communications prevented any early scheduling of this year’s reunion. Finally got availability dates for the fall period and all the “good” dates were already taken. So, the decision was made to schedule Sat Sept 16th as the date for the 74th reunion.
- BBQ. I believe will be provided by Thorndale Meat Market.
