Reunion school is in session
These are exciting opportunities to learn how to plan reunions. These are all ideal for beginners and experienced reunion organizers looking for new, fresh ideas.
We
add new conferences, workshops and
seminars as we learn about them. Send yours. We often learn about upcoming events too late to include
in Reunions magazine (send six months in advance),
but we always add them to this site. E-mail the editor; fax (414-263-6331); or send to Reunions magazine,
PO Box 11727, Milwaukee WI 53211-0727.
We include references to workshops without dates set but you should contact
them to ask about their future plans; also remind them to notify
us.
Other good sources to learn about reunions are at genealogy
societies and their conferences and/or workshops. Check their programs
and if you belong to a society, ask the program chairperson to arrange
a reunion workshop or program.

Review:
"The Lake County Family Reunion Workshop was an excellent way for family reunion planners to learn about Lake County. I live in Illinois but never knew what the Lake County area offered. I walked away more knowledgeable of the area. I would encourage anyone involved with their family reunion to participate in these workshops." - Helen Denham, Riverdale, Illinois |
