"Let's Stay Together"

Greetings Cousins!

Welcome to the DC Chapter’s Zoom Reunion, June 24-25, 2022! This year’s theme, “Cousins Strong – The Next Generation” reflects our attitude of resilience and determination. While not ideal, we recognize the importance of our physical and mental health, and will therefore continue with the reunion, in a virtual space for now.

The DC Cousins have prepared two days of activities acknowledging traditions of past reunions, plus initiating new themes and events that will help us grow and prepare for the future. Friday's program beginning at 7:00 PM will kick off with greetings from our National Chairman, a MD State Senator, musical rendition by two talented Brevard cousins followed by history lessons from our family branches. We'll close out the evening with a virtual game and family party with line dancing and the latest dance moves!

Saturday will open with The Cousins Business Meeting from 10:00 AM until noon. Next you are invited to break for lunch until 1:00 PM.  Following lunch, we have scheduled a number of breakout rooms for all ages to enjoy and a Hospitality Room where you can enter to meet and greet cousins, new and old.

Registration for this year’s reunion is $25 (paid by PayPal) for adults 21 and over and free for children and youth (20 and under). Each registered cousin will receive email access to breakout rooms.  Instructions on the breakout room process will follow.  Payments for the reunion should be received by June 15, 2022.

To end our afternoon Saturday, we will announce the 2022 Scholarship recipients and introduce the host chapter for the 2023 reunion. Take out your phone right now and add the reunion to your calendar! We look forward to seeing each and every one of you. 

Let’s Stay Together!
