Memo to the Blackstone Reunion 2007        
 
First I want to say that Aunt Alice had a wonderful birthday party.  Jimbo and Betty know how to throw a great party! Every thing looked great and tasted delicious.
Aunt Alice was wearing her favorite color red and looked absolutely exquisite.  She glowed with beauty as she was wearing a bright red crochet scarf that Aunt Edna Gay made her.  Don't know what it was about her that day but her hair was glistening and her smile was quite special...as seen on the video. :>) As always when you go to Jimbo and Betty's you experience warmth and hospitality.  You leave with a feeling that families are so so precious and you know that we have a great one!
Following Aunt Alice's birthday party the committee held a meeting. The date for the reunion was voted and changed to July 14, 2007 at the Silver Wings, in Brenham, Texas.
Donna resigned as our Treasurer.  She and Candice had been our Treasurer for the past 20 years and both of them had done an unquestionable great job for us.  They always worked at getting us what we needed, when we needed it, as well as looked after keeping our expenses to a minimal. We greatly appreciate the time they took to do us such a great job.  Debi and her son, Benjamin will be our new Treasurers and Edna Gay will resume her role as co-Treasurer.
 
This year at the Blackstone Reunion 2007 Greg and I will set up a studio for professional pictures for all.  All pictures will belong to the Reunion and be used strictly for  the website and generating income for the reunion. We will also take video of the reunion.  After the reunion 2007 we hope to be set up so that you will be able to purchase DVD's from the website through paypal (visa) that will be totally controlled by the Blackstone Reunion account. We plan to have the following on DVD for purchase at the 2007 reunion:
