HELP WANTED
It’s a big task to plan a reunion for a family this size (we estimate that there are more than 1,000 descendants) and there are many opportunities to help out. If you are interested in working on a particular committee, please contact the committee head directly (please see the committee information blog post). Or if you would like to know where your services can be best used, please contact Bryant or Darlene Robison (contact info below). We’ll find a job for you.

We Need Your RSVPs

COST

We are working hard to make sure the reunion is affordable for everyone. We are suggesting that each individual family donate $10 per person or $30 per family to cover the expense of Dinner, Breakfast and Lunch and help with the cost of the facilities. However we do not want anyone to not attend because they are unable to make the suggested donation. Those who are in a position to make a more generous contribution are welcome to do so.

Also to help defray the expense, we will have a family auction Saturday morning. Please consider bringing a fun item to be auctioned. Remember the auction is not just for fund raising but also for “fun” raising.

Send funds to:
Esther Olson
Make checks payable to: Robison Family Reunion Fund
Please send funds in by November 1.

Where are the Ben and Mildred Robison Decendents?

2008-08-17T20:41:00.000-07:00

Hey Family, we are waiting to hear from you. We have had a great response from many branches of our family. But we are worried about communication with the Ben and Mildred Robison branch. About half of the decendents of Joseph and Nellie Robison are from Uncle Ben's family. It's important that the word get out to all of them. Please help us gather email addresses for their grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc.

Those of you who have your own family blogs, let us know if you would like us to add a link to your blog--several of you have already. This can help us learn more about each of our families.

Once again, you can leave information as a comment on this blog, or you can email to family@robisonfamilyreunion.org.
